For Developers:

Owlstack provides a simple PHP API for publishing from themes or other plugins:

// Publish to Telegram
owlstack()->telegram('Hello from WordPress!');

// Publish to Twitter/X
owlstack()->twitter('Hello from WordPress!');

// Publish to a specific platform by name
owlstack()->publish($post, 'linkedin');

// Publish to all configured platforms
owlstack()->toAll($post);

Third-Party Services

This plugin connects to external third-party services to publish your content. Data such as post title, excerpt, URL, and featured image may be sent to the platforms you configure. No data is sent unless you explicitly configure and enable a platform.

FAQ

What platforms are supported?

Telegram, X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Discord, Pinterest, Reddit, Slack, Tumblr, and WhatsApp are all supported.

Does this plugin require Composer?

No. All dependencies are bundled with the plugin. Simply install and activate it from your WordPress admin panel.

How do I get API credentials for each platform?

Can I customize which post types are supported?

Yes. Use the owlstack_supported_post_types filter:

add_filter('owlstack_supported_post_types', function ($types) {
    return ['post', 'page', 'product'];
});

Is there proxy support?

Yes. Configure proxy settings in Owlstack > Settings for servers that cannot access social media APIs directly.

Where are delivery logs stored?

Delivery logs are stored in a custom database table (wp_owlstack_delivery_logs). You can view them under Owlstack > Delivery Logs.

What is the OwlStack Cloud connection?

If you use the OwlStack Cloud dashboard, you can connect it to your site without sharing a WordPress username or Application Password. Go to Owlstack > Cloud, generate a site token, and paste it into the OwlStack dashboard together with your site URL. The token is scoped to a minimal set of plugin endpoints: OwlStack Cloud can create posts (as the author you choose, as a draft or published based on your setting), upload images for featured media, and remove posts it created — nothing else. Only a hash of the token is stored, you can revoke it at any time, and the plugin never makes outbound calls to OwlStack Cloud. The feature is entirely optional and inactive until you generate a token.

Changelog

1.1.2

  • Every link in the plugin now points to owlstack.app, the current OwlStack domain. The previous owlstack.dev links no longer reach the public site.

1.1.1

  • Tested against WordPress 7.1.
  • No functional changes. The post editor meta box, publishing, and the Cloud connection are unaffected by the 7.1 iframed editor and client-side media processing changes.

1.1.0

  • New: OwlStack Cloud connection (Owlstack > Cloud). Generate a revocable site token so the OwlStack Cloud dashboard can publish posts to this site without a WordPress username or Application Password.
  • New: Incoming content controls — always draft, always publish, or honor the requested status; configurable post author and post type.
  • New: REST endpoints under owlstack/v1/cloud for site info, post creation, image upload, and removal of Cloud-created posts. Token-authenticated; only a SHA-256 hash of the token is stored.
  • The plugin makes no outbound calls to OwlStack Cloud; the feature is inactive until a token is generated.
  • The Cloud page now sits directly after Settings in the Owlstack menu, instead of below every platform.
  • Settings gains a short, dismissible explanation of what OwlStack Cloud is and how it differs from publishing directly from this site.

1.0.1

  • Improved settings update feedback on the platform settings pages.
  • Hardened input sanitization in options handling and settings registration.
  • Added a third-party services section listing the terms and privacy policies of every supported platform.
  • Added platform documentation links and clearer setup guidance in settings.
  • Post body handling now falls back to the excerpt or trimmed content.
  • Telegram: platform-specific post transformations, plus placeholders and hints on the username fields.
  • Corrected author information in the plugin header.

1.0.0

  • Initial public release.
  • Support for 11 platforms: Telegram, X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Discord, Pinterest, Reddit, Slack, Tumblr, and WhatsApp.
