WordPress official plug-in 'Jetpack Social' makes it impossible to automatically post to Twitter, API usage conditions do not agree

From May 1, 2023 (Monday), automatic posting to Twitter is no longer possible with the official WordPress plugin ``

Jetpack Social '', which allows you to post to multiple SNS with one click. After Twitter changed the terms of use and price of the API, they continued to make adjustments, but they did not reach an agreement.

Starting May 1, you will no longer be able to share https://t.co/TtSh4XCnsB posts automatically to Twitter using Jetpack Social. This decision came after a number of conversations with Twitter since their change to the terms & pricing of the Twitter API. https://t.co/2Y5RO1YaAR

On April 3, 2023, Twitter blocked WordPress.com's access to its API without warning. As a result, it is no longer possible to automatically post articles to Twitter using Jetpack Social.

Fortunately, access to WordPress.com's Twitter API was restored within the day, but the terms and prices for the new API announced by Twitter were very different.

Jetpack developer Automattic said that he consulted with Twitter in good faith about the new conditions, but he said that he did not reach an agreement. For this reason, as of May 1, 2023, Jetpack Social will no longer be able to connect to Twitter, making it impossible to automatically share posts to Twitter.

In addition, automatic sharing to Tumblr, Facebook, LinkedIn is still possible, and in the future we plan to add an automatic sharing function to Instagram and Mastodon.

In addition, a natural announcement is made that 'posts can be manually shared to Twitter by pasting a link to the post in the body of the tweet.'
