SEOGraphy publishes your finished articles straight to WordPress as drafts, so you always get the final review and click Publish yourself inside WordPress. To do that it needs a WordPress application password - a dedicated key you generate for apps, separate from your login password.
Before you start
WordPress 5.6 or newer, served over HTTPS.
The WordPress REST API reachable at https://your-site.com/wp-json (some security plugins or hosts block it).
A user who can create posts (Administrator, Editor, or Author).
Step 1 - Create an application password
Log in to your WordPress admin.
Go to Users > Profile (or Users > Your Profile).
Scroll to the Application Passwords section.
Type a name you will recognise, for example SEOGraphy, and click Add New Application Password.
WordPress shows the new password once, formatted like abcd efgh ijkl mnop qrst uvwx. Copy it now - you cannot see it again.
If you do not see the Application Passwords section, your site is either not on HTTPS or a plugin has disabled the feature. Enable HTTPS or the Application Passwords feature and try again.
Step 2 - Add the connection in SEOGraphy
1. Open Sites in the top navigation and click your website. 2. Scroll to the Publishing section and click Add WordPress. 3. Fill in: - WordPress site URL - your site address, including https:// (for example https://blog.example.com). - Username - your WordPress username. - Application password
- the value you copied in step 1. 4. Click
Connect and test
. SEOGraphy verifies the credentials against your site immediately and tells you if anything is wrong.
Your application password is encrypted before it is stored and is never shown again. To change it, remove the connection and add it back with a fresh password.
What happens when you publish
When you publish an article with a WordPress connection attached, SEOGraphy:
Converts the article to HTML.
Uploads each image to your WordPress media library and swaps in the new URLs.
Sets the featured image.
Fills in the SEO title, meta description, and focus keyword (Yoast fields, when Yoast is installed).
Injects Article and FAQ structured data.
Creates the post as a Draft.
You then open the draft in WordPress, give it a final look, and click Publish there.
Troubleshooting
The test fails. Check that the site URL starts with https://, that wp-json is not blocked by a security plugin or firewall, and that the user can create posts.
How many sites can I connect? Your plan sets the number of WordPress targets. If you hit the limit, upgrade or remove a connection.
Nothing appears on my live site. That is expected - SEOGraphy only ever creates drafts. Publish them inside WordPress when you are ready.
