## Description
**BlogSEO** connects your WordPress site to [BlogSEO](https://blogseo.io), an AI-
powered SEO platform that researches keywords, generates ranking-ready articles,
builds backlinks, and publishes content to your blog on autopilot.
#### Features
* **One-click pairing** — connect from your BlogSEO dashboard without copying API
keys.
* **Auto-publish or manual** — articles appear on your site as live posts or drafts
for review, your choice.
* **Featured and inline images** — downloaded into your WordPress media library,
no hotlinking.
* **SEO meta filled in** — meta title, description, focus keyword, OG/Twitter,
and schema for Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, and Squirrly.
* **Works on locked-down hosts** — Hostinger, Wordfence, Really Simple Security,
Patchstack, and firewalled environments where Application Passwords break.
* **Lightweight** — no front-end scripts, no database tables, no admin nags.
#### How it works
1. Install and activate this plugin.
2. Open **Settings BlogSEO** and click **Connect to BlogSEO**.
3. Confirm the pairing in your BlogSEO dashboard — you’ll be redirected back automatically.
4. Articles generated in BlogSEO start publishing to your site based on your dashboard
settings.
#### Requirements
* WordPress 5.6 or higher
* PHP 7.4 or higher
* A BlogSEO account ([sign up at blogseo.io](https://blogseo.io))
#### Privacy
This plugin communicates with the BlogSEO service to receive article content for
publishing. It sends only operational data — your site URL, plugin/WordPress/PHP
versions, and the list of categories, tags, and post types you’ve configured (only
when those change). It does **not** send post content, user data, or analytics.
By installing this plugin and connecting it to your BlogSEO account, you agree to
BlogSEO’s [Terms of Service](https://www.blogseo.io/tos).
### External services
This plugin connects to the BlogSEO API (`https://app.blogseo.io`) to authenticate
the connection and receive article content generated in your BlogSEO account, so
it can be published to your WordPress site.
The plugin sends the following data to BlogSEO:
* During the initial pairing: a one-time pairing token and your site URL, to establish
the connection.
* On every connection check (~once every 30 minutes): your site URL, WordPress
version, PHP version, and the plugin version, to confirm the connection is alive.
* When you add or remove categories, tags, or post types on your WordPress site:
the updated list, so the BlogSEO dashboard knows which targets are available.
* When BlogSEO can’t reach your site directly (firewalled host): a pull request
asking BlogSEO for any queued articles, followed by a short confirmation (`wp_post_id`,`
wp_post_link`, or error message) once each one is published locally.
The plugin does not send post content, user data, comments, or analytics. There
is no third-party tracking.
This service is provided by BlogSEO, Inc.: [Terms of Service](https://www.blogseo.io/tos),
[Privacy Policy](https://www.blogseo.io/privacy).
## Installation
#### Recommended (one-click pairing)
1. In your BlogSEO dashboard, go to **Integrations WordPress** and choose **Connect
via BlogSEO Plugin**.
2. Download the plugin zip from the dashboard, then upload it via **Plugins Add New
Upload Plugin** and activate it.
3. The plugin’s setup screen will appear under **Settings BlogSEO**. Click **Connect
to BlogSEO**.
4. You’ll be redirected to the BlogSEO dashboard once to confirm the pairing, then
back to your site. The connection is now active.
## FAQ
### Do I need a BlogSEO account?
Yes. This plugin is the WordPress connector for the BlogSEO platform. [Sign up at blogseo.io](https://blogseo.io).
### Is my API key secure?
Yes. The key is hashed (SHA-256) before storage and verified with timing-safe comparison.
The plugin never logs it, never displays it back in the admin UI, and never sends
it to a third party.
### Can I review articles before publishing?
Yes. In your BlogSEO dashboard you can set articles to publish as drafts so you
can review and edit them in WordPress before going live.
### What SEO plugins are supported?
Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, and Squirrly. The plugin automatically
writes meta title, meta description, focus keyword, OG/Twitter cards, and schema
for whichever you have active.
### Does this plugin work with page builders?
Yes. The plugin publishes standard WordPress posts that work with any theme or page
builder.
### How do I uninstall?
Deactivate from **Plugins Installed Plugins**. To remove all stored options, choose**
Delete** from the plugin row — the uninstall hook clears every `blogseo_*` option
the plugin sets.
## Reviews
### [High quality articles, images, and best support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/high-quality-articles-images-and-best-support/)
[Clifford Paulick](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cliffpaulick/) July 16, 2026
I’ve tried multiple automated article generators. This is the best easy option.
The plugin itself has almost no settings – all handled on their website. They have
options for customizing the articles to target your desired keywords and brand.
It’s one article per day and can automatically publish, set to Draft status, and
choose which user should be set as the Author. Their website chat support has been
excellent, receptive of my feedback, ideas, and multiple questions.

## Changelog
#### 1.1.4
* Images downloaded by the cron pull-fallback now get an SEO-friendly filename
derived from their alt text (the article headline for cover images) plus a timestamp,
instead of the generic image-0.webp / main-image.webp basenames. Already-imported
images are not renamed.
#### 1.1.3
* You can now choose which WordPress user (Administrator, Editor or Author) is
set as the author of posts created by the plugin. Pick the author from the BlogSEO
dashboard under WordPress integration Update Configuration. Applies to both
the push endpoint and the cron pull-fallback; existing posts are not modified.
#### 1.1.2
* Posts created by the plugin (both the push endpoint and the cron pull-fallback)
now get a real author instead of “no author”: the admin who paired the plugin,
falling back to the site’s oldest administrator. Existing posts are not modified.
#### 1.1.1
* SEO: the canonical URL is no longer pinned to the post’s temporary draft URL (
the “?p=” form). It’s left to your SEO plugin (Rank Math, Yoast, All in One SEO,
SEOPress) to derive from the published permalink, so search engines index the
post’s real, pretty URL.
* Media library: sync now serves a larger preview thumbnail, so images in the BlogSEO
media browser look sharp instead of pixelated.
#### 1.1.0
* Media library: adds a read-only endpoint so BlogSEO can browse this site’s image
library and let you assign your own images to articles instead of AI-generated
ones.
* Reliability: tightened the poll’s per-run time budget and sized each image download
to the remaining budget, so on hosts that run wp-cron inline (ALTERNATE_WP_CRON)
a single poll can’t make a page wait — work is kept to short, bounded steps and
the rest is deferred to the next run.
#### 1.0.5
* Reliability: each poll now processes articles within a fixed time budget and
defers the rest to the next run, so a large image backlog can never tie up a
PHP worker. Deferred articles are picked up on the following poll — nothing is
dropped.
#### 1.0.4
* Security: hardened release packaging to exclude internal build artifacts from
the distributed plugin zip.
#### 1.0.3
* Poll-fallback reliability: when the WordPress cron loopback is blocked by a firewall/
CDN (e.g. Cloudflare challenging requests to the site), the plugin now detects
the stalled cron and routes its scheduled poll through a localhost loopback so
queued articles still publish. Sites where cron already works are unaffected.
#### 1.0.2
* Pull-fallback: render server-provided HTML directly instead of running it through
the local markdown converter. Fixes raw markdown ending up in published posts
on hosts without Parsedown.
* Pull-fallback: sideload inline `![]()
` images into the WordPress media library
so they’re no longer hotlinked from BlogSEO.
#### 1.0.1
* Initial release.
