## 🔍 What Is Happening

Some users have reported that manual edits made inside Content Genius are not carrying over when an article is published or synced to WordPress. Instead of the latest edited version, the original AI-generated draft is exported. Images may also appear slow to load within the editor.

This is a known platform bug that has been identified, investigated, and resolved by the Search Atlas engineering team. The fix has been deployed to production.



## 📋 Who Is Affected

- Users who write or edit articles in Content Genius and then publish or sync them to a connected WordPress site.
- Users who notice that their saved changes are not reflected in the published WordPress post.
- Users experiencing slow image loading within Content Genius articles.

## ✅ What Was Fixed

The engineering team confirmed and resolved two related issues:

- **Edited content not syncing:** When an article was edited after the initial AI draft was generated, the sync and export process was incorrectly shipping the original unedited draft to WordPress instead of the most recent saved version.
- **Bulk upload not updating published posts:** Published WordPress posts could not be updated correctly through the bulk upload workflow. This has also been resolved.
- **WordPress plugin authentication and content sync:** Underlying issues affecting the connection between Search Atlas and WordPress were addressed as part of the same release.

## 🚀 Steps to Try Now

1. Open your article in Content Genius.
2. Make your edits and confirm they appear as expected in the editor.
3. Save your changes before attempting to publish or sync.
4. Attempt to publish or sync the article to WordPress again.
5. Check your WordPress site to confirm the correct, edited version of the content has been published.

Because the fix has been deployed to production, most users should see the correct behaviour immediately. If you previously experienced this issue and your WordPress content still shows the old draft, try re-syncing or re-publishing the article from Content Genius.
