Switching between platforms, pasting content, and trying to keep a regular schedule takes more effort than it should.I\u2019ve been looking for ways to share more consistently on LinkedIn, and that\u2019s when I realized WordPress could help. With the right setup, I don\u2019t have to worry about missing posts or spending hours trying to stay on track.In this guide, I\u2019ll walk you through the two methods I\u2019ve used. One gives you more control if you like to plan everything out, and the other runs quietly in the background so you can stay consistent without extra effort.Why Schedule LinkedIn Posts in WordPress?Scheduling LinkedIn posts in WordPress helps you stay consistent and reach your audience at the right time. You can plan, publish, and promote posts directly from your WordPress dashboard without needing to switch platforms.This saves you from the hassle of logging in to LinkedIn separately or copying and pasting your content. It also makes it easier to hit those \u201cgolden hours\u201d when there\u2019s the most activity on LinkedIn\u2014even if you\u2019re busy working on your site.Here are some key benefits of scheduling LinkedIn posts in WordPress:Stay consistent \u2013 Keep your publishing flow steady without juggling multiple apps.Post at the best times \u2013 Share updates when your audience is most active, even if you\u2019re offline.Plan strategically \u2013 Align your LinkedIn posts with your WordPress content calendar so everything works toward your business goals.Reduce stress \u2013 Batch-create LinkedIn updates while writing your blog posts, instead of scrambling to post something at the last minute.Plus, this approach works for a wide range of WordPress websites. Here\u2019s a quick overview of how you might be able to benefit, based on the type of website you run:Website TypeIdeas for Scheduling LinkedIn PostsBusiness websitesSchedule company news, product launches, case studies, and industry insights.Online storesSchedule product spotlights, seasonal campaigns, and promotions.Nonprofit and community websitesAnnounce events, share success stories, and attract supporters.Portfolio websitesShare recent projects, client testimonials, or creative work.Blogs and content sitesConsistently promote new articles, evergreen posts, and roundup content.eLearning websitesPost online course resources, tips, and upcoming training schedules.The best part is that you can do all this right inside WordPress. You can either choose an all-in-one solution and manage multiple platforms from a single dashboard or automate posts directly from your site.Not sure which one\u2019s right for you? Don\u2019t worry \u2013 I\u2019ll walk you through both so you can see which approach matches your workflow.Which Method Should You Choose?The right tool for scheduling LinkedIn posts in WordPress depends on how you like to work:Method 1: ClickSocial. If you want an all-in-one solution, ClickSocial lets you schedule posts across multiple social platforms, including LinkedIn. You can also use Quick Share to automatically publish a LinkedIn post whenever you publish a new blog post.Method 2: Uncanny Automator. If you prefer a more hands-off approach, Uncanny Automator might be a better fit. Once you set up an automation recipe, it will automatically share your WordPress posts to LinkedIn the moment they\u2019re published.Now, I\u2019ll share two methods for scheduling LinkedIn posts in WordPress. Here\u2019s a quick overview of all the things I\u2019ll cover in this guide:Method 1: Schedule LinkedIn Posts Using ClickSocialClickSocial is the best WordPress social media scheduling plugin, especially for beginners and busy site owners who want everything in one place. With its visual calendar, you can easily plan, schedule, and adjust your posts as needed.This setup works especially well for bloggers and business owners who want a clear overview of their content across different social media platforms.On our partner brand websites, we use ClickSocial to streamline social scheduling, and it\u2019s been a reliable time-saver. You can read our complete ClickSocial review to see all the details.Step 1: Create Your ClickSocial Account & Get Your API KeyFirst, you\u2019ll need to create your ClickSocial account before installing the plugin.Head over to the ClickSocial website and click the \u2018Sign Up\u2019 button. Then, you can simply complete the registration process and make note of your login credentials.After you\u2019ve signed up, you\u2019ll want to get your API key so you can connect it to your WordPress site.In your ClickSocial dashboard, look for the \u2018Generate API Key\u2019 button and click it.This will take you to the API Keys page.Go ahead and click on the \u2018Add New\u2019 button.In the popup that appears, you\u2019ll need to enter a name for your API key. I recommend using something clear, like your website or project name, so you can easily remember what it\u2019s for later.With that done, you can click the \u2018Generate API Key\u2019 button.On the next screen, you\u2019ll see your unique API key.Be sure to copy this API key and store it in a safe place, like a password manager. For your security, ClickSocial will only show the full key this one time.Step 2: Install and Connect ClickSocial With Your WordPress WebsiteNow, you\u2019re ready to install and activate the ClickSocial WordPress plugin.You can navigate to your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins \u00bb Add New Plugin.In the search bar at the top, type \u201cClickSocial\u201d and press Enter.When you see the plugin appear in the results, click \u2018Install Now.\u2019Once the installation is finished, hit \u2018Activate.\u2019 For more detailed instructions, see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.Next, the ClickSocial setup wizard will ask you to link your WordPress site using your unique API key.If you accidentally navigate away, simply go to \u2018Onboarding\u2019 under the \u2018ClickSocial\u2019 tab. Enter your API key and click the \u2018Connect\u2019 button.Step 3: Connect Your LinkedIn Account to ClickSocialNow that your website is connected to ClickSocial, you can connect your LinkedIn account. From your WordPress dashboard, go to \u2018ClickSocial\u2019 to continue with the setup wizard. Under step 2, click the \u2018Add Account\u2019 button to get started.A popup will display the social media platforms you can connect, such as LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter).For this tutorial, let\u2019s select the LinkedIn option.This will open a new window where you can log in to LinkedIn and give ClickSocial permission to post for you.Click \u2018Allow\u2019 to grant these permissions. Remember, this is completely safe, and you can revoke access at any time within your LinkedIn settings.After authorizing the connection, you\u2019ll need to choose your timezone settings.You can either use ClickSocial\u2019s connected account timezone or stick with your WordPress site\u2019s timezone setting.Click \u2018Finish Setup\u2019 to complete the onboarding process and the LinkedIn integration.You should now see your LinkedIn account listed in ClickSocial \u00bb Settings in the \u2018Connected Accounts\u2019 tab under \u2018Workspace.\u2019Step 4: Set Up Your LinkedIn Post CalendarAfter connecting your LinkedIn account, ClickSocial will display your post calendar, so you can control your entire LinkedIn posting schedule.The calendar view shows you exactly when your posts will go live and helps you spot any gaps in your posting schedule. You can see scheduled posts, published posts, drafts, and even manage approval queues if you\u2019re working with a team.To set up your default posting times, click the \u2018Edit Schedule\u2019 button at the top of the calendar.This way, you don\u2019t have to pick a time every time you write a new blog post.From here, select the checkboxes on the left side to select which days of the week you want to post on LinkedIn.I typically choose Monday through Friday since that\u2019s when my audience is most active.Once you\u2019ve selected your posting days, use the dropdown menus on the right to set specific time slots for each day.You can add multiple time slots per day using the plus (+) icon or remove unwanted slots with the red trash icon.That said, I recommend starting with one post per day during business hours \u2013 around 9 AM or 1 PM works well for most industries. You can always adjust these times later based on your audience\u2019s engagement patterns.When you\u2019re happy with everything, go ahead and click \u2018Save Changes\u2019 to apply your new posting schedule.\ud83e\uddd1\u200d\ud83d\udcbb Pro Tip: Even with a set schedule, you can still choose custom times for individual posts. I\u2019ll show you how in the next step.Step 5: Schedule Your LinkedIn Posts in WordPressNow, you can start creating and scheduling your LinkedIn content. ClickSocial\u2019s post composer makes this simple, even if you\u2019re new to social media scheduling.To add a new post, you can click the plus (+) icon next to an available time slot on your calendar.In the ClickSocial post composer, simply type your LinkedIn post content directly into the text field.Below the text area, you\u2019ll see several icons for adding other elements to your post:Image \u2013 upload photos from your media library.Link \u2013 add a link to existing WordPress blog posts.Video \u2013 embed videos that support your message.For this tutorial, I\u2019ll add a link to an existing WordPress blog post, so I will click on the \u2018WordPress\u2019 icon.In the popup that appears, you\u2019ll choose a WordPress post to auto-schedule.Simply click on the post you want to add.You can choose more than one link if you need to. But I recommend selecting only one post to keep your content focused.After that, scroll down the popup and click the \u2018Add to Schedule\u2019 button.You should now see the link attached in the post composer.From here, you can switch to the \u2018Preview\u2019 tab to see exactly how your content will appear on LinkedIn.If anything needs changing, you can go back to the composer to fine-tune the text or add hashtags.When you\u2019re happy with your draft, click the \u2018Schedule\u2019 button at the bottom.If you\u2019d rather post at a custom time, just use the dropdowns next to \u2018Publish\u2019 to pick the date and time you want.In the popup that appears, go ahead and select your desired publishing date from the calendar.Then, click \u2018Schedule for custom time.\u2019From the dropdown, you can specify the exact hour and minute.After that, click the \u2018Add time to Schedule\u2019 button to confirm.This will bring you back to the post composer, where you can give your scheduled post another look. You can also switch to the \u2018Preview\u2019 tab to double-check everything.And when you\u2019re ready, you can hit the \u2018Schedule\u2019 button.And that\u2019s it! You can repeat this process for any blog posts you\u2019d like to schedule and share on LinkedIn.When you\u2019re finished, you\u2019ll see all your upcoming posts in the \u2018Scheduled\u2019 tab. Here, I have a blog post set for the default slot and another scheduled at a custom time.ClickSocial will automatically post your LinkedIn content at the time you\u2019ve set.Here\u2019s my demo scheduled LinkedIn post as an example:Step 6: (Optional) Quick-Share Your WordPress Post to LinkedInWant your new WordPress posts to go straight to LinkedIn? With ClickSocial, you can do that by setting up Quick Share.Instead of creating each LinkedIn post from scratch, Quick Share generates one for you as soon as you publish a blog post.To set it up, navigate to ClickSocial \u00bb Settings \u00bb Quick Share from your WordPress dashboard.Once inside, you can go ahead and toggle on \u2018Share from Gutenberg Editor.\u2019Next, you can choose what should happen when a blog post is published:Share immediately \u2013 publish to LinkedIn the moment your blog goes live.Schedule for the next available slot \u2013 fit the post into your existing posting calendar (you set this up in step 5).Add to Drafts \u2013 save it for review so you can edit before posting.For this tutorial, I\u2019ll select \u2018Share immediately\u2019 so my LinkedIn post goes live at the same time as my blog post.You can then scroll down to the \u2018Account\u2019 section.Here, click on your LinkedIn account\u2019s box, then once again on the \u2018Edit\u2019 button to open the post composer.In the popup, you can build a template with dynamic variables like post title, link, excerpt, and more.This ensures your LinkedIn post auto-generates based on your blog content.When everything looks good, don\u2019t forget to save your settings.Now, whenever you publish a post, you\u2019ll see the ClickSocial Share button in your WordPress content editor.Clicking it will open a preview of your LinkedIn post.From here, you can make final tweaks, like reviewing text, fixing formatting, or adding hashtags.Once everything looks good, you can hit \u2018Share Now\u2019 (or choose to schedule it for later).ClickSocial will then publish your post according to the settings you\u2019ve chosen. Here\u2019s an example of my automated LinkedIn post:Method 2: Publish LinkedIn Posts Using Uncanny AutomatorUncanny Automator is ideal if you\u2019d rather have your WordPress posts sent to LinkedIn automatically as soon as they\u2019re published. It works through \u201crecipes,\u201d which are automated workflows that trigger an action, like posting to LinkedIn.For more information, see our full Uncanny Automator review.Step 1: Install and Activate Uncanny AutomatorFirst, you need to install the Uncanny Automator plugin on your WordPress site. The plugin offers both free and pro versions, but the free version includes everything you need for basic LinkedIn automation.\ud83d\udcdd Note: While the free plugin is perfect for this task, Uncanny Automator Pro unlocks more advanced workflows. For example, you could add a 24-hour delay before sharing a post or only share posts from a specific category.To install the plugin, navigate to Plugins \u00bb Add New Plugins in your WordPress dashboard.Then, you can search for \u201cUncanny Automator\u201d in the plugin directory.Once you\u2019ve found it, click \u2018Install Now\u2019 and wait for the installation to complete, then click \u2018Activate\u2019 to enable the plugin. If you need help, please see our complete guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.After activation, you\u2019ll see a new Automator menu item in your WordPress dashboard. This is where you\u2019ll create and manage all your automated workflows.But first, let\u2019s set up your free Uncanny Automator account, since you won\u2019t be able to connect to LinkedIn without it.Let\u2019s head over to \u2018Automator\u2019 and click the \u2018Connect your free account!\u2019On the next screen, you\u2019ll see a registration form. Simply fill in the required details, and you\u2019ll be good to go.Step 2: Create a New Recipe for LinkedIn AutomationWith Uncanny Automator set up, you\u2019re ready to create your first automation recipe.In your WordPress dashboard, go to Automator \u00bb Add new recipe.A popup will appear asking what type of recipe you\u2019d like to create.Here, you\u2019ll want to select \u2018Logged-in users\u2019 from the options.This makes sure the automation only runs when you or another trusted user publishes a post. It prevents accidental triggers from guest contributors or other user actions.Next, you\u2019ll need to give your recipe a descriptive name so it\u2019s easy to recognize later.Something like \u201cShare New WordPress Blog Posts to LinkedIn\u201d or \u201cLinkedIn Automation\u201d works well, since it reminds you exactly what the recipe does.Plus, having a clear naming system really helps once you start creating more recipes for different platforms or content types.With that done, you can click \u2018Save\u2019 to proceed to the recipe configuration screen.Step 3: Configure Your Automation TriggerA trigger is what tells Uncanny Automator when to run your recipe. In this case, you\u2019ll want it to fire whenever you publish a new blog post on your WordPress site.In the Trigger section, you\u2019ll see a list of available integrations. Go ahead and choose \u2018WordPress\u2019 since the automation is based on WordPress activity.In the dropdown menu that appears, let\u2019s select \u2018A user publishes a post.\u2019This specific trigger ensures your recipe only runs when content goes from draft to published status.Uncanny Automator will then prompt you to select which post type should trigger the automation. If you only want to share regular blog posts, select \u2018Post\u2019 from the dropdown menu.But if you also publish other content types like case studies or portfolios that you\u2019d like to share on LinkedIn, select \u2018Any post type\u2019 instead. This gives you more flexibility as your content strategy grows.Once you\u2019ve configured your trigger settings, don\u2019t forget to click \u2018Save.\u2019Step 4: Configure Your LinkedIn Auto-Share ActionNow, you\u2019re ready to set up LinkedIn auto-sharing. In this step, you\u2019ll tell Uncanny Automator what should happen each time a post is published.In the \u2018Actions\u2019 section, click \u2018Add action\u2019 to get started.This will open the list of available integrations.You can scroll down and select \u2018LinkedIn\u2019 from the menu.If this is your first time connecting LinkedIn to Uncanny Automator, you\u2019ll see a \u2018Connect account\u2019 button in the popup that appears.Go ahead and click it.LinkedIn will then ask you to confirm that Uncanny Automator can post for you.Click \u2018Allow\u2019 to grant the necessary permissions. This process is completely secure, and you can always manage or revoke this access from your LinkedIn account settings.After connecting your LinkedIn account, Uncanny Automator will take you to the recipe editor.From here, let\u2019s select \u2018Publish a post with an image to a LinkedIn page\u2019 from the action dropdown. This way, each LinkedIn post will have a featured image to help make it stand out.You can then tell Uncanny Automator which image to use for your LinkedIn post. The best way to do this is to use the post\u2019s featured image, so every new article will have its own unique visual.To set this up, click the asterisk (*) button next to the \u2018Image URL\u2019 field. This will open a list of dynamic tokens. Search for \u2018Post Featured Image URL\u2019 and select it.Now, your post\u2019s featured image will be automatically included in your LinkedIn post.\ud83e\uddd1\u200d\ud83d\udcbb Pro Tip: For the best results on LinkedIn, make sure your featured images are at least 1200 x 627 pixels. This ensures your image looks sharp and professional in the feed. For more social media image sizes, see our\u00a0complete social media cheat sheet.Alternatively, if you want every post to use the same default featured image, you can paste a specific image URL from your Media Library into this field instead of using a token.No worries if you don\u2019t know the URL because you can grab it from your Media Library.All you have to do is open your WordPress media library in a new tab, click on the image you want to add, and copy the value from the \u2018File URL\u2019 field.After setting the image, you can create a template for your post\u2019s text in the \u2018Content\u2019 field. You can use a mix of your own words and dynamic tokens, which automatically pull information from your WordPress post.To add tokens, click the asterisk (*) button and search for the one you need. For example, you might want to look for \u2018Post Title\u2019 and \u2018Post URL\u2019 and select them as your token.Here is a simple template you can use: \u201cNew on the Blog: {Post Title} We\u2019ve just published a fresh article packed with tips you won\u2019t want to miss! \ud83d\ude80 Read it here: {Post URL}.\u201dIf you want, you can add some hashtags, like WordPress #LinkedInTips. But be sure they are suitable for all of your automated LinkedIn posts.This way, your LinkedIn post will automatically include your post title and link, along with hashtags if you add them.With that done, you can click \u2018Save\u2019 to store your LinkedIn auto-share action settings.Step 5: Activate Your LinkedIn Automation RecipeAt this point, your recipe is complete and ready to automatically share your blog posts on LinkedIn.But in the recipe editor, you\u2019ll notice the switches are set to \u2018Draft.\u2019 That just means the automation is created but not active yet.You can go ahead and switch all the toggles from \u2018Draft\u2019 to \u2018Live.\u2019That\u2019s it! Your recipe now runs in the background, taking care of LinkedIn whenever you publish new content.Here\u2019s what my demo automated LinkedIn post looks like:You can view all your active recipes by going to Automator \u00bb All Recipes in your WordPress dashboard.From there, you can pause or update them anytime.Bonus Tip: Grow LinkedIn Followers and Engagement with GiveawaysRunning giveaways can also be a great way to grow your LinkedIn audience and boost engagement on your posts.People love the chance to win something for free.

Here are answers to some of the most common questions I get about scheduling LinkedIn posts in WordPress.How do I automatically post from WordPress to LinkedIn?You have two main options for automatically posting from WordPress to LinkedIn:ClickSocial \u2013 Best if you want scheduling flexibility for LinkedIn and other social platforms.Uncanny Automator \u2013 Best if you prefer instant sharing directly from WordPress.Both integrate smoothly with LinkedIn once your account is connected, giving you two simple ways to streamline your workflow.How can I keep up with posting daily on social media?The trick is batching and scheduling. Instead of logging in every day, set aside one block of time each week to write and schedule your LinkedIn posts. With the right plugin, you can line up a whole week\u2019s worth of content and let WordPress handle the publishing.Can I use the same content across multiple platforms?Yes, but with a twist. You can repurpose your WordPress blog post for LinkedIn, X (Twitter), or Facebook. Just make sure to adjust the tone, hashtags, or image size for each platform so your content feels native everywhere.What is the best post scheduler plugin for WordPress?The best social media scheduling plugin really depends on your workflow. If you want an all-in-one, beginner-friendly tool that lets you plan and schedule posts across multiple platforms without leaving WordPress, ClickSocial is the way to go.But if you\u2019d rather automate things so your new blog posts go straight to LinkedIn, Uncanny Automator is the perfect \u2018set it and forget it\u2019 solution.Can you add a LinkedIn feed to a WordPress site?Yes, you can, but LinkedIn\u2019s options are more limited than those of other social platforms. LinkedIn\u2019s official tools don\u2019t easily allow for dynamic, multi-post feeds like you can create for Instagram or Facebook.The most reliable method is to manually embed individual posts by copying the embed code for a specific post directly from LinkedIn and pasting it into your WordPress post or page.Keep Learning: Social Media and WordPress TipsI hope this guide has helped you schedule LinkedIn posts in WordPress.
