## Description

Esope Integration is the WordPress companion for **Esope**, an SEO content platform(
https://esope.io). It lets Esope push finished articles directly to your site: each
article is created or updated through a secured REST endpoint, with featured image,
SEO title, meta description and category handled automatically.

This plugin is the WordPress-side receiver of a SaaS service. You generate an integration
key in the plugin settings and paste it into your Esope workspace together with 
your site URL. From then on, Esope publishes, updates or schedules articles on your
site without any manual step.

**What it does**

 * Exposes `GET /wp-json/esope/v1/ping` (connection test) and `POST /wp-json/esope/
   v1/publish` (create or update an article).
 * Authenticates every request with a per-site Bearer key (constant-time comparison),
   HTTPS required.
 * Upserts articles by a stable Esope article id stored in post meta, so renaming
   a title or slug never creates a duplicate.
 * Maps status: forced draft setting, or Esope intent, or a future publish date (
   scheduled), otherwise published immediately.
 * Sets the visible H1, a distinct SEO title and a meta description, writing to 
   Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress or All in One SEO when present, or emitting its
   own tags otherwise (only for posts it manages).
 * Sideloads the cover image as featured image and maps the article theme to a category(
   created if missing).

**Service notice**

This plugin requires an Esope account to be useful. It transmits the integration
key you generate to your Esope workspace at your explicit request. See the Esope
Terms of Service at https://esope.io/legal for details.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `esope-integration` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the
    ZIP from Plugins  Add New  Upload.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to Settings  Esope Integration, copy the integration key and the endpoint URL.
 4. Paste both into your Esope workspace (Integrations  WordPress) and run the connection
    test.

## FAQ

### Does this work without an Esope account?

No. The plugin is the receiving end of the Esope service. Without an Esope workspace
there is nothing to push articles to your site.

### Will it create duplicate posts?

No. Articles are matched by a stable Esope id stored in post meta, never by slug.

### Do I need an SEO plugin?

No. If Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress or All in One SEO is active, the plugin writes
into it. Otherwise it emits its own title and meta description tags, only for the
posts it manages.
