Connect your site, and Aranx handles everything – from finding the right keywords to publishing optimized articles. This plugin connects your WordPress site to Aranx so articles flow directly into your posts. #### What it does * **Keyword research to publishing in one step** – Aranx researches, writes, and publishes. Articles appear as WordPress posts automatically * **Two-way sync** – Post status changes in WordPress are reflected in Aranx * **SEO meta tags** – Outputs the title and meta description when no SEO plugin is active * **Built-in image creation** – Each article includes AI-generated images, uploaded to your media library * **Connection monitoring** – Automatic health checks and reconnection if anything drops * **Activity logging** – See exactly what’s been synced and when #### How it works 1. Install and activate the plugin 2. Click “Connect to Aranx” and approve the secure connection 3. Content created in Aranx publishes to your site automatically ### External services This plugin connects your site to [Aranx](https://aranx.com), an SEO content service run by Aranx. **An Aranx account is required.** Aranx writes articles and publishes them to your site through this plugin. **No data is sent until you connect your site.** The plugin makes no external requests before you click “Connect to Aranx” on its settings page. When you click “Connect to Aranx”, your browser opens aranx.com with these details so Aranx can set up your site: * Site URL, site name, and the site admin email address * WordPress version, plugin version, site language, timezone, and permalink structure After you approve the connection, the plugin sends these requests to aranx.com: * Once, to exchange a short-lived, one-time authorization code for paired API keys. The request contains the code, a PKCE verifier, and the site URL. * When an Aranx-created post is edited, changes status, or is deleted. The request contains the post ID, title, content, excerpt, status, type, slug, URL, edit URL, created and modified dates, categories, tags, featured image, comment and ping status, menu order, parent ID, and the author’s ID and display name. * Every hour, a heartbeat for connection health. It contains the site URL, admin URL, site ID, WordPress, PHP, and plugin versions, and post and page counts. * After the plugin imports article images, a report for each import job. It contains the job ID, the result, the new media library IDs and URLs, and any errors. * Once a day, a connection check that sends empty HEAD requests to three Aranx API endpoints. * Every 30 days, a request to rotate the API keys. * When you disconnect or delete the plugin, a request to revoke the site’s keys. On deletion this request also contains the site URL, site name, admin email address, and plugin version. After you connect, Aranx also calls the plugin’s REST API on your site. All of these calls require the site’s API key. Aranx uses them to: * Create, update, and delete the posts it publishes, and upload their images * Read posts, categories, media, and authors (ID, display name, role, and avatar URL), so you can pick a category and author in Aranx * Read the connection status: site name and URL, WordPress, PHP, and plugin versions, and which SEO plugins are active The plugin downloads article images over HTTPS from images.aranx.com and from other public image URLs that Aranx sends with an article. It adds them to your media library. * [Aranx Terms of Service](https://aranx.com/terms) * [Aranx Privacy Policy](https://aranx.com/privacy) ## Installation 1. Upload the `aranx-connector` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress 3. Go to **Aranx** in your admin sidebar 4. Click **Connect to Aranx** and authorize your site ## FAQ ### Do I need an Aranx account? Yes. This plugin is a connector between your WordPress site and the Aranx platform. Create an account at [aranx.com](https://aranx.com). ### What happens to my content if I deactivate the plugin? All published content remains on your site. Deactivating pauses the connection to Aranx. Reactivating restores it automatically. ### Does this work with my SEO plugin? Yes. If Yoast SEO or Rank Math is active, Aranx saves the article’s meta title and description in that plugin’s fields. With neither active, Aranx prints them itself. ### Is the connection secure? All communication uses HTTPS with separate, revocable API keys for each direction. Browser callbacks carry only a short-lived authorization code. Webhooks, heartbeats, and image-transfer callbacks are HMAC-signed. API keys are encrypted in non-autoloaded WordPress options. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Aranx Connector” is open source software.
