    Hello, we have a WP to Buffer plugin on our staging site to schedule posts for our Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages. However, we would like the social media posts to contain production URLs rather than staging URLs. Is this functionality supported, or must the plugin be installed on the production website to schedule and publish the posts automatically?

    Our goal is to ensure that when we publish an article in WordPress staging and deploy it, the article appears immediately on our Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages without manually scheduling the posts or editing the URLs in the Buffer account. Is this possible?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    You’re welcome to review the available developer documentation to change the {url} tag from your staging post URL to your production post URL:

    For immediate publishing to social media, you’ll need the Pro version of the Plugin, using the “Send Immediately” setting:
