Frequently asked questions
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?
Telegram: Create a bot via @BotFather and get your Bot API Token. Twitter/X: Create an app at developer.twitter.com and generate your API keys. Facebook: Create an app at developers.facebook.com, create a Page, and generate a Page Access Token. Instagram: Use the same Facebook app and connect your Instagram Business account. LinkedIn: Create an app at linkedin.com/developers and request the necessary permissions. Discord: Create a webhook in your Discord server’s channel settings. Pinterest: Create an app at developers.pinterest.com. Reddit: Create an app at reddit.com/prefs/apps. Slack…
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…
Changelog
Link fix. Documentation and site links now point to owlstack.app; the old links no longer resolve for visitors.
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/cloudfor 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.
