Devenia Autoposter for LinkedIn

Opis

Stop boring your LinkedIn followers with the same image over and over.

Most auto-posters grab your featured image and call it a day. After a few posts, your followers scroll right past – banner blindness kicks in.

This plugin fixes that with automatic image rotation. Upload a gallery of images, and each post uses the next one in sequence. Your LinkedIn feed stays visually fresh, and your posts get noticed.

Why This Plugin Exists

We tried every LinkedIn plugin out there. They all had problems:

  • Bloated – Packed with upsells, “pro” features, and settings you'll never use
  • Broken – Using scraping or fake logins that LinkedIn blocks
  • Dumb – Posting with external links (which LinkedIn's algorithm buries)

So we built something better.

Key Features

Image Gallery Rotation
Upload multiple images and they rotate automatically with each post. No more banner blindness. Your feed stays fresh, engagement stays high.

Algorithm-Optimized Posts
LinkedIn tends to deprioritize posts with external links. This plugin posts image-only content. Add your link in the first comment instead (a common strategy among LinkedIn creators).

Full Excerpt Support
Most plugins cut your text at 30-150 words. We use LinkedIn's full 3000 character limit (~450 words). Your message actually gets delivered.

Post Everywhere at Once
Personal profile, company page, or both simultaneously. One publish, multiple destinations.

Actually Works
Uses LinkedIn's official API. No scraping, no fake logins, no getting blocked. Just reliable posting, every time.

Zero Bloat
No upsells. No “pro” version. No tracking. No bloat. Just a plugin that does what it says.

How It Works

  1. Connect to LinkedIn (one-time setup with your own API credentials)
  2. Configure your image gallery and post template
  3. Publish posts as normal – they automatically appear on LinkedIn

That's it. No daily tokens to refresh, no manual sharing, no forgetting to post.

Perfect For

  • Bloggers who want their posts on LinkedIn without manual work
  • Businesses posting to company pages automatically
  • Marketers who understand LinkedIn's algorithm (image-only > links)
  • Anyone tired of bloated social plugins

What You Need

  • A LinkedIn account
  • A LinkedIn Developer App (free, takes 5 minutes to create)
  • 60 seconds to connect

External Services:

This plugin connects to LinkedIn's API to share your posts. When you publish:

  • Your post title, excerpt, and image are sent to LinkedIn's servers
  • Data is transmitted via LinkedIn's official REST API (api.linkedin.com)
  • Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 tokens stored in your WordPress database

By using this plugin, you agree to LinkedIn's:
* Terms of Service
* Privacy Policy
* API Terms of Use

No data is sent anywhere else. We don't collect or store any of your data.

Instalacija

  1. Upload the devenia-autoposter-for-linkedin folder to /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu
  3. Go to Settings > Autoposter for LinkedIn

Creating a LinkedIn App – Personal Profile (5 minutes):

  1. Go to LinkedIn Developer Portal
  2. Click “Create App”
  3. Fill in the required information

  5. In the Auth tab, copy your Client ID and Client Secret

Adding Company Page Posting (requires extra step):

To also post to a LinkedIn Company Page:

  1. Complete the personal profile setup above first
  2. In the LinkedIn Developer Portal, go to your app's Products tab
  3. Request access to “Advertising API” (it's free)
  4. Wait for LinkedIn approval (usually 1-3 days)
  5. Once approved, reconnect in the plugin settings
  6. Your admin company pages will now appear in the settings

Note: You must be an admin of the company page you want to post to.

ČPP

Why do I need my own LinkedIn App?

LinkedIn requires it. But it's free, takes 5 minutes, and means your data stays yours – not routed through someone else's server.

Why do I need to reconnect every 60 days?

LinkedIn's security policy. All apps must re-authenticate every 60 days. The plugin warns you before expiration (on-screen + email) so you never miss a post.

Can I share to a Company Page?

Yes! Personal profile, company page, or both at once. For company pages, you need to be an admin and request the Advertising API from LinkedIn (free, takes a few days).

Why image-only posts? Where's my link?

LinkedIn's algorithm tends to deprioritize posts with external links. Image-only posts often perform better. Add your link as the first comment instead – a common strategy among LinkedIn creators.

How does image rotation work?

Upload multiple images to the gallery. Each post uses the next image in sequence. Post 1 gets image 1, post 2 gets image 2, etc. When it reaches the end, it loops back. Your feed never looks repetitive.

Will this share old posts?

No. Only new posts when they're first published. Updating an existing post won't re-share it.

What if my post has no image?

The plugin looks for: Featured image First image in content Gallery image Default image Site logo. Something always gets posted.
