ContentGecko Connector

ContentGecko Connector exposes a secure REST API that the ContentGecko platform can use to synchronise posts, pages, product data, and translations with WordPress and WooCommerce. Access is protected by a shared API key, optional IP allow-listing, and tight capability checks inside wp-admin. The plugin stores minimal data, leans on WordPress core APIs, and keeps logging opt-in so your site remains lightweight.

Key features:

• Publish or update posts and pages through /wp-json/contentgecko/v1 while sanitising content and metadata through WordPress core helpers.
• Map multilingual content to WPML or Polylang, automatically linking translations and respecting the site’s default language.
• Provide product, category, and catalog feeds when WooCommerce is active (gracefully failing when it is not).
• Sideload remote featured images using WordPress core upload handlers (mime restricted) and reuse existing attachments when possible.
• Optional debug log that persists the last 50 REST calls and mirrors high-level telemetry inside the wp-admin settings screen.

The admin settings page lives under Settings → ContentGecko Connector where administrators can generate API keys, toggle logging, view recent requests, and confirm the /health endpoint matches the WordPress environment.
