RSS Feeds

By default, any posts coming from an RSS feed are "link posts."

A link post can only have one picture. 

If you add image, it'll turn the link post into an image post so you'll need to add the link to the blog entry manually. 

If you add text, it will remain a link post but you won't see the text in the preview. You need to Edit and Approve to see the preview correctly. 

Click checkbox - it'll go straight to library and start queuing right away. 

Getting the Right Picture to Display

In the WordPress dashboard, Yeost: Settings>Social Sharing. Enable Open Graph data.
Enabling Open Graph data in Yeost turns on the og image (which is the featured image) for your blog. Once this is enabled, in the source code for the blog entry, you should see og:image. 




You can verify the image by copying and pasting the URL after "og:image: in a new browser tab to view the image. 

Where Do Social Media Sites Get the Pictures? 

RecurPost sends image to LI and Insta. FB and TW pull image directly from web site based on the link in the post. 

Working with the Queue

Dashboard>Queue. Every morning at 8am UTC they copy the posts from the library to the queue. 

In the queue, you can choose to only view posts that have been copied to the queue by clicking the slider icon on the upper right and disabling "Show Posts from Library Calendar".





Editing from the queue: Any post you edit that's already in the queue will only change the one that you edit

If you edit a post that's "from library calendar" , it will change it in the library and therefore for all the posts

Post Default Image

Adding a "featured image" to the blog post will make that image the post's image when RecurPost posts the blog post to social media. To edit the post's featured image:
