Auto Publish Blog Posts to WordPress

Why You Should Automate Publishing to WordPress

WordPress powers 43% of the web. It's the standard for CMS, but the posting workflow often feels like 2010.

The WordPress Grind:

• Drafting in Google Docs.
• Copy-pasting (and losing H2 headings).
• Uploading images one by one and setting alt text.
• Filling out Yoast SEO fields manually.

Word-flux connects your writing tool directly to your publishing platform.

A Modern WordPress Workflow

1. Direct CMS Integration

Instead of copying and pasting, Word-flux sends your content via the REST API. Your H1s, H2s, blockquotes, and lists arrive exactly as you formatted them.

2. Featured Image & Alt Text

Generated or uploaded images are automatically set as the "Featured Image" in WordPress. Alt text is generated by AI based on the image content for accessibility and SEO.

3. Smart Categories

Don't clutter your site with uncategorized posts. Word-flux suggests existing categories based on your post content or creates new ones if needed.

4. SEO Metadata Injection

If you use Yoast or RankMath, Word-flux can populate the meta title and description fields automatically so you don't have to rewrite them.

How to Set It Up

1. Connect: Install the "Application Passwords" plugin (or use built-in functionality for WP 5.6+).
2. Authenticate: Enter your site URL, username, and application password into Word-flux.
3. Map Fields: Tell us which custom fields (if any) you need populated.
4. Publish: Hit "Draft" to review in WP Admin or "Publish" to go live instantly.

Best Practices

• Draft First: Always publish as "Draft" initially to do a final check of formatting on your specific theme.
• Excerpt: Don't forget the excerpt! It shows up on your blog index page and RSS feeds. Word-flux generates a concise summary automatically.
