The SEO Writer plugin for WordPress

When you need the plugin

Normally WordPress connects without any plugin: the site is linked in one click, WordPress issues the application password itself, and nothing is installed. That is enough for most people.

The plugin covers one case — when the standard REST API is locked down. Security plugins such as Wordfence and some hosting providers close it, and then the usual connection fails: the connection test errors out and articles never arrive. The plugin receives material through its own protected route, which those restrictions do not affect.

What the plugin does

• receives the article and creates a post — a repeat delivery updates it instead of creating duplicates;
• moves the cover and images into the site media library together with their alt text;
• fills in the fields of Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress — whichever you have installed;
• files articles into categories and creates missing ones;
• notifies search engines about the new page via IndexNow;
• shows a log of recent deliveries right in the admin panel.

The text is still produced on our servers: the plugin generates nothing and does not load your hosting.

How to connect

1. Install the «SEO Writer» plugin from the WordPress directory and activate it.
2. In your workspace open the site settings and press Show connection key.
3. In your site admin open Settings → SEO Writer, paste the key and press Connect.

The key is valid for one hour — it is a one-off pass, not a permanent password. After connecting, the site appears in your workspace and the plugin receives its own signing key.

Site requirements

The site must run on https and be reachable from the internet: we deliver articles by sending a request to it. Local or password-protected sites cannot be connected.

One important detail: the address must not answer with a redirect. If the site opens both with and without www, use the variant that serves the page directly — we do not follow redirects, and such a delivery is lost.

Plan

The plugin works on any plan, including the free one. Only the number of articles per month is limited.

If an article did not arrive

Start with the delivery log in your workspace: it shows the site response code and the reason. Three common causes:

• Signature mismatch — the key in the plugin is outdated. Reconnect the site with a fresh key.
• Request expired — the clock on the site server differs from real time by more than five minutes. That is fixed on the hosting side.
• 404 response — the plugin is disabled or removed. Enable it and press «Test connection».

What happens if you delete the plugin

Published articles, images and categories stay on the site — that is your content. The plugin removes only its own settings. To keep publishing, connect the site the usual way with an application password.
