Publish to WordPress directly from your pipeline.

Newsmill connects to any self-hosted WordPress site or WordPress.com installation via the REST API. Articles flow from your pipeline directly into WordPress as drafts or published posts — with categories, featured images, and custom fields intact.

Overview

The WordPress integration authenticates with a dedicated, revocable credential — a secure, token-based method that does not require sharing your main login. You can disconnect a connection at any time without affecting your other integrations or your admin access, and it works with self-hosted WordPress and WordPress.com alike.

Once connected, Newsmill pushes articles to WordPress via the WP REST API. You control how content arrives: as drafts for editorial review, as scheduled posts for timed publication, or as immediately published articles for real-time pipelines. Category and tag mapping ensures content lands in the right section of your site without manual intervention.

For publishers running multiple WordPress sites — a common setup for niche media companies — Newsmill supports multi-site configurations. Each pipeline can target a different WordPress installation, allowing you to manage a portfolio of sites from a single Newsmill dashboard.

Setup guide

1. Connect your WordPress site

Add your site in Newsmill and authenticate with a secure, revocable credential — no need to share your main password. Newsmill verifies the connection before you publish anything.

2. Choose how content arrives

Decide whether articles land as drafts for review, scheduled posts, or immediate publishes, and set the default category and featured-image behavior.

3. Route categories and sites

Send different pipelines to different categories — or different WordPress sites — so each content stream lands exactly where it belongs.

4. Assign to a pipeline

Select WordPress as a publishing destination for any pipeline. Articles that pass through publish automatically, according to your settings.

Advanced configuration & troubleshooting

Newsmill works with self-hosted WordPress, WordPress.com, and managed hosts. Authentication uses a dedicated credential you can revoke at any time, independent of your other logins.

Delivery is resilient: transient failures are retried automatically, and any permanent errors surface in your dashboard delivery log so you can resolve them quickly.

Running a portfolio of sites? Point each pipeline at a different WordPress installation and manage them all from a single Newsmill account.
