WordPress

WordPress publishing creates a post on your site, with the body rendered to clean HTML.

Connecting

Two ways in:

• Self-hosted site: install the FoPost plugin and connect with the token it issues. The plugin is the supported path for self-hosted sites.
• WordPress.com: Accounts → Connect → WordPress, approve on WordPress.com, and pick the site there. The token is scoped to that one site and does not expire.

What you can publish

The first attached image is uploaded to the site's media library and set as the post's featured image; images placed in the body render inline. Per post you can publish live (the default) or as a draft. On a plugin connection, the site's own policy can downgrade a publish to a draft. The post's status reflects what the site actually did.

Managing posts already on the site

The site's own posts are readable and writable, whether FoPost created them or you wrote them in wp-admin.

• List every post on the site, drafts and pending ones included, newest first
• Read one post in full
• Create a new post
• Update a live post in place. Only the fields you send change, and the post is addressed by its WordPress id, so an edit never leaves a duplicate behind
• Delete a post from the site

Ask the agent for "what's on the blog" to list them, and see Blogs and articles for the API. WordPress has one implicit blog, which the API reports under the id default.

Inbox

Approved comments on the site land in the inbox, and you can reply from there.

Analytics

None: a stock WordPress site has no metrics API to read.

Deleting

Deleting the post in FoPost deletes it on the site permanently, bypassing the trash. This cannot be undone.
