WordPress Integration

The ZyVOP WordPress adapter uses the standard WordPress REST API (/wp-json/wp/v2/posts) with secure Application Passwords to publish directly to WordPress sites.

How ZyVOP Formats for WordPressCopy Anchor Link

1. Gutenberg-Compatible HTMLCopy Anchor Link

ZyVOP translates your Markdown into semantic HTML with proper paragraph, header, and preformatted code tags compatible with the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) and Classic Editor.

2. Mermaid Diagram SupportCopy Anchor Link

Mermaid diagrams are automatically rendered to high-resolution vector SVG embeds before injection into the WordPress content block.

3. Attribution and Canonical MetadataCopy Anchor Link

ZyVOP appends a visible attribution link to the published article. The current WordPress adapter does not write core canonical metadata or plugin-specific fields for Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or All in One SEO. Configure the canonical URL in WordPress or your SEO plugin when WordPress should not be the preferred version.

4. Updating Published ArticlesCopy Anchor Link

ZyVOP tracks the WordPress post ID. Updating an article in ZyVOP executes a PUT request to /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/<id>, keeping your WordPress post up-to-date while preserving the original slug and permalink.
