PostCaster

An administrator should first enable the plugin, choose the allowed post types, and configure at least one global account or enable personal publishing.

No. Automatic publishing is intended for the transition to publish . Already published posts can be re-posted manually from the post edit screen.

Yes. Personal publishing is available through PostCaster > My socials when the site administrator allows that network for authors.

PostCaster applies the character limit for the target network. If the final message still does not fit safely, that target is skipped and an error is stored on the post.

PostCaster may retry the publishing through Action Scheduler. On low-traffic sites, a server administrator may need to add a real server cron job or scheduled task for more reliable timing. In practice this is often only a small issue, because even fairly quiet public sites usually still receive enough bot traffic for WordPress cron to run regularly.

WordPress cron normally runs only when someone visits the site. A real cron job is a scheduler on the server itself that triggers WordPress cron on a fixed interval, even when the site has little traffic.

If you do not manage the server yourself, ask the server administrator or hosting provider to add it. If that is not possible, it is usually acceptable to live with slightly slower retries.
