Connect WordPress

QueueWrite publishes through the WordPress REST API using a site URL, username, and Application Password. Connections are configured per project in Settings → Publishing.

1. 1
   Select the project

   Open the project you want to publish from. WordPress is configured for the selected project (not as a single global destination for every workspace).

2. 2
   Create an Application Password in WordPress

   In WordPress, open Users → Profile (or your user profile screen). Create an Application Password, name it something recognisable such as “QueueWrite”, and copy the generated password.

3. 3
   Enter connection details in QueueWrite

   Open Settings → Publishing. Enter the site URL, your WordPress username, and the Application Password.

4. 4
   Test, then Test & Save

   Use Test to confirm QueueWrite can reach the site and load authors/categories. When the test succeeds, use Test & Save. QueueWrite stores the Application Password in this Mac’s Keychain.

5. 5
   Choose a default publishing action

   Pick whether QueueWrite should default to draft, publish, or schedule for that project. You can still choose the action when publishing an individual article.

Images when Contextual Images is enabled

• Selected article images are uploaded into the site’s WordPress Media Library
• The primary (hero) image can be set as the WordPress featured image
• Inline contextual images use the uploaded WordPress media URLs in the published post
• Alt text and credit/caption information are sent with the media where supported
• If an image was already uploaded and saved on the article, QueueWrite reuses that media on later publish attempts instead of uploading again

See Using Contextual Images and Pexels Setup for how images are chosen before publishing.

Requirements

• A WordPress site with the REST API available
