RankOak

RankOak Connect links your WordPress site to <a href="https://rankoak.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">RankOak</a>, an SEO content platform that drafts and publishes articles for you. After you install this plugin:
<ol>
<li>Open RankOak Connect in your WordPress admin and click Generate API key.</li>
<li>Copy the key from the pop-up (you only see the full key once).</li>
<li>Paste it into RankOak when connecting your site.</li>
</ol>
RankOak then calls your site’s REST API using that key to create posts (and optional tags). This plugin does not create WordPress application passwords or add custom login flows — you stay in control with a revocable site key.
What this plugin does
<ul>
<li>RankOak Connect admin screen: Generate / regenerate / revoke a site API key</li>
<li>A read-only public REST check so RankOak can see the plugin is active (<code>/wp-json/rankoak/v1/ping</code>)</li>
<li>Authenticated REST routes protected by the API key (e.g. verify identity, create posts) when you connect from RankOak</li>
</ul>
Who should use it
Site administrators who use RankOak and want a one-key connection similar to other SaaS “generate API key in WordPress” plugins.
Privacy
This plugin does not send analytics to RankOak. Your site is contacted by RankOak’s servers when you have saved an API key in RankOak and use RankOak features that publish to WordPress, as described under External services.

PublisherDesk

This is a WordPress plugin for clients of The Publisher Desk, intended to automatically propagate changes made to The Publisher Desk’s ads.txt file to client websites, while letting them add/retain custom lines as desired.
<h3>Functionality</h3>
This plugin provides management of the ads.txt file (Authorized Digital Sellers), an initiative from IAB Technology Laboratory, geared towards client of The Publisher Desk. Because the administration of a file outside the wordpress directory can pose challenges depending on the WP/Server configuration, the plugin decides on installation whether to use an actual ads.txt file in the root of the domain, or a quasi-ads.txt file built through a WP option and responding to a server request for “/ads.txt” by providing the contents of that option (containing both custom lines and those associated with TPD’s centralalized list).
Troubleshooting an installation: 
If you already have an ads.txt file present on your site, the plugin will rename it to ads-txt-original.txt on installation, and re-rename that file back on de-installation. If your site’s wordpress instance doesn’t have access to files outside of its installation directory and you already have an ads.txt file, the plugin won’t be able to dislodge the existing file and allow the management of the one it creates. You can check whether this has happened if you check your site’s ads.txt file directly (site.com/ads.txt) and there’s no line reading: 
 “### END TPD ADS TXT ###” 
a line that is used by the plugin to demarcate custom entries and The Publisher Desk’s. If this is the case, please deactivate the plugin, rename or remove your existing file, re-activate, and check the file again (you might have to refresh several times depending on caching). If you still don’t see that line and the file looks the same as before the update, please reach out to TPD for assistance.
Final Note: it’s good practice to have a backup of your custom ads.txt lines. We have functionality for retaining your custom lines on plugin updates/re-installs, but it’s good to make sure since it can be a big pain to recollect entries if you lose them.
