How can automatic posting to Facebook be disabled for some posts?

We’re running your Facebook plug-in in our WordPress to post our news/blog posts to our Facebook page, but we’re also using a multilingual plug-in to translate our posts. When a post goes up, the Facebook plug-in posts both the real post and the translation to the Facebook page, which produces extra clutter on the Facebook page that needs manual deleting. How can we disable the plug-in from posting certain posts (like our translations)?

    Hi @musicmaster

    Thanks for posting and welcome to WPMU DEV!

    I don’t think it’s possible to do this, it’s kind of all or nothing.

    If I were you I would probably disable auto posting(Go to wp-admin > Facebook > Autopost to Facebook > “Allow autoposting new posts to Facebook”, and just tick the box > Unticked) and then when you write a new post just tick the box to post to Facebook(“Facebook Publishing” box under post box then tick “I want to publish this post to Facebook”:wink:.

    So it might take more work than you were hoping, but it’s just ticking a box, rather than having to login and delete several posts.

    I hope that helps!

    Cheers,

    Mike
