Jetpack's Publicize Alternative

Hi guys,

I began installing Ultimate Facebook to get started on syndicating my blog out to FB but then I realized LinkedIn would also need a feed. It wasn’t long until I found Publicize. However, I don’t really want to use Jetpack, it seems bloated.

What are non-jetpack alternatives to that feature?

    Hello Mike D,

    I hope you are well today. Thank you for your question.

    Doing some digging around, I found a couple plugins that will enable you to publish to LinkedIn.

    LinkedIn Auto Publish

    Social Media Auto Publish

    I have no personal experience with either of those products, but I did notice that LinkedIn Auto Publish has not been updated in a while, and has not been confirmed to be compatible with the latest version of WordPress. Use with caution.

    An alternative you may want to consider is IFTTT. IFTTT allows you to set up recipes where you give it a RSS feed and it will allow you to post to LinkedIn once you’ve connected that channel. I have been using that platform for well over a year and find it to be a good solution for situations like yours.

    Let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help! :slight_smile:

    Best regards,

    James Morris
