Connect your WordPress
CDE publishes to WordPress through an application password or the CDE Connector plugin. On every publish it sends the article in HTML, the author, the markup and the direct answer; afterwards it checks that the page is live, indexed and correctly marked up.
Before you start
- WordPress 6.0 or newer, with the REST API enabled (the default).
- A user with permission to publish, ideally dedicated to CDE.
- An application password generated in that user's profile.
Connecting
- In CDE, open the site and choose WordPress as the publishing method.
- Enter the site address, the user and the application password.
- Use the connection test: it confirms access and permission to publish before anything is sent.
What goes out on every publish
- Title, HTML content and excerpt (the article's direct answer).
- The author: the expert who signs, with their authority page.
- The markup for the article, the author and the FAQ.
- An idempotency key, so a resend never creates a duplicate.
If it fails
- The delivery is retried on its own, with growing waits between attempts.
- If it persists, the article returns to the queue with the cause recorded — it never sits as "published" while being offline.
- A credential or permission error shows up in the connection test before it becomes a publishing failure.
