WiloAI

Beskrivning

Connect your WordPress site to the WiloAI platform to create blog content with AI and publish it to your site. The platform handles content creation; this lightweight connector extends the WordPress REST API with SEO metadata support for Rank Math and Yoast SEO.

Authenticated clients use WordPress’s standard REST API to create and publish posts. WiloAI adds three unified SEO fields on posts, pages and REST-enabled custom post types:

• meta_title
• meta_description
• focus_keyword

Rank Math and Yoast SEO are supported. When both are active, Rank Math takes precedence; installing both together is not recommended. All in One SEO is not supported in version 1.0. Without a supported SEO plugin, the SEO fields are not registered; the backup route remains available.

Use WiloAI to manage your content workflow, or use the connector with another authenticated REST API client. The plugin itself does not generate content, run an automatic publishing schedule, send data to WiloAI, or store API credentials. A WiloAI account is only needed to use the WiloAI platform, not the connector’s REST fields or backup endpoint.

The optional backup route queues a database-only backup through UpdraftPlus. UpdraftPlus must be active, and WordPress cron must be able to execute scheduled jobs. A queued request does not confirm that a backup has started or completed. Files, uploads, themes and plugins are not included. UpdraftPlus uses the site’s configured remote storage and retention settings; verify the resulting backup in UpdraftPlus.

Security and permissions

SEO writes require the authenticated user to have edit_post for the particular target post. WordPress also enforces its normal creation, publication and post-type permissions. An author can normally edit their own posts, an editor can edit other authors’ posts, and subscribers and anonymous users cannot write SEO data. The focus keyword is hidden from users who cannot edit the post. SEO title and description can be read wherever WordPress allows reading that post.

Values must be strings. HTML is removed, and the SEO plugin may normalize values further (for example, Yoast removes line breaks from descriptions). An empty string clears the corresponding custom value. Repeating the same value is accepted.

Backups require manage_options, normally held by administrators, and are POST-only. SEO access does not grant backup access. A pending backup request blocks another request, and accepted requests impose a ten-minute site-wide cooldown. These checks do not grant new roles or capabilities. Use separate SEO and backup credentials when possible: an administrator’s Application Password has broad WordPress access, not just backup access.

For cookie-authenticated browser requests, WordPress requires its normal REST nonce. Remote Application Password authentication uses WordPress’s standard authentication mechanisms; WiloAI adds no alternative authentication bypass.

API examples

Use the same JSON field names for both SEO plugins. The examples below contain no credentials; supply authentication in the HTTP Authorization header through your client’s secure credential store.

Update an existing post:

POST /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/123

{ "meta_title": "Example title", "meta_description": "Example description", "focus_keyword": "example keyword" }

Read editable metadata:

GET /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/123?context=edit

Pages use /wp-json/wp/v2/pages/123. Custom post types use their registered REST base. Standard WordPress post creation can include these fields as well.

Request a database backup:

POST /wp-json/wiloai/v1/updraft-backup

No request body is required. A successful queue operation returns HTTP 202:

{ "status": "queued", "backup_type": "database" }

Backup errors: HTTP 401 for anonymous callers, 403 for insufficient capability, 429 for a pending request or cooldown, 503 when UpdraftPlus database backup support is unavailable, and 500 if scheduling fails. SEO uses WordPress’s normal REST errors; invalid SEO values return HTTP 400.
