• Pretty much useless unless you purchase their premium version.

    UPDATE: This company shoves their premium version down your throat. In the post edit screen, even if uncheck their plugin (because, like I said, it’s useless unless you buy their premium version), it resets upon saving your post. The plugin constantly asks you to upgrade. And then, if you leave negative feedback, the plugin responds (below), telling you that if you are unhappy with its free version, to upgrade. ENOUGH ALREADY!

    Much, much better plugins exist – ALL FREE. The Jetpack auto posting feature, which comes standard with most WordPress installations – is much better, more robust, and not annoying. If you want to continually autopost, try Revive Old Posts. And Pinterest Automatic is also great, which, unlike this plugin, only requires a one-time fee.

  • Hello @miheui

    We are sorry to hear your opinion.
    Like many other plugins on WordPress, Blog2Social is Freemium, which means that we offer a basic free version as well as advanced features in the Premium version.
    More than 40.000 users are perfectly happy with the free version. We offer a wide range of automation and customizing options in the free version.

    However, some functions of the auto-poster are premium features, to ensure compliance with the new API rules of the social networks. Other features, like posting to 14 social media account at once, is included in the free version.

    There are in fact a lot of things you can do with the free version of Blog2Social.
    For example:

    – share your posts or pages on 14 different social networks at once: Twitter, Facebook (profile and page), LinkedIn (profile), XING (profile), Instagram, Pinterest, Reddit, Torial, Medium, Tumblr, Flickr, Diigo, Bloglovin, and VK

    – customize your social media posts with personal comments, hashtags, handles, emojis, and select an image of your choice from your blog post. You can even edit the complete HTML markup for re-publishing your post on Tumblr, Torial, and Medium.

    – view all your social media posts in one single place

    – automatically generate hashtags from the tags of your post

    – edit the meta tag information of your blog posts and pages

    – use the free Blog2Social Extension for Firefox and Chrome to save links while browsing and share them whenever you want.

    If that’s enough for you, you can stay with Blog2Social free forever. If you need more advanced sharing and scheduling options for auto-posting and cross-promoting your posts and contents you can upgrade to Premium anytime.

    I don’t see an option to add Pinterest to Jetpack.

    OMFG, I tried Revive Old Posts, and it won’t let me add anything other than FB and Twitter. What gives?
