Publish to WordPress or Notion

ArloSEO publishes finished drafts to the places you actually write — no copy‑paste, no formatting cleanup. Here’s how to wire each one up.

WordPress (one‑click publish)

ArloSEO uses WordPress Application Passwords — the official, recommended way for third‑party apps to publish. It’s available on any self‑hosted WordPress 5.6+ install (and most managed hosts).

Step 1 — Generate an Application Password

1. Log into your WordPress admin.
2. Go to Users → Profile.
3. Scroll to Application Passwords.
4. Name it ArloSEO and click Add New.
5. Copy the password WordPress shows you (it’s only displayed once).

Step 2 — Connect inside ArloSEO

1. In ArloSEO, open the project and go to Settings → Integrations.
2. Click Connect WordPress.
3. Paste your site URL, username, and the application password from step 1.
4. Hit Save — Arlo will verify the connection and pull your default category list.

Step 3 — Publish a draft

From any draft in the Content Studio:

1. Click Publish → WordPress.
2. Pick the category, tags, and status (draft or publish).
3. Confirm.

The post lands in WordPress with your title, meta description (as Yoast/Rank Math compatible meta), featured image (if set), and full rich content. The publish gets logged in your dashboard’s Publish History.

Common WordPress issues

• “401 Unauthorized” — application passwords disabled. Check that REST API isn’t blocked by a security plugin.
• “403 Forbidden” — the user account doesn’t have publish_posts capability. Use an editor or administrator account.
• HTML looks weird — your theme is probably stripping classes. ArloSEO uses block‑editor‑safe HTML by default; toggle “Classic editor mode” in integration settings if you’re on a legacy theme.

Notion (copy‑paste, zero config)

Notion doesn’t have a stable public API for arbitrary page injection, so Arlo gives you the next best thing: clean, pasteable Markdown.

1. From any draft, click Publish → Copy to Notion.
2. Arlo copies the entire post (title, meta, body, images‑as‑markdown) to your clipboard.
3. Paste into any Notion page (⌘/Ctrl + V).

Notion will auto‑convert the Markdown into native blocks. Headings, lists, code, links, and images all preserve.

Internal ArloSEO Blog

Want to publish on /blog/your-slug instead? Hit Publish → ArloSEO blog. The post is live immediately and indexed by search engines via your sitemap.

Publish History

Every successful publish — WordPress, Notion, internal blog, or Markdown file — gets logged on your dashboard’s Publish History feed. You can:

• Filter by destination (WordPress / Notion / blog / file)
• Filter by status (success / failed)
• Export the whole feed as CSV (great for client reporting)
