You can automatically share WordPress posts to a Facebook Page using a social sharing plugin like Jetpack Social. Once connected, the plugin can publish updates to your Facebook Page whenever you publish new blog posts.
This saves time, keeps your social media audience informed, and helps bring visitors back to your website.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to connect WordPress to Facebook, set up automatic sharing with Jetpack Social, and compare alternative tools for managing your posts.
How to automatically share WordPress posts to Facebook with Jetpack Social
To explain how to automatically share a WordPress post to your Facebook page, we will use Jetpack. It is a beginner-friendly plugin that is also integrated into Hostinger’s WordPress plans.
Thus, you can quickly start using it to share your WordPress content to Facebook.
1. Install and activate Jetpack Social
There are different methods for installing WordPress plugins, such as using your Hostinger control panel (Hostinger dashboard), an FTP client, or doing it manually.
Jetpack Social lets you automatically share new WordPress posts to connected social media accounts, including Facebook Pages.
To install it:
- Open your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Plugins → Add New Plugin.
- Search for Jetpack Social.
- Click Install Now, then Activate.
If you already have the main Jetpack plugin installed, you can use its built-in Social feature instead of installing the standalone plugin.
2. Connect your Facebook page
Once Jetpack Social is active, connect your Facebook Page:
- From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Jetpack → Social.
- Under the social network connections section, click Connect an account.
- Find Facebook and click Connect.
- Log in using the Facebook profile that manages your Page.
- Approve the required permissions and select the Facebook Page you want to connect.
- Complete the connection process and confirm that your Facebook Page appears under the connected accounts.
If your Page isn’t available, review the connection requirements described earlier.
3. Enable automatic sharing
After connecting your Facebook Page, go to Jetpack → Social → Settings and enable Automatically share your posts to your connected social accounts.
You can also control sharing for individual posts from the WordPress editor. Open the Jetpack or Social panel in the post settings sidebar, select your connected Facebook Page, and enable the Auto-share post option.
It’s also a good idea to edit other items on Jetpack’s settings page, like adding social sharing buttons.
4. Publish and test a shared post
To confirm automatic sharing works, create a new WordPress post and check that your Facebook Page is selected in the Jetpack Social panel.
Publish the post and review the sharing confirmation. Then open your Facebook Page to verify that the post appears correctly.
If the post doesn’t appear, check Jetpack Social’s sharing history and make sure your Facebook connection is still active.
