The Brand Vault Auto Upload to WordPress toggle automatically publishes Content Genius articles to your connected WordPress site when generation finishes. A known issue currently prevents this for single-article generations — the sections below cover how the feature works, the manual workaround, and how to get support.
📋 How the Auto Upload to WordPress toggle works
The Auto Upload to WordPress toggle lives inside each Brand Vault (accessed via Header apps-grid icon → More Features → Brand Vault). When enabled, it links your Brand Vault to a connected WordPress site so newly generated articles publish without a manual upload step.
The intended flow:
- Enable Auto Upload to WordPress in your Brand Vault settings.
- Generate an article in Content Genius using that Brand Vault.
- The article finishes generation and moves to review status.
- Content Genius sends the article to your connected WordPress site automatically.
When working as intended, the article appears in your WordPress dashboard with no extra clicks.
⚙️ How to enable Auto Upload to WordPress in your Brand Vault
To turn on the toggle for an existing Brand Vault:
- In Search Atlas, click the apps-grid icon in the header, then go to More Features → Brand Vault.
- Select the vault you want to update.
- Locate the Auto Upload to WordPress toggle.
- Confirm your WordPress site is connected to the Brand Vault.
- Switch the toggle on.
Your Brand Vault is now set to auto-publish every new article generated with it.
⚠️ Known issue: articles not auto-publishing after generation
A known issue in Content Genius causes single-article generations to skip the auto-publish step, even when the Auto Upload to WordPress toggle is enabled in the Brand Vault.
What you will see
- The article completes generation in Content Genius.
- The article transitions to a Needs Review status.
- The article stays unpublished on your WordPress site.
- The Auto Upload to WordPress toggle remains enabled, but no upload is triggered.
Current status
This issue is logged with our engineering team and a fix is in development. Tracking reference: CG-1731.
🚀 Manual workaround: publish your article to WordPress
While the fix is in development, publish any affected article to WordPress in a few clicks:
- Open the article in Content Genius.
- Confirm the article is in Needs Review status.
- Click Upload to WordPress at the top of the article.
- Select the correct WordPress site if prompted.
- Confirm the upload.
Your article publishes to WordPress the same way it would through the automatic flow.
🔑 Before you troubleshoot: check these requirements
If the manual upload also fails, confirm the following first:
- Your WordPress site is connected to Search Atlas under Integrations.
- The connected WordPress account has permission to publish posts.
- The correct WordPress site is linked to the Brand Vault you used to generate the article.
- The article was generated using the Brand Vault with the toggle enabled, not a different vault.
Once each item is confirmed, the Upload to WordPress button will successfully push your article live.
💡 What to do if the manual upload still fails
If you have confirmed all requirements and the manual Upload to WordPress still fails, contact Search Atlas support with the following details:
- The Content Genius article name or URL.
- The Brand Vault name.
- The connected WordPress site URL.
- A screenshot of the article status and the toggle setting.
Our support team will link your report to the active engineering ticket and update you when the auto-publish fix ships.
