Publishing to WordPress

What it does

Nexus publishes articles to the client's WordPress site as drafts, with the SEO plugin's fields (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO or SEOPress) filled: meta title, description and focus keyword.

Set it up

1. "Connect WordPress for them." Nexus posts an authorize link for the client's own site.
2. ✋ A WordPress administrator opens it and approves. WordPress creates an application password for Nexus.

The user who approves needs an Editor or Administrator role; a Contributor can't publish.

Use it

• "Publish [title] to WordPress as a draft." Check it in wp-admin, then publish it there.
• Fix a published post: "Update [title] on WordPress."

Troubleshooting

• The message says "WordPress connection expired." The application password was revoked or the user's password changed. Connect again.
• SEO fields didn't save on Yoast. Yoast doesn't accept them over the API without a small snippet on the site. Ask your Nexus team.

Prompts

• "Connect WordPress for them."
• "Publish [title] to WordPress as a draft."
• "Update [title] on WordPress."
