Want to turn your video content pieces into blog posts? Great! ContentFries can help you do just that.
How to set up the integration?
STEP 1: Click the "Context" button on your dashboard.
STEP 2: In the Contexts section, click the "Edit" button in the WordPress Blog context.
STEP 3: Click the "Add integration" button in the Integration section.
STEP 4: Download the JSON Basic Authentication WordPress plugin. This is the same plugin that is used by the widely popular automation service called Integromat, which is like Zapier on steroids.
You need to install and activate this plugin created by the WordPress REST API Team in order to allow ContentFries to post blog posts on your behalf.
PLEASE NOTE: In the future, we will release our own plugin to make the integration simpler and more powerful.
STEP 5: Install and activate the plugin in the admin section of your WordPress blog
STEP 6: Go back to ContentFries and finish the integration.
In the WordPress site URL field enter your domain URL WITHOUT the /wp-admin. Do not add anything after the domain name.
In the Username and Password fields, add a username and password of anyone with Admin, Moderator, or Author WordPress role. You don't have to pass admin credentials as we use only blog posts related API endpoints in our integration.
If everything is done correctly, you will see the Success message appear. Please make sure you pass the correct credentials, otherwise, the integration will not work.
Done! If you would like to test your integration, follow the steps below.
How to publish an article through the integration
Your WordPress blog is now connected and you can publish your blog posts directly from ContentFries. How do you do that?
STEP 1: In the context editor, click the "EXPORT" column in the Captions tool. Then, click "Publish to WordPress".
STEP 2: Choose WordPress integration and set your title, slug, content, etc. We recommend that you set your status to "DRAFT" if you're testing the integration for the first time, so you can see how it works.
For now, you need to set your categories, tags and featured images in WordPress manually, but we will add support for these options soon.
Don't miss the "**Load captions**" button, where you can add your video transcript into your blog post content with just one click.
