WordPress Auto Publish (V1) Setup

This guide configures PrismSEO to publish generated articles to WordPress using Application Passwords.

1) WordPress prerequisites

• WordPress site is reachable over HTTPS.
• REST API is enabled (/wp-json/wp/v2/posts and /wp-json/wp/v2/users/me should resolve).
• The WordPress user has permissions to create/edit posts.

2) Create an Application Password in WordPress

1. In WordPress admin, open Users -> Profile.

2. Scroll to Application Passwords.

3. Add a new app password (for example: PrismSEO).

4. Copy the generated password immediately.

3) Connect WordPress in PrismSEO

1. Open PrismSEO dashboard Integrations.

2. In the WordPress section, enter:

- Site URL (example: https://example.com)

- WordPress username

3. Click Connect WordPress.

PrismSEO validates credentials through GET /wp-json/wp/v2/users/me before saving.

4) Publish an article

1. Generate or open an article draft in Article Generator.

2. Click Publish to WordPress.

3. Choose connected site and mode:

5) Publish history + troubleshooting

• Publish outcomes are visible in Publish History inside Article Generator.

- Network timeout: WordPress host is unreachable or blocking outbound requests.

• If a site is disconnected, reconnect it before publishing again.
