How to post a newly created post manually

    Hi. We want to test social engine in a manual approach. My expectation is that someone creates a post, goes to the dashboard and makes a suitable description for Twitter, hashtags, one to four pictures for this post, including a link to the post. Ideally the ‘post excerpt’ would be taken as the default for the twitter description, and at least the featured image would be taken for this twitter post.

    I can’t see the newly created post in the dashboard. Either my expectation is wrong, my settings or my behaviour are wrong.

    Settings: The twitter service seems to be ok. Auto-Schedule Posts is set do default/select and there is no schedule.

    hi the drop down list auto+schedule posts does not allow me to select the option disable. in that case a message pops up could not update options ?

    Hi,

    Indeed, it doesn’t really work like this. Social Engine is not really linked to your articles or anything. You need to click on Create New in the Social Engine Dashboard, and add stuff, as if you were in another online service that does the same thing.

    If can create the Social Posts automatically for you too based on your articles, but you’ll need to check the options, set the default times. You can also use the “Revive” button.

    Yes, a “Create Social Post” button should be added in the Post Editor, or maybe in the Posts List, and I will work on this for the next version ??
