- Automatically publish posts on LinkedIn when saving
- Custom LinkedIn text independent of the blog post
- Optional separate LinkedIn image

🔒 GDPR Compliance
The plugin does not communicate directly with LinkedIn from the WordPress admin.
All OAuth traffic is routed through a neutral, tracking-free proxy at
https://social-publisher.enfants.de, which stores no personal data.
This prevents third-party cookies and ensures a fully compliant authorization flow.
Important Notes
- LinkedIn posts cannot be edited from WordPress after publishing.
- Changes to WordPress posts do not affect already published LinkedIn posts.
- A post is only published once – when it is first saved.
