CONNECT → Authenticate with WordPress site 2. ANALYZE → Load categories from site, analyze content for best match 3. GENERATE → Create SEO-optimized tags based on content 4. CONVERT → Transform markdown/HTML to Gutenberg blocks 5. PREVIEW → Create draft and verify rendering 6. PUBLISH → Publish or schedule the post 7. VERIFY → Confirm live post renders correctly ``` --- ## Step 1: Connection Setup ### Get Credentials Ask user for: - WordPress site URL (e.g., `https://example.com`) - WordPress username - Application password (NOT regular password) ### How to Create Application Password Guide user: 1. Go to **Users → Profile** in WordPress admin 2. Scroll to **Application Passwords** section 3. Enter name: `Claude Publisher` 4. Click **Add New Application Password** 5. Copy the generated password (shown only once, with spaces) ### Test Connection ```python from scripts.wp_publisher import WordPressPublisher wp = WordPressPublisher( site_url="https://example.com", username="admin", password="xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx" # Application password ) # Test connection user_info = wp.test_connection() print(f"Connected as: {user_info['name']}") ``` --- ## Step 2: Load and Select Categories ### Auto-Load Categories from Site ```python # Get all categories from the WordPress site categories = wp.get_categories_with_details() # Returns list like: # [ # {'id': 1, 'name': 'Uncategorized', 'slug': 'uncategorized', 'count': 5}, # {'id': 2, 'name': 'Tutorials', 'slug': 'tutorials', 'count': 12}, # {'id': 3, 'name': 'Cloud Hosting', 'slug': 'cloud-hosting', 'count': 8}, # ] ``` ### Smart Category Selection The system analyzes content and selects the most appropriate category: ```python # Analyze content and suggest best category suggested_category = wp.suggest_category( content=article_content, title=article_title, available_categories=categories ) # Or let user choose from available options print("Available categories:") for cat in categories: print(f" [{cat['id']}] {cat['name']} ({cat['count']} posts)") ``` ### Category Selection Logic 1. **Exact match** - Title/content contains category name 2. **Keyword match** - Category slug matches topic keywords 3. **Parent category** - Fall back to broader parent if no match 4. **Create new** - Create category if none fit (with user approval) --- ## Step 3: Generate SEO-Optimized Tags ### Automatic Tag Generation Generate tags that improve Google search visibility: ```python # Generate tags based on content analysis tags = wp.generate_seo_tags( content=article_content, title=article_title, max_tags=10 ) # Returns list like: # ['n8n hosting', 'workflow automation', 'self-hosted n8n', # 'affordable hosting', 'docker deployment', 'node.js hosting'] ``` ### Tag Generation Rules 1. **Primary keyword** - Always include as first tag 2. **Secondary keywords** - Include 2-3 related terms 3. **Long-tail keywords** - Include 3-4 specific phrases 4. **Entity tags** - Include product/brand names mentioned 5. **Topic tags** - Include broader category terms ### Create/Get Tags in WordPress ```python # Get or create all tags, returns list of tag IDs tag_ids = wp.get_or_create_tags(tags) ``` --- ## Step 4: Convert Content to Gutenberg Blocks ### Markdown to Gutenberg ```python from scripts.content_to_gutenberg import convert_to_gutenberg # Convert markdown content gutenberg_content = convert_to_gutenberg(markdown_content) ``` ### Supported Conversions | Markdown | Gutenberg Block | |----------|-----------------| | `# Heading` | `wp:heading` | | `**bold**` | `<strong>` in paragraph | | `- list item` | `wp:list` | | `1. ordered` | `wp:list {"ordered":true}` | | `\`\`\`code\`\`\`` | `wp:code` | | `> quote` | `wp:quote` | | `![alt](url)` | `wp:image` | | `\| table \|` | `wp:table` | ### Table Conversion (Critical for AI Content) Tables are converted with proper Gutenberg structure: ```python # Input markdown: | Feature | Plan A | Plan B | |---------|--------|--------| | Price | $10 | $20 | # Output Gutenberg: <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table> <thead><tr><th>Feature</th><th>Plan A</th><th>Plan B</th></tr></thead> <tbody><tr><td>Price</td><td>$10</td><td>$20</td></tr></tbody> </table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> ``` --- ## Step 5: Preview Before Publishing ### Create Draft for Preview ```python # Create as draft first result = wp.create_draft( title="Article Title", content=gutenberg_content, categories=[category_id], tags=tag_ids, excerpt="Auto-generated or custom excerpt" ) post_id = result['post_id'] preview_url = result['preview_url'] edit_url = result['edit_url'] ``` ### Verify Preview ```python # Fetch preview page to verify rendering preview_content = wp.fetch_preview(post_id) # Check for issues issues = wp.validate_rendered_content(preview_content) if issues: print("Issues found:") for issue in issues: print(f" - {issue}") ``` ### Preview Checklist - [ ] Title displays correctly - [ ] All headings render (H2, H3, H4) - [ ] Tables render with proper formatting - [ ] Lists display correctly (bullet and numbered) - [ ] Code blocks have syntax highlighting - [ ] Images load (if any) - [ ] Links are clickable - [ ] Category shows correctly - [ ] Tags display in post --- ## Step 6: Publish the Post ### Publish Draft ```python # After preview approval, publish result = wp.publish_post(post_id) live_url = result['live_url'] ``` ### Or Create and Publish Directly ```python # Full publish workflow in one call result = wp.publish_content( title="Article Title", content=gutenberg_content, category_names=["Cloud Hosting"], # By name, auto-resolves to ID tag_names=["n8n", "hosting", "automation"], status="publish", # or "draft", "pending", "private", "future" excerpt="Custom excerpt for SEO", slug="custom-url-slug" ) ``` ### Scheduling Posts ```python # Schedule for future publication from datetime import datetime, timedelta publish_date = datetime.now() + timedelta(days=1) result = wp.publish_content( title="Scheduled Post", content=content, status="future", date=publish_date.isoformat() ) ``` --- ## Step 7: Verify Published Post ### Check Live Post ```python # Verify the published post verification = wp.verify_published_post(post_id) print(f"Live URL: {verification['url']}") print(f"Status: {verification['status']}") print(f"Categories: {verification['categories']}") print(f"Tags: {verification['tags']}") ``` ### Common Issues and Fixes | Issue | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | Tables not rendering | Missing figure wrapper | Use proper `wp:table` block structure | | Code not highlighted | Missing language attribute | Add `{"language":"python"}` to code block | | Images broken | Wrong URL or missing media | Upload to WordPress first, use media ID | | Tags not showing | Theme doesn't display tags | Check theme settings or use different theme | --- ## Complete Example Workflow ```python from scripts.wp_publisher import WordPressPublisher from scripts.content_to_gutenberg import convert_to_gutenberg # 1. Connect wp = WordPressPublisher( site_url="https://xcloud.host", username="admin", password="xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx" ) # 2. Load categories and select best match categories = wp.get_categories_with_details() best_category = wp.suggest_category(content, title, categories) # 3. Generate SEO tags tags = wp.generate_seo_tags(content, title, max_tags=10) # 4. Convert to Gutenberg gutenberg_content = convert_to_gutenberg(markdown_content) # 5. Create draft and preview draft = wp.create_draft( title="7 Best n8n Hosting Providers in 2026", content=gutenberg_content, categories=[best_category['id']], tags=wp.get_or_create_tags(tags) ) print(f"Preview: {draft['preview_url']}") # 6. After verification, publish result = wp.publish_post(draft['post_id']) print(f"Published: {result['live_url']}") ``` --- ## Quick Reference ### API Endpoints | Resource | Endpoint | |----------|----------| | Posts | `/wp-json/wp/v2/posts` | | Pages | `/wp-json/wp/v2/pages` | | Categories | `/wp-json/wp/v2/categories` | | Tags | `/wp-json/wp/v2/tags` | | Media | `/wp-json/wp/v2/media` | ### Post Statuses | Status | Description | |--------|-------------| | `publish` | Live and visible | | `draft` | Saved but not visible | | `pending` | Awaiting review | | `private` | Only visible to admins | | `future` | Scheduled for later | ### Required Files - `scripts/wp_publisher.py` - Main publisher class - `scripts/content_to_gutenberg.py` - Markdown/HTML converter - `references/gutenberg-blocks.md` - Block format reference --- ## Error Handling | Error Code | Meaning | Solution | |------------|---------|----------| | 401 | Invalid credentials | Check username and application password | | 403 | Insufficient permissions | User needs Editor or Admin role | | 404 | Endpoint not found | Verify REST API is enabled | | 400 | Invalid data | Check category/tag IDs exist | | 500 | Server error | Retry or check WordPress error logs | --- ## Best Practices 1. **Always preview first** - Create as draft, verify, then publish 2. **Use application passwords** - Never use regular WordPress password 3. **Select appropriate category** - Helps with site organization and SEO 4. **Generate relevant tags** - Improves Google discoverability 5. **Validate Gutenberg blocks** - Ensure proper block structure 6. **Keep excerpts under 160 chars** - Optimal for search snippets 7. **Use descriptive slugs** - Include primary keyword in URL
