Docs/Publishing Options

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.
