ProjectHQ plans, writes and schedules articles for your blog. This plugin is how they reach WordPress: when an article is ready, ProjectHQ sends it here and it is published as a normal post.
- The post goes out under the author and in the category you choose.
- Images are added to your Media Library, and the cover becomes the featured image.
- The meta description and focus keyword land in the fields your SEO plugin uses: Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress and All in One SEO are supported. Without an SEO plugin, the plugin prints the meta description itself.
- Updating an article in ProjectHQ updates the same post. Its address, date, author and categories stay as they are.
- ProjectHQ can only change posts it published. Posts you wrote yourself are out of its reach, and so is the rest of your site: it never signs in as anyone and cannot change settings, users, plugins or themes.
There are no passwords to create. You copy one key from Settings ProjectHQ into ProjectHQ, and every request is signed with it.
You need a ProjectHQ account (https://projecthq.pro) to use this plugin.
External services
This plugin connects your site to ProjectHQ (https://projecthq.pro), an SEO and content service run by ProjectHQ. It is what publishes your articles here; without a ProjectHQ account the plugin does nothing.
The plugin itself makes no outbound requests. ProjectHQ’s servers call the plugin’s REST routes on your site (under /wp-json/projecthq/v1/), signed with the connection key:
- When you connect, and before publishing, ProjectHQ reads a status report: the plugin, WordPress and PHP versions, your site’s name and address, which SEO plugin is active, and the name of the author and category articles are published under.
- When an article is published or updated in ProjectHQ, its title, content, excerpt, meta description, focus keyword and images are sent to your site, and the post’s ID and address are sent back to ProjectHQ.
- When an article is unpublished in ProjectHQ, the post’s ID is sent and the post becomes a draft.
No data about your visitors is collected or sent.
