Publishing Options
After an article is generated, you have several options for how and when to publish it to WordPress or Shopify.
Publish status
- ·Published — Goes live immediately and becomes indexable by search engines
- ·Draft — Saved to WordPress for further editing before publishing
Categories & tags
Before publishing, select a WordPress category and tags from your site's existing taxonomy. RankWriting reads your site's category list automatically.
Author
Assign the article to any user on your WordPress site. Useful for multi-author blogs where content attribution matters.
What gets written to WordPress
RankWriting writes the following fields via the REST API:
- ·Post title
- ·Post content (HTML)
- ·Meta Title (compatible with Yoast / RankMath)
- ·Meta Description
- ·Featured image
- ·Categories and tags
- ·Author
After publishing
Once published, the article shows a Published status in your Posts list. Click it to open the live WordPress URL directly.
Re-publish
If you edit an article after it's been published, clicking Publish again will update the existing WordPress post — it won't create a duplicate.
