WordPress Posts to Facebook Groups

Hello guys!

Since 22 of April, Meta removed the possibility to connect apps to Facebook Groups (you can check here the update: https://www.facebook.com/help/261149227954100)

I was using the plugin 'Revive Old Posts' to auto post my articles on my Facebook groups (since I have +50) and obviously stopped working.

Someone with the same problem find a way to overcome this barrier?

Thanks.

Method 1: Using IFTTT (If This Then That)​

1. Create an IFTTT Account:
   • Go to https://ifttt.com/ and sign up or log into your account.
2. Connect WordPress and Facebook:
   • Click on your profile icon and select "Create" to start making a new Applet.
   • Click on "+ This" and search for WordPress as the trigger service.
   • Choose "New post" as the trigger event and connect your WordPress account by following the prompts.
3. Set Up Facebook Groups as the Action:
   • Click on "+ That" and search for Facebook Groups as the action service.
   • Select "Post a link" or a similar action that suits your needs.
   • Connect your Facebook account and authorize IFTTT to access your groups.
4. Customize the Post Settings:
   • Configure how you want the WordPress post to appear in your Facebook group (e.g., title, excerpt, link).
   • Save the action and turn on the Applet.
5. Test and Monitor:
   • Create a test post in WordPress to ensure it triggers the action correctly and appears in your Facebook group.

Method 2: Using Plugins (like Jetpack or SNAP)​

1. Install and Configure a Plugin:
   • Install a plugin like Jetpack or Social Networks Auto-Poster (SNAP) on your WordPress site.
   • Activate the plugin and go through the setup process, connecting it to your Facebook account and selecting the groups you want to post to.
2. Configure Posting Options:
   • In the plugin settings, specify how you want posts to be shared (e.g., automatically upon publishing, at specific times).
   • Customize the format of posts if the plugin allows.
3. Testing:
   • Publish a test post on WordPress to verify that it correctly posts to your selected Facebook groups.

Method 3: Using Zapier​

1. Create a Zap:
   • Sign up or log into https://zapier.com/.
   • Create a new Zap and set WordPress as the trigger app.
   • Choose "New Post" as the trigger event and connect your WordPress account.
2. Set Up Facebook Groups as the Action:
   • Choose Facebook Groups as the action app.
   • Select "Create Post" or similar depending on the Zapier options.
   • Connect your Facebook account and authorize Zapier to access your groups.
3. Map Fields and Customize:
   • Map WordPress post fields (title, content, URL) to the appropriate fields in Facebook.
   • Customize the message and other settings as needed.
4. Test and Enable:
   • Test the Zap with a sample post from WordPress to ensure everything is set up correctly.
   • Once tested, enable the Zap to automate the process.

Considerations:​

• Permissions: Ensure that your Facebook account has sufficient permissions to post to the desired groups.
• Automation Limits: Some methods might have limits on how frequently posts can be shared or the number of groups that can be targeted.
• Formatting: Check how posts appear in Facebook groups to ensure they are presented as you intend.
