Frequently Asked Questions

How does publishing to WordPress work through Claude Code?

Upload-Post handles the WordPress REST API behind a simple interface. When you tell Claude Code to publish a post, the skill sends your content to the Upload-Post API, which creates the post on your site using your application password. The post goes live just as if you published it from the WordPress admin dashboard.

Does it work with self-hosted and WordPress.com sites?

Yes. Because you connect with your site URL and an application password, the integration works with self-hosted WordPress installations as well as WordPress.com sites, as long as the REST API is available. You are not tied to a single hosting provider.

How do I authenticate with WordPress?

WordPress through Upload-Post uses an application password together with your site URL and username. Application passwords are scoped credentials you generate in your WordPress user profile, so you never expose your main login and can revoke the credential at any time.

What media formats does the WordPress integration support?

WordPress through Upload-Post supports text posts, photo posts (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP), and video posts. Images and video are uploaded to your media library, and you can set a featured image and embed media inside the post body.

Can I cross-post to WordPress and other platforms simultaneously?

Yes. Upload-Post supports multi-platform publishing in a single API call. Include multiple platforms in your request, such as platform[]=wordpress&platform[]=linkedin&platform[]=x, and your content is published to all of them at once. Each platform receives properly formatted content that respects its specific requirements.
