AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Post Forwarder is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Post category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 1 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Post Forwarder works
Show full descriptionShow less
Post Forwarder lets you syndicate content from one WordPress site to any combination of destinations with a single click at publish time — or schedule it ahead with the built-in calendar. Configure as many portals as you need and choose per-post which ones receive each article.
Supported Destinations
WordPress sites — forwards via the REST API with taxonomy mapping, featured image upload, ACF field support, and duplicate prevention. One-click authorization using WordPress Application Passwords, or enter credentials manually.
LinkedIn — posts as a link-share article card with your excerpt, featured image thumbnail, and hashtags auto-generated from your WordPress post tags. Supports personal profiles and organisation pages. One-click connect — no configuration required.
X (Twitter) — posts the title and post URL as a tweet; the featured image attaches directly on paid API tiers or appears as a link preview card. Connect with your own free X developer app.
Plan ahead with the content calendar
Post Forwarder includes a built-in weekly calendar so you can do more than fire-and-forget on publish. Schedule posts to go out to your connected channels at the time that suits you, see everything that’s queued at a glance, and manage upcoming posts across all your WordPress sites, LinkedIn, and X from one screen. Great for keeping a steady publishing rhythm without babysitting the clock.
WordPress forwarding highlights
One-click “Save & Connect with WordPress” using the built-in Application Password flow.
Taxonomy mapping with automatic fallback to tags.
Featured image, ACF fields, and custom post types are carried across.
Duplicate prevention so the same post is never forwarded twice.
LinkedIn highlights
Zero-configuration connect — click “Connect with LinkedIn” and authorize in one step.
Featured image is uploaded directly to LinkedIn and shown as the article thumbnail.
WordPress post tags become LinkedIn hashtags automatically (the tag “my topic” becomes #MyTopic).
Supports personal profiles and organisation pages.
Token expiry is shown in settings, with a reconnect prompt before it lapses.
Compatibility
Tested with WordPress 7.0 and PHP 8.3.
Platform Requirements & Limitations WordPress
The destination site must run WordPress 5.6+ with the REST API enabled (default).
The connecting user must have at least the Editor role on the destination site.
Use “Save & Connect with WordPress” for one-click Application Password authorization, or enter a username and Application Password manually.
No extra configuration required — one-click connect handles sign-in.
LinkedIn access tokens expire after 60 days. The plugin shows the expiry date and prompts you to reconnect.
For organisation page posts set the Author URN to urn:li:organization:YOUR_ORG_ID. You’ll also need the Community Management API product approved on the LinkedIn app (not needed for personal profile posts).
LinkedIn needs the post URL to be publicly reachable to show an article card. Posts from localhost or .local/.test domains fall back to image-only or text+URL mode.
X (Twitter) You need a free X developer account to post tweets. X limits write access per developer app, so each plugin user connects their own app.
Step 1 — Create an X developer account (one-time)
Go to developer.x.com and sign in with your X account.
Click Sign up and agree to the terms — your developer account is created instantly.
Step 2 — Create an app and get credentials
In the Developer Portal go to Apps and click Create App.
Give it any name (e.g. “My Post Forwarder”).
Open the app, click Keys & Tokens then User authentication settings then Set up.
Set:
App permissions: Read and write
Type of App: Web App, Automated App or Bot
Callback URI: the callback URL shown in the plugin’s X portal settings
Website URL: your site URL
Click Save and copy the Client ID and Client Secret (the secret is shown only once).
Step 3 — Connect in the plugin
In Post Forwarder -> Settings -> Connection Configuration, add an X portal.
Enter the Client ID and Client Secret you copied.
Click Save Portals, then click Save & Connect with X.
Authorize the app on X and you are redirected back with a “Connected” badge.
Notes:
* The free tier allows 1,500 tweet writes per month. Each user’s app has its own separate quota.
* X access tokens are long-lived and refreshed automatically before expiry.
* Featured images on the free tier appear as link preview cards (public sites only), not as direct attachments. The X Basic plan enables direct image upload.
External Services Post Forwarder only sends data when you choose to connect an account or forward a post — nothing is sent in the background.
To publish to LinkedIn or X (Twitter), the plugin uses a small open-source connection helper to handle the secure sign-in step, then sends the post you’re forwarding (such as its title, link, and image) to the network you connected. WordPress-to-WordPress forwarding talks only to the site you set up.
You stay in control: connect or disconnect any destination at any time, and advanced users can self-host the connection helper. Each network’s handling of the content you send is governed by its own terms:
LinkedIn — Terms · Privacy
X (Twitter) — Terms · Privacy
Technical Notes Security:
* OAuth tokens are stored in the WordPress database. Enable at-rest encryption on your host for best protection.
* Sensitive fields (access tokens, client secrets, passwords) are never echoed back to the browser — submitting a blank field preserves the saved value.
* All form inputs are sanitized and validated; WordPress nonces protect all forms and OAuth callbacks.
Tested with:
* WordPress 7.0
* PHP 8.3
Minimum Requirements:
* WordPress 5.6+
* PHP 7.4+
