MKM Digital Social Publisher Bridge to Buffer allows you to connect your WordPress site directly to Buffer without any intermediaries, enabling you to publish updates to your social media channels automatically or manually.

Features:
* Direct Integration: Connects directly with the Buffer API.
* Post Types Support: Works out of the box with standard WordPress posts, custom post types (such as event management plugins like FAT Event), and WooCommerce products.
* Auto-publish: Automatically share your content to social channels when a post is saved or published.
* Publishing Controls: Choose between “Share Now” or “Add to Queue”.
* Custom Templates: Custom message formatting using dynamic tags.
* Freemius Integration: Easy license management and opt-in updates.

Note on Buffer.com Free Account:
With a free Buffer.com account, you can connect up to 3 social channels. Our plugin allows you to bypass Buffer’s queue management by publishing immediately (“Share Now” or scheduled WordPress posts when they go live), or you can choose to let Buffer handle the schedule by selecting “Add to Queue”.

Note on Upgrading to Premium:
The Premium version of this plugin is completely standalone. Once you upgrade to Premium, you can safely deactivate and delete the Free version of the plugin. Keeping both installed or active at the same time is not required and may cause conflicts.

Want to unlock the full power of your social media automation? Upgrade to the Premium version directly inside the plugin or via our website!

Premium Features:
* Unlimited Target Channels: Connect and share to all your connected social channels simultaneously (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile) with no channel limits.
* WooCommerce Gallery Slide & Carousel Support: Automatically shares WooCommerce product extra gallery images as beautiful carousels/slideshows on platforms that support them (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn).
* Interactive Real-Time Post Previews: See exactly how your post will look on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google Business before publishing, complete with image sliders for carousels!
* Advanced Analytics & Performance Dashboard: Track reach, clicks, likes, comments, and shares over time. Includes an interactive multi-line chart broken down by channel profile and a detailed list of individual social post performance.
* Smart Image Optimizations: Automatically handles WebP/AVIF to JPG/PNG fallback conversions to ensure your social shares never fail because of file format limits.
