Wordpress Integration

Syncing articles with Wordpress

NOTE: Article syncing is refer to as 'publishing' within SmartPost.

Our WordPress integration allows you to automatically publish new articles directly to your WordPress website. Smartpost's integration with WordPress enables seamless synchronization between your Smartpost articles and your WordPress site. With this integration, every article you generate in Smartpost will be synced to your WordPress site, ensuring efficient content management.

You have the flexibility to choose from different publishing options. You can opt for automatic publishing, where articles are published to your WordPress site immediately upon generation. Alternatively, you can choose manual publishing, giving you control over when and how each article is published. Additionally, you can schedule articles for publishing at specific dates and times, allowing you to plan your content release strategy in advance.
