How the connection works
What Rankdesk does inside WordPress
Push based over the WordPress REST API with an application password.
What you need first
- WordPress 5.6 or newer, served over https
- Pretty permalinks on, anything other than Plain
- An editor or admin user with an application password
Good to know
- Security plugins such as Wordfence can block REST writes. Allow the Rankdesk user agent if posts fail.
- Page builders like Elementor keep their own copy of the content, so builder layouts are not applied.
