Integração com WordPress

Overview

The WordPress integration allows you to publish AI-generated articles directly from Rankfender to your WordPress site. Once connected, articles created through the Content Planner can be sent to WordPress with a single click, complete with categories, featured images, and meta information.

Setup Steps

Follow these four steps to connect your WordPress site to Rankfender:

Step 1: Download the Plugin

Download the Rankfender WP Plugin v1.3.3 ZIP file from the Integrations page in your project settings. The plugin file is a standard WordPress plugin archive that can be installed on any self-hosted WordPress site running version 5.0 or later.

Step 2: Install and Activate

In your WordPress admin panel, navigate to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. Select the downloaded ZIP file and click Install Now. Once the installation completes, click Activate to enable the plugin. The Rankfender plugin will appear in your installed plugins list with a settings link.

Step 3: Generate API Token

Back in Rankfender, navigate to Project Settings > Integrations > WordPress and click Generate Token. Rankfender generates a unique 64-character API token that authenticates your WordPress site. Copy this token immediately, as it will only be shown once.

Warning: Regenerating the API token invalidates the current one. If you regenerate a token, you must update the token in your WordPress plugin settings, or the connection will break.

Step 4: Connect

In your WordPress admin panel, go to the Rankfender plugin settings page. Paste the 64-character API token into the token field and click Test Connection. If the connection is successful, you will see a confirmation message. Return to Rankfender to verify the connection status.

After Connection

Once your WordPress site is connected, the following features become available:

• Connection Status - A green "Connected" badge appears next to the WordPress integration in your project settings, confirming an active connection.
• WordPress Site URL - Set or update the URL of your WordPress site to ensure articles are published to the correct location.
• Active/Inactive Toggle - Toggle the integration on or off without disconnecting. When inactive, articles will not be sent to WordPress even if the connection remains valid.
• Auto-Fetched Categories - Rankfender automatically retrieves your WordPress categories, allowing you to assign categories to articles before publishing.

Publishing Articles

With the integration active, you can publish articles from the Content section. Each article can be assigned a WordPress category, and the article title, content, meta description, and featured image are transmitted to your WordPress site. Articles are created as drafts by default, giving you the opportunity to review them in WordPress before making them live.

Troubleshooting

If the Test Connection fails, verify the following:

• The API token was copied correctly without extra spaces or characters.
• The Rankfender plugin is activated in WordPress.
• Your WordPress site is publicly accessible (not behind a maintenance mode or firewall that blocks external requests).
• The token has not been regenerated since you last pasted it into the plugin settings.
