WordPress integration

The WordPress integration lets you keep the site you already have. Studio handles ideation, drafting, review and image generation, then publishes the approved article into WordPress through the REST API.

What the WordPress integration writes

ElementBehaviour
Post title and bodyWritten as HTML, with formatting preserved
StatusDraft or publish, your choice per channel
Featured imageUploaded to the media library and attached
In-article imagesReferenced at their Studio URLs. They are not copied into the media library
SlugSet explicitly, and a slug collision fails the publish loudly instead of letting WordPress silently rename it
AuthorThe application user you connect

Publishing is idempotent. Re-running a publish updates the existing post rather than creating a duplicate.

What the WordPress integration can be used for

WordPress can be used for automated blog publishing with an editorial gate, so nothing reaches the site unreviewed.

WordPress can be used for a staged rollout, publishing as draft for the first weeks and switching to live once the team trusts the output.

WordPress can be used for content refresh at scale, updating existing posts rather than only adding new ones.

WordPress can be used alongside a Studio-hosted site, if you are migrating gradually and want both fed from one pipeline.

WordPress can be used as the publishing surface while measurement stays first-party, because the tracker sits on the WordPress site independently of the plugin ecosystem.

Frequently asked

Does it install a plugin? No. It uses the REST API that ships with WordPress.

Will it overwrite posts I edited by hand? Only if you re-run a publish for that article. Manual edits in WordPress are not synced back, so treat WordPress as the publishing surface and Studio as the source.

Can it publish to WooCommerce products? Not today. Articles and pages are supported.

Does it set categories and tags? Not yet. Set your default category in WordPress; taxonomy mapping is on the roadmap.
