OrganicStack

<p>OrganicStack Publisher provides a comprehensive REST API for automated WordPress content publishing. It enables external applications (including OrganicStack) to publish posts, manage media, handle categories and tags, create authors, and manage content programmatically through a secure API key authentication system.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>REST API Endpoints</strong> – Complete set of REST API endpoints for WordPress content management</li>
<li><strong>API Key Authentication</strong> – Secure API key-based authentication instead of WordPress application passwords</li>
<li><strong>Post Publishing</strong> – Publish single posts or bulk publish multiple posts at once</li>
<li><strong>Media Management</strong> – Upload images via base64 or URL with automatic optimization</li>
<li><strong>Category & Tag Management</strong> – Get, create, and manage categories and tags</li>
<li><strong>Author Management</strong> – Create authors and manage author profiles with custom avatars</li>
<li><strong>SEO Support</strong> – Built-in support for Yoast SEO and RankMath meta fields</li>
<li><strong>Custom Meta Fields</strong> – Support for custom post meta fields</li>
<li><strong>CORS Support</strong> – Built-in CORS handling for cross-origin requests</li>
<li><strong>Site Information</strong> – Get detailed site information including WordPress version, PHP version, and more</li>
</ul>
<h4>Security Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>API key authentication with secure key generation</li>
<li>Input sanitization and validation on all endpoints</li>
<li>Proper permission checks for all operations</li>
<li>Secure file upload handling</li>
</ul>
<h4>Data Integrity (Multi-Tenant) – CRITICAL</h4>
<ul>
<li>Author avatars are time-consuming to create. They MUST NEVER be removed by a plugin update.</li>
<li>This plugin ONLY manages OrganicStack avatars (organicstack_avatar_id, organicstack_created).</li>
<li>We NEVER delete, remove, or modify any author/avatar data from WordPress or other plugins.</li>
<li>Gravatar, Simple Local Avatars, User Avatar, and all other avatar systems are UNTOUCHED.</li>
<li>See AVATAR_POLICY.md – violating this causes hundreds of lost avatars and customer complaints.</li>
</ul>

OrganicStack Publisher

Clean API for automated WordPress content publishing with AI integration support. Designed for use with OrganicStack.

postnext

<p><strong>PostNext turns your WordPress blog into a hands-off content engine.</strong></p>
<p>You set up a content plan once in the PostNext app — start date, duration, posting cadence, language, and competitive intent — and the AI researches, writes, and ships articles to your WordPress site for the whole run. No copy-paste, no manual scheduling, no batch-generate-and-pray.</p>
<h4>Plan it once, ship it daily</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Multi-day content plans</strong> — choose 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or “Until I stop”. Set a start date and PostNext keeps the pipeline flowing.</li>
<li><strong>Publish hour window (UTC)</strong> — pick the hour range when posts should go live (e.g. 08–19 UTC). Each article publishes at a random minute inside the window, so your blog cadence reads as human, not bot.</li>
<li><strong>Content language</strong> — write natively in your audience’s language; not machine-translated from English.</li>
<li><strong>Auto-publish to WordPress</strong> — publish posts automatically when generated, or leave off to land them as drafts for review.</li>
<li><strong>Auto-promote on social media</strong> — create social posts to promote each blog post (managed in the PostNext app).</li>
<li><strong>Competitor domains (optional)</strong> — enter competitor websites to discover content gaps. One domain per line, max 10. PostNext finds keywords and topics they rank for and you don’t, then writes content to close the gap.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What the plugin does inside WordPress</h4>
<ul>
<li>Receives articles from PostNext via a secure REST API</li>
<li>Downloads and stores all images in your Media Library (deduplicated by source URL)</li>
<li>Sets SEO metadata for Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO, and SEOPress</li>
<li>Tracks every synced article on a built-in dashboard with status and date</li>
<li>Supports draft-first or direct-publish workflows</li>
<li>Works on single sites and WordPress Multisite networks (per-site tracking + settings)</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
