Receive SEO articles created and approved in RankOps AI as WordPress posts.

== Description ==

RankOps AI SEO Publisher connects your WordPress site to RankOps AI, an SEO content automation platform for planning, generating, reviewing, and sending articles to connected websites.

Requires a RankOps AI account. Create one at https://rankopsai.com/sign-up. RankOps AI may include free usage or paid subscriptions depending on your plan. See current plans at https://rankopsai.com/pricing.

This plugin does not generate articles inside WordPress. Article creation, review, usage, and subscription management happen in RankOps AI. The plugin gives your WordPress site a Publish URL and security key so RankOps AI can send approved articles to WordPress.

The plugin can:

* Show a Publish URL for this WordPress site.
* Generate a security key for RankOps AI.
* Create WordPress posts as drafts or published posts.
* Map incoming RankOps AI categories and tags to WordPress taxonomies.
* Keep a recent publish log without storing secure keys or full article content.
* Avoid duplicate posts by storing the RankOps AI source article ID.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate the plugin in WordPress.
2. Open the RankOps AI menu in the WordPress sidebar.
3. Create or open your RankOps AI account at https://rankopsai.com.
4. In WordPress, copy the Publish URL and generate a security key.
5. In RankOps AI, add this WordPress site, paste the Publish URL and security key, then click Test connection.
6. Send one approved article first and review it in WordPress Posts.
