Indexly

WordPress.org

Connect a self-hosted WordPress site so Indexly Content Agents can publish articles directly to it — with headings, images, internal links, FAQ and Article schema already in place.

What you can do

  • Publish Content Agent articles as a draft or live post
  • Map articles to a category, author and post status
  • Push featured images and inline media to the media library
  • Keep FAQ / Article schema and internal links on publish
  • Re-publish updates when content is refreshed

Before you begin

  • WordPress 5.6 or newer with the REST API enabled (default)
  • A user with the Editor or Administrator role
  • An Application Password for that user (not your login password)
  • Your site reachable over HTTPS

Connect

  1. In WordPress, go to Users → Profile → Application Passwords, enter a name like Indexly and click Add New Application Password. Copy the generated value.
  2. In Indexly, open Integrations → WordPress.org and choose Connect.
  3. Enter your site URL (e.g. https://example.com), the username, and the application password.
  4. Click Test connection. Indexly calls the REST API to verify credentials and list your categories and authors.
  5. Pick your defaults — post status (draft or publish), category and author — then save.

Publishing options

  • Draft — recommended while you build trust in the output. Articles land in WordPress for review.
  • Publish — articles go live automatically on the cadence your Content Agent is set to.
  • Scheduled — queue posts to publish at a future date.

Troubleshooting

  • 401 Unauthorized — the application password is wrong or was revoked. Generate a new one and reconnect.
  • 403 Forbidden — the user lacks permission to create posts, or a security plugin (Wordfence, iThemes) is blocking the REST API. Allowlist Indexly or re-enable /wp-json/wp/v2.
  • 404 on /wp-json — permalinks are set to “Plain”. Switch to “Post name” under Settings → Permalinks.
  • Images missing — check upload permissions and PHP upload_max_filesize.
