Description
Massic Integration links your WordPress site to Massic so authorized users can publish, preview, update, and unpublish WordPress posts/pages from Massic with signed requests.
This plugin requires an active Massic account and a connection to Massic services. After an administrator connects the plugin, Massic can send authorized publishing requests to this WordPress site.
Key features:
- One-click connect flow from WP Admin with secure pairing.
- Signed REST endpoints for publish/update, unpublish, preview link creation, slug checks, and theme checks.
- Draft and publish support for posts and pages.
- Structured SEO head payload storage and rendering on singular content.
- Best-effort lifecycle sync on plugin deactivate/uninstall.
Security model:
- Requests are verified with HMAC signatures, nonce, and timestamp checks.
- Site-scoped identifiers and secrets are required for privileged operations.
- Content writes are constrained to
postandpagepost types.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin affect non-Massic pages?
-
No. The plugin does not globally enqueue front-end styles for the site and only writes content for posts/pages published through Massic.
-
What can Massic do after I connect?
-
Massic can send signed requests to create, update, preview, unpublish, and check standard WordPress posts and pages. Requests are verified with site-scoped HMAC credentials, timestamps, and nonce replay protection.
-
Does Massic create WordPress media?
-
Yes. If Massic sends a featured image reference for published content, the plugin can download the image from a Massic-hosted or CDN URL and import it into the WordPress media library.
-
Does page publishing require a specific template?
-
No. Pages publish using your theme’s default page template. If your active theme includes a page template named
Massic Template, the plugin assigns it automatically for the most consistent layout, but it is not required. Within the Massic app you can choose to publish only toMassic Templatepages. -
What happens if I deactivate or remove the plugin?
-
Previously published content remains in WordPress. Posts, pages, imported media, stored SEO metadata, and Massic post metadata are not deleted automatically. On deactivate/uninstall, the plugin sends a best-effort lifecycle notice to Massic so the remote connection can be revoked.
-
Which post types are supported?
-
The connector only writes to standard WordPress
postandpagetypes. -
Can I keep using manual WordPress editing?
-
Yes. Standard WordPress editing remains available. The connector only handles signed Massic publish actions.
