WordPress

The WordPress integration lets Sira send generated blog drafts directly into your WordPress site. Drafts arrive unpublished — your team reviews, edits, and publishes inside WordPress.

​

What this unlocks

• One-click drafts from content gaps to WordPress posts.
• Schema.org markup automatically attached to each draft.
• Category and author assignment during the push so drafts arrive in the right place.

​

What you need

• A self-hosted or managed WordPress site (WordPress 5.6 or later).
• A WordPress user with Editor or Administrator role.
• The Application Passwords feature enabled. It’s on by default in WordPress 5.6+.
• A Videntic plan that includes blog generation (Pro or Max).

​

Create an application password

WordPress application passwords are separate from your login password. They let integrations post on your behalf without using your main credentials.

Connect from Videntic

​

Configure default publishing settings

From Settings → Integrations → WordPress you can set:

• Default author — which WordPress user the draft is assigned to.
• Default category — what category drafts land in.
• Default status — usually draft (leave it here unless you have a review workflow that uses pending).

You can override any of these when publishing an individual draft.

​

What happens when you publish a draft

When you click Publish to WordPress from inside a draft in Videntic:

1. Videntic creates a new post via the WordPress REST API.
2. The post is created as an unpublished draft — it does not appear on your live site.
3. Title, body, excerpt, slug, featured image alt text, and Yoast-compatible SEO fields are populated.
4. Schema.org markup is embedded in the body where appropriate.
5. You get a link to open the draft in WordPress for a final editorial pass.

​

Data Videntic reads from WordPress

To keep drafts consistent with your site, Videntic reads:

• Posts — published post metadata (titles, categories, authors) for context.
• Categories and tags — to assign drafts sensibly.
• Users — to list available authors in the settings dropdown.

Videntic doesn’t read comments, user private data, or any WooCommerce order data.

​

Data Videntic writes to WordPress

Only new posts. Specifically:

• Creating new posts as drafts.
• Updating posts Videntic previously created (if you re-push an edited draft from Videntic).

Videntic never modifies existing posts it didn’t create, never deletes content, and never changes status from draft to published automatically.

​

Troubleshooting

“Authentication failed” The username or application password is wrong. Make sure you’re using the WordPress username (not the email address), and that the application password hasn’t been revoked. “REST API unreachable” Some security plugins (Wordfence, iThemes Security, etc.) block the REST API by default. Enable REST API access or temporarily allowlist Videntic’s IPs — contact support for the current range. Draft is missing featured image Videntic doesn’t upload images automatically. Add the featured image inside WordPress during your editorial pass. Draft’s schema markup broke the layout Some themes override the <article> markup in ways that conflict with schema.org embedding. Switching to a theme-friendly Yoast schema output is usually the fastest fix — contact support if you need specific guidance.

​

Disconnect

Open Settings → Integrations → WordPress and click Disconnect. Videntic stops pushing to the site and forgets the stored application password. For extra safety, also revoke the application password from your WordPress profile page.
