Content Genius includes a CMS connector that lets you publish finished articles directly to your connected WordPress site. Publishing is an explicit action you trigger from within the editor — it does not sync automatically in the background.
🔌 Connect Your WordPress Site
Complete this step once per project. After the connection is saved and active, you can reuse it for any article in that project.
- Open Content → Content Genius (What are we writing today?) from your Search Atlas dashboard.
- Go to the top-right avatar → Settings → CMS Connectors section.
- Select WordPress as the destination and enter your site URL and API credentials.
- Save the connection. Confirm it shows an active status before proceeding.
If the connection fails to save, double-check that your site URL is correct (including https://) and that the API key has publish permissions in WordPress.
📤 Publish an Article to WordPress
Once your WordPress site is connected and shows an active status, you can push any finished article to it from the Content Genius editor.
- Open the article you want to publish inside Content Genius.
- Locate the Publish option in the article actions area.
- Select your connected WordPress site as the destination.
- Choose your publish mode and confirm to send the article.
After publishing, check your WordPress dashboard if the article does not appear immediately. Depending on the publish mode selected, the article may arrive as a draft rather than a live post.
🔧 Fix Common Issues
- Connection not saving: Confirm your site URL includes the correct protocol (https://). Verify the API key has the necessary publish permissions in WordPress.
- Publish option not available: The publish action only appears when there is an active, verified connection. Return to CMS Connectors (top-right avatar → Settings → CMS Connectors) and confirm the WordPress connection status.
- Article missing after publish: Log into your WordPress dashboard and check both Published posts and Drafts. The article may have been sent under a different publish mode than expected.
- Authentication errors on reconnect: Remove the existing connection from CMS Connectors, then re-add your WordPress site with fresh credentials. Updating credentials in place does not always clear a stale auth state.
