WordPress users have long been able to share their content on Twitter automatically, but that’s about to change. Jetpack, the WordPress plugin from Automattic, is ending its support for auto-sharing posts and pages on Twitter.
The decision was made due to changes in the way Twitter handles authentication tokens. As of August 16th 2019, all apps using basic authentication will no longer be supported by the platform. This means that any app or service relying on this type of authentication won’t be able to access a user’s account information or post tweets on their behalf.
Jetpack has decided it can no longer provide an effective solution for auto-sharing content with Twitter due to these changes and as such they are discontinuing support for this feature within their plugin. The feature will still work until August 16th 2019 but after that date it will no longer function correctly and should not be used anymore.
For those who rely heavily on auto-sharing content with Twitter there are alternatives available such as IFTTT (If This Then That) which allows you to create automated tasks between different services including WordPress and Twitter. There are also other plugins available which offer similar functionality although none of them may offer the same level of integration as Jetpack did previously so it may take some experimentation before finding one that works best for your needs.
It is important to note that while Jetpack is ending its support for auto-sharing posts and pages with Twitter, other features such as stats tracking, security scanning and backups remain unaffected by this change so if you use these features then you don’t need to worry about losing them when upgrading your site or switching plugins later down the line.
Overall, while it is unfortunate news that Jetpack is discontinuing its support for auto-sharing posts and pages with Twitter it does open up new opportunities for users who want more control over how they share their content online via social media platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn instead of just relying solely on one platform like many people do now days when sharing content online through WordPress sites alone .
