Post Ping turns every article you publish on WordPress into a ready-to-go post on Instagram and your Facebook Page. This first article walks through the installation.
1. Upload the plugin
In your WordPress dashboard go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the .zip file you received with your subscription and click Install Now, then Activate.
2. Activate your license
Open Post Ping → Subscription and paste the license key you received by email. Each key activates one WordPress site. Once the key is active, the plugin starts working and future updates arrive automatically in Dashboard → Updates, like any official plugin.
3. Check the requirements
You need WordPress 5.8 or newer, PHP 8.0 or newer, and — to publish on Instagram — a professional Instagram account linked to a Facebook Page.
That is the whole installation. The next articles cover connecting your social accounts and shaping how the posts look.
