# 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- **The message says "WordPress connection expired."** The application password was revoked or the user's password changed.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."
