Manage your self-hosted WordPress site from ChatGPT or Claude with WPWriter. Ask WPWriter to draft, edit or schedule posts, update SEO fields and add media to your site.
YLabs AI Site Manager is the WordPress connector for WPWriter, a service made by YLabs. The plugin pairs your site with your WPWriter account so that WPWriter can carry out the content requests you make.
WPWriter is made by YLabs and is not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic or the WordPress Foundation. ChatGPT, Claude and WordPress are trademarks of their owners.
WPWriter uses a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model: connect your OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), or Google (Gemini) API key and pay the AI providers directly at their standard rates. You keep full control over your AI costs.
With auto-blogging, build a topic queue, choose your templates and AI models, schedule content runs, and control whether completed posts stay as drafts or publish only after configured quality checks pass.
A free WPWriter account includes 15 AI-generated posts and 20 AI-generated images. No credit card required.

What WPWriter Can and Cannot Do on Your Site
WPWriter acts as the WordPress user you pair with, but always with the limits below, even if that user is an Administrator.
WPWriter can:
- create, edit, schedule, publish and delete posts and pages
- upload and edit media, and manage categories, tags and comments
- save full HTML in posts and pages (styles, embeds and structured data), as a WordPress Editor can
- edit menus, menu locations and widgets
- read the active theme and which SEO plugin is installed, and save SEO fields on posts
- edit WooCommerce products, if WooCommerce is installed
- read the site display settings, and change them only when you pair as an Administrator (site title, tagline, homepage settings, posts per page, date and time format, timezone, week start, site icon, site logo, default comment and ping status)
WPWriter cannot:
- install, activate, update, edit or delete plugins or themes, or update WordPress
- create, edit, delete or list users, or change anyone’s role
- change any other setting, such as the admin email, membership, permalinks or search engine visibility
- read passwords, API keys or other stored secrets from your site
- edit theme or plugin files, upload unfiltered file types, or import or export site data
Security
- Token-based authentication — no WordPress passwords stored or transmitted
- Pairing codes expire after 10 minutes
- Each connection can be individually revoked
- All API requests are authenticated and validated
- Supports multiple simultaneous WPWriter account connections
- Every WPWriter request is limited to content work, even for an Administrator: the plugin removes plugin, theme, update, user, file, import/export, unfiltered upload and general-settings capabilities for the duration of each request
- No stored secret ever leaves the site: there is no endpoint that reads API keys or passwords
- The plugin respects a host or security plugin that turns off WordPress Application Passwords
External Service Disclosure
This plugin connects to WPWriter (wpwriter.com) to enable content management features. When connected:
- Your site URL and connector authentication details are associated with your WPWriter account so authenticated site-management requests can be made
- Content you create, sync, publish, or schedule through auto-blogging is transmitted between WPWriter and your WordPress site as required to perform those actions
- The plugin never sends passwords, API keys or other stored secrets from your site to WPWriter
