Vireloop publishes to WordPress through the REST API, authenticating with an Application Password — a dedicated credential you can revoke at any time without changing your login.

1. Create an Application Password

  1. In WordPress admin, go to Users → Profile (or edit the user Vireloop should publish as).
  2. Scroll to Application Passwords, enter a name like Vireloop, and click Add New Application Password.
  3. Copy the generated password (shown once). Keep your username handy too.

The user needs permission to create posts and upload media (Author, Editor, or Administrator).

2. Connect in Vireloop

  1. Onboarding Integration step → WordPress, or Sites → Add site.
  2. Enter your WordPress URL, username, and the Application Password.
  3. Click Test connection — Vireloop calls /wp-json/wp/v2/users/me to verify the credentials.

3. How publishing works

  • The featured image is uploaded to /wp-json/wp/v2/media, then attached to the post.
  • The post is created at /wp-json/wp/v2/posts with title, content, excerpt, slug, and status.
  • Status is draft until you approve, then publish.
  • If Yoast or Rank Math is installed, the SEO title and meta description are written to their fields; otherwise that step is skipped gracefully.
