should have a button 'Create My Access token', please do it.

5. If you don't see immediately the Access Token at the bottom, 
please refresh the API Keys tab page.

FAQ

My blog is hosted on shared hosting, can I use MicroblogPoster?

Warning about inherent php script execution time limitation that some Hosting Providers apply on shared accounts (max_execution_time PHP setting).
Since MicroblogPoster needs time to update all your social accounts when publishing a new blog post, this limit might be reached and script execution stopped.
In order to avoid it, please limit the number of social accounts based on your environment script execution time limit.

The PHP cURL extension is required?

Yes, otherwise the plugin simply won’t function at all.

Doesn’t work

cisak May 16, 2021

Seemed promising but not working anymore. You can do some config but it’s not possible to link social media accounts. Seems like there weren’t any updates in many years. (Google+ still listed for instance)

Not Working

Jumped through the hoops of setting it up for pintrest. Authorized the app, set everything up per the instructions. 3 days later, still no post has been pinned to pintrest boards.
