I. Self-Hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) Configuration Guide

Applicable to sites where you purchase your own server and install the WordPress program.

Preparation

• Ensure your site runs WordPress 5.6 or higher.

• Ensure your site uses HTTPS.

Configuration Steps

1. Obtain App Password: Log into your WordPress admin, click “Users” → “Your Profile,” scroll to the bottom and locate the “App Passwords” section. Enter a name (e.g., ‘SEONIB’) and click “Add New App Password.” Copy the generated 24-digit random password.

2. Enter details in SEONIB: Return to the SEONIB Integrations page, locate the WordPress module, and click “Configure.”

◦ Store Address: Enter your site's full domain (e.g., https://yourdomain.com).

◦ Username: Enter your WordPress account username.

◦ App Password: Paste the 24-digit password generated in your WP admin.

3. Save and Verify: Click “Save.” Once verified, the status will display as “Connected.”

II. Official WordPress (WordPress.com) Configuration Guide

Applies to sites hosted on the official platform.

1、Prerequisites

• Your WordPress.com plan must support plugin installation (typically Business or Commerce edition) to enable REST API write permissions.

2、Configuration Steps

1. Enable Permissions: In your WordPress.com admin dashboard, ensure your security settings allow authentication via Application Passwords or the official API.

2. Enter Information in SEONIB: In the configuration pop-up, perform the following actions:

◦ Store Address: Enter your official subdomain or custom domain (e.g., https://yourname.wordpress.com).

◦ Username: Enter your WordPress.com login email or username.

◦ App Password: We recommend generating a dedicated app key in the official dashboard.

3. Save: Click “Save” to establish the connection.

3、 How to verify after successful publishing?

After publishing content, verify using these methods:

1. Admin path: Log into your WordPress admin, click “Posts” → “All Posts” in the left navigation.

2. Status check: Review the post list to confirm newly published blog posts display as “Published”.

3. Frontend Preview: Click “View Post” below the article to preview its actual layout on your website's frontend.

4、Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why do I see a “Connection Timed Out” error?

   A: Check if your server firewall is blocking external API requests, or verify if the REST API has been disabled by security plugins.

Q: Where should I check if the connection fails?

   A: First verify that the “App Secret” is entered correctly (we recommend regenerating and pasting it), and ensure your WordPress site hasn't disabled REST API permissions.

Q: Will AI-generated content include images?

   A: Yes. The Agent automatically matches high-quality illustrations based on modeling depth and syncs them to your WordPress media library with one click—no manual uploads required.
