Professional Design Templates Create stunning, professional social media posts using the Webixso image editor on webixso.com. Choose from ready-to-use templates or build a design from scratch. Dynamic Placeholders Mark parts of your design as dynamic so they sync with your WordPress content automatically: Title placeholder — Pulls the post title from your site. Set a character limit in the design and longer titles will be truncated with an ellipsis automatically. Image placeholder — Merges your uploaded design dimensions with the image from your site. If your image is square the result is square; if it is rectangular, it stays rectangular. Your original aspect ratio is always preserved. How to Use Designs 1. Create or edit a design template in the Webixso editor on webixso.com. 2. Mark your text and image elements for automation using the right-hand panel. 3. Save the design. 4. In your WordPress plugin, open the account settings and toggle on Share with design. 5. Select your saved design and hit save. From that point on, every post shared through that account will automatically feature your professional layout. WooCommerce Social Media Auto Post Turn every new WooCommerce product into an Instagram post, Facebook post, Pinterest pin, LinkedIn update, or X/Twitter tweet — automatically. Webixso is a complete WooCommerce social media plugin and WooCommerce marketing solution that detects your store and pushes product listings straight to the social networks that drive the most traffic and sales. Why store owners use Webixso for WooCommerce: Auto share WooCommerce products the moment they are published, updated, or restocked. Promote WooCommerce sales by auto posting discounted items with the sale price, regular price, and discount percentage pre-calculated. Schedule WooCommerce posts using account-level daily limits and the built-in automation runner so large catalogs are shared without flooding your followers. Share WooCommerce products to Instagram and Facebook with product images, price, and SKU rendered on a branded design template. Save hours of manual product marketing — every new SKU becomes a finished social post without opening a second app. Dynamic product variables for design templates When a product is shared with a design template, Webixso automatically populates the template with real product data from your store: product_name — product title. product_description — short description (falls back to long description). price — current selling price (no trailing zero decimals). regular_price — original crossed-out price. sale_price — active sale price. discount — calculated discount percentage (e.g. %25). stock — stock status text or available quantity. sku — product SKU. category — product category names from product_cat. brand — brand name when a WooCommerce brands plugin is active (WooCommerce Brands, Perfect Brands, YITH). image — featured product image. Build the design once in the Webixso editor, map those variables to your layout, and every product you publish becomes a ready-to-post sales banner. Smart defaults for ecommerce Works with simple products, variable products, and any custom WooCommerce product type. Pulls values through WooCommerce APIs (wc_get_product, wc_price, wc_get_price_decimals) so currency, decimal separator, and tax settings follow your store configuration. Automatically maps the {categories} and {tags} caption placeholders to product_cat and product_tag, so your hashtags and breadcrumbs always reflect the right taxonomies. Fully filterable via webixso_design_variables for advanced use cases (custom fields, ACF, additional attributes). Custom Post Type Support Webixso is not locked to blog posts. Out of the box it supports every public post type registered on your site — WooCommerce products, portfolio items, events, courses, recipes, real estate listings, you name it. If a post type is public and has a UI, Webixso can share it. The share sidebar and Share Again button appear on every supported post type editor screen. Automation rules (auto post, schedule, daily limit) run for all supported post types. Category and tag template placeholders use the right taxonomy per post type (for example product_cat/product_tag on WooCommerce products). You can disable Webixso on specific post types from the plugin settings if you only want to share some of them. How to exclude a post type from Webixso Go to Webixso → Settings → General. Enable the Exclude specific post types toggle. Select the post types you want to skip from the dropdown — they appear as removable chips. Save. Webixso will now ignore those post types everywhere (sidebar, automation, dashboard listings). Leave the toggle off to keep every public post type supported, which is the default. Facebook Link Sharing Mode Facebook accounts can be configured to share posts either as image posts (the default, with or without a design) or as native link posts with a rich link preview card generated by Facebook. Link sharing is perfect for publishers and news sites that want the preview image pulled from Open Graph metadata and the clean “article + description” layout. Switch between Image sharing and Link sharing per Facebook account under the account’s settings. When link sharing is active, Webixso sends the post URL as a native link, strips duplicate URLs from the caption, and skips the featured image requirement. Share from the WordPress Editor Pick connected social media accounts directly from the post editor sidebar. Select one or multiple profiles, then publish your WordPress post — it gets shared instantly. When a share succeeds, you receive a clear notification confirming it reached your networks. Need to share a post again? Use the Share Again button right from the sidebar. Smart Automation Rules Configure automatic sharing rules so your content goes out without manual effort: Enable auto posting per account so new posts are shared the moment they go live. Filter by categories and tags to ensure only relevant content reaches each social profile. Set daily limits to control posting frequency and prevent over-posting. Configure server cron for accounts with daily limits to ensure reliable, scheduled delivery. How to Set Up Auto Posting Go to Webixso → Accounts in your WordPress admin. Click the gear icon on the account you want to automate. Toggle on Auto Posting. Optionally set category/tag filters and a daily posting limit. If you set a daily limit greater than 0, configure a server cron as described in the settings page. Save your settings. New posts matching your rules will be shared automatically. How to Filter Posts by Category or Tag Only publish certain posts to specific social media accounts: Open the account settings (gear icon) for the desired profile. Select which categories or tags must be present for auto posting. Save your settings. Now only posts matching your criteria will be auto posted to that account. How to Stop Auto Posting for Individual Posts Override automatic posting on a per-post basis: Edit any WordPress post. In the Webixso sidebar panel, deselect the accounts you do not want to share to. Publish or update the post. This gives you complete control over which posts get shared to social media. Generous Free Plan Webixso includes a free starter plan with up to 15 shared posts per month. Connect unlimited accounts, try design templates, and prove the workflow before you scale. We are working hard to bring even more features to the table — let us know what you would like to see next.
