Only 5 support threads exist in total with 4 resolved, giving an 80% resolution rate but a very thin sample that makes long-term responsiveness hard to judge.

What It Does

WP LinkedIn Auto Publish connects your WordPress site to LinkedIn and automatically pushes new posts, custom post types, and pages to your personal profile and/or company pages the moment you publish. It removes the manual step of copying links, writing a status update, and switching tabs to share on LinkedIn. Configuration is done through a settings panel where you authorise a LinkedIn account and choose which content types to mirror.

Who It's For

This plugin is a good fit for solo creators, consultants, agencies, and small businesses that publish regularly on WordPress and want a steady drip of content appearing on LinkedIn without remembering to share each post. It works well for B2B blogs, thought leadership sites, corporate news pages, and HR or recruitment blogs where LinkedIn is the primary social channel. If LinkedIn is not your main distribution platform, the value drops quickly.

Who Should Skip It

If you publish rarely, post on multiple social networks beyond LinkedIn, or need scheduling, link previews, or analytics, this plugin is too narrow and you will be better served by a broader tool like WP to Buffer. Anyone running a high volume news site that needs per-post customization on LinkedIn will also find the feature set too thin.

The Bottom Line

WP LinkedIn Auto Publish is a focused, well-rated tool that does one specific job and does it on a recent WordPress version, earning an overall quality score of 79.38 out of 100. Its small install base and tiny support history mean you should not expect a large community to fall back on if something breaks, and the feature set is intentionally narrow. It is worth installing if LinkedIn is genuinely your main channel and you want a set-and-forget mirror of your posts.

Pick this when you need to publish to several networks at once with scheduling and Buffer's queueing, not just LinkedIn.

OG - Better Share on Social Media 82/100

Choose this if your priority is generating clean Open Graph previews for manual sharing rather than automating posts to LinkedIn.

miniOrange Social Login and Register (Discord, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) 79/100

Use this instead when you want visitors to sign in to WordPress with their LinkedIn account, not when you want to publish to LinkedIn.

Social Sharing (by Danny) 77/100

Pick this lightweight option if you only need share buttons on posts and have no interest in auto-publishing.

Tagembed Social Feeds Widget 77/100

Choose this when you want to embed LinkedIn feeds or other social walls into your site rather than push content out to LinkedIn.
