Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/mikeyeah29/propertyhive-buffer-auto-post/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Readme github.com/mikeyeah29/propertyhive-buffer-auto-post ↗

Automatically creates Buffer posts when a Property Hive sales listing first goes live, its asking price is reduced, or it first reaches Sold STC/Sold.

Requirements

  • PHP 7.4 or newer
  • WordPress 6.5 or newer
  • Property Hive 2.0.16 or newer
  • A Buffer API key and at least one connected Facebook or Instagram channel
  • HTTPS property and uploads URLs that Buffer can reach publicly

Setup

  1. Activate the plugin and allow its background baseline to complete.
  2. Open Property Hive → Buffer Auto Post.
  3. Save a Buffer API key, then use Test connection and refresh.
  4. Select the organisation and destination channels.
  5. Configure caption templates and upload a transparent PNG sold overlay.
  6. Send a draft from the Test tab and confirm it in Buffer.
  7. Enable the required automatic events.

The API key may instead be defined in wp-config.php:

define( 'PHBAP_BUFFER_API_KEY', 'your-key' );

PHBAP_BUFFER_API_URL can override the GraphQL endpoint for a controlled test environment.

Delivery safety

Property writes only create local events; Buffer requests run through WP-Cron. Each channel is tracked independently. Definitive throttling can retry up to three total attempts, while ambiguous timeouts are marked uncertain and are not resent automatically.

Buffer fetches media from public URLs when publishing. Property photos are re-encoded through PHP GD or Imagick as cached, metadata-free JPEGs no larger than 1080px in uploads/phbap/buffer/. Generated sold images remain in uploads/phbap/ until every related Buffer post reports a terminal sent/error state.

Development

Install development-only tools with composer install, then run:

composer lint
composer test

Set WP_TESTS_DIR to include the optional WordPress integration suite. Without it, the pure caption and scheduling unit tests still run.
