Vectoron

Vectoron provides three main features:
1. REST API Endpoints
Secure REST API endpoints for external content management, perfect for integrating with automation platforms like Superblocks, Zapier, or custom applications.
<ul>
<li>Create and update posts programmatically</li>
<li>Manage categories</li>
<li>Upload media (file upload, base64, or URL)</li>
<li>Full authentication support (Basic Auth or custom headers)</li>
</ul>
2. Content Shortcodes
The <code>[vectoron_article]</code> shortcode provides:
<ul>
<li>Automatic wpautop disabling for custom HTML content</li>
<li>Built-in GA4 event tracking</li>
<li>FAQ accordion styling support</li>
</ul>
3. ACF Integration
Automatically sync post content to Advanced Custom Fields:
<ul>
<li>Settings page under Settings > Vectoron</li>
<li>Auto-detect WYSIWYG fields in ACF field groups</li>
<li>Support for Flexible Content, Repeaters, and Groups</li>
<li>ACF sync triggered by Vectoron API or X-Vectoron-Sync header</li>
<li>Works with both custom Vectoron API and native WP REST API</li>
</ul>
4. Page Builder Integrations
Seamless integration with popular WordPress page builders:
<ul>
<li>Elementor: Auto-sync content to Elementor’s text-editor widgets</li>
<li>Beaver Builder: Auto-sync content to Beaver Builder’s rich-text modules</li>
<li>DIVI: Auto-sync content to DIVI’s shortcode format (sections, rows, columns, text modules)</li>
<li>WP Bakery: Auto-sync content to WP Bakery’s shortcode format (rows, columns, column_text)</li>
<li>Configurable sync modes: Auto (detect existing builder posts), Always (convert all posts), or Disabled</li>
<li>Cache clearing for immediate visual updates</li>
</ul>
5. SEO Plugin Integrations
Automatic SEO metadata sync with popular SEO plugins:
<ul>
<li>Yoast SEO: Sync meta description, SEO title, and focus keyword</li>
<li>SEOpress: Sync meta description, SEO title, and target keyword</li>
<li>Rank Math: Sync meta description, SEO title, and focus keyword</li>
<li>All SEO fields set via API are automatically synced to the active SEO plugin</li>
</ul>
<h3>API Endpoints</h3>
All endpoints use the namespace <code>vectoron/v1</code>:
<ul>
<li><code>POST /wp-json/vectoron/v1/posts</code> – Create a new post</li>
<li><code>PUT /wp-json/vectoron/v1/posts/{id}</code> – Update an existing post</li>
<li><code>POST /wp-json/vectoron/v1/categories</code> – Create a category</li>
<li><code>POST /wp-json/vectoron/v1/media</code> – Upload media</li>
<li><code>GET /wp-json/vectoron/v1/status</code> – Health check (no auth required)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Authentication</h3>
Three authentication methods are supported:
<ol>
<li>HTTP Basic Auth – Standard username:password</li>
<li>Authorization Header – <code>Authorization: Basic <base64></code></li>
<li>Custom Headers – <code>X-WP-Username</code> and <code>X-WP-Password</code></li>
</ol>
<h3>ACF Sync Header</h3>
When using the native WordPress REST API (<code>/wp-json/wp/v2/posts</code>) instead of the Vectoron custom API, you can trigger ACF sync by adding the <code>X-Vectoron-Sync</code> header:
<pre><code>X-Vectoron-Sync: true
</code></pre>
This is useful when:
<ul>
<li>You want to use WordPress’s native post creation/update endpoints</li>
<li>Your integration already uses the WP REST API</li>
<li>You need features only available in the native API</li>
</ul>
Without this header, native WP REST API requests will NOT trigger ACF sync, ensuring Gutenberg and other WordPress interfaces don’t interfere with ACF content.
<h3>Security Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Rate limiting (60 requests/minute per IP)</li>
<li>Capability-based permission checks</li>
<li>SSRF protection for URL uploads</li>
<li>Input sanitization and validation</li>
<li>Protected meta key filtering</li>
</ul>

A WordPress REST API plugin for external content management with authenticated API endpoints, GA4 tracking shortcodes, and ACF integration.

This simple plugin adds Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to your WordPress site using your Measurement ID. Additional features include the ability to change the tracking code position, disabling display features, anonymize IP, and excluding roles from tracking.
Note: Universal Analytics (UA-) was discontinued by Google on July 1, 2023. This plugin still supports UA tracking IDs for backwards compatibility, but we recommend migrating to Google Analytics 4 (G-XXXXXXXX) for active tracking.
