## Description

FormatoCD Publish with Buffer is a powerful, lightweight plugin that automates the
publishing of your WordPress posts to your social media channels using the modern
Buffer GraphQL API.

Stop copying and pasting links! With this plugin, you can easily share your content
across multiple social networks as soon as you hit “Publish”, or schedule them to
be added to your Buffer queue.

#### 🚀 Features

 * **Automatic Publishing:** Automatically sends your WordPress posts to Buffer 
   the moment they are published.
 * **Scheduled Posts Support:** Works seamlessly with native WordPress scheduled
   posts (`publish_future_post`).
 * **Multiple Publishing Modes:** Choose between Share Now, Add to Queue, or Custom
   Scheduled.
 * **Customizable Message Templates:** Create your own message format using dynamic
   variables like `{title}`, `{url}`, `{author}`, and more.
 * **Smart Hashtags:** Automatically converts your WordPress tags into #hashtags
   for social media.
 * **Category Filtering:** Restrict automatic Buffer posting only to posts belonging
   to a specific category.
 * **Featured Image Support:** Automatically attaches the post’s featured image 
   to the Buffer publication.
 * **Duplicate Prevention:** Internally tracks when a post has already been shared
   to Buffer to avoid duplicate submissions upon post updates.
 * **Translation Ready (i18n):** Fully prepared for translation. English and Spanish(`
   es_ES`) languages are included by default.

### External Services

This plugin connects to the third-party Buffer GraphQL API (https://api.buffer.com)
to automatically publish or schedule your social media posts.

Data is sent to Buffer ONLY when a WordPress post is published (or automatically
published via WordPress cron) and the user has actively checked the “Send to Buffer
on publish” option.

The specific data sent to the Buffer API includes:
 * Post Title * Post URL * Post
Excerpt * Author Display Name * Post Categories and Tags (formatted as #hashtags)*
Featured Image URL

This service is provided by Buffer. By using this plugin, you agree to their legal
terms:

## Installation

 1. Upload the `formatocd-publish-with-buffer` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to **Settings > Publish with Buffer** to configure your API Token and 
    Channels.
 4. Go to any Post and look for the “Publish with Buffer” meta box in the sidebar to

## FAQ

### Where do I get my Buffer API Token?

You need to create a custom app in the Buffer Developer Portal to generate your 
personal access token. Note that this uses the new Buffer GraphQL API.

### How do I find my Channel IDs?

You can find your Channel IDs by querying the Buffer GraphQL API or by looking at
the URL in your Buffer dashboard when viewing a specific channel.

### Does it support scheduled posts?

Yes! If you schedule a post in WordPress to be published next week, the plugin will
wait and automatically send it to Buffer at the exact moment WordPress publishes
it.
