FAQ
-
Where do my reporters write updates?
-
Create and publish your liveblog in LiveblogAI. In WordPress, add its public ID to the article once. Reporters can then publish updates from LiveblogAI while the article stays live.
-
Do I need to connect a LiveblogAI account to WordPress?
-
You only need the ID of a public LiveblogAI liveblog to embed it. Your team uses a LiveblogAI account to manage coverage. WordPress stores the ID and display settings, and readers can follow public coverage without signing in.
Previewing or viewing an embed connects to LiveblogAI to load coverage. LiveblogAI receives the liveblog ID and the browser’s IP address. Server-rendered requests also send the plugin version. Terms of service · Privacy policy.
-
Can I use the Classic Editor?
-
Yes. Paste
[liveblog id="YOUR_ID"]on its own line in your post and replaceYOUR_IDwith the public liveblog ID. In the block editor, search for the LiveblogAI block instead. -
Will readers see updates if they already have the article open?
-
Yes. Once the live feed connects, new posts appear in the embedded feed. Readers can keep the article open throughout the event.
-
Will it work with my caching plugin or CDN?
-
Yes. For a page that needs full-page caching, choose JavaScript mode under Settings > LiveblogAI, or use
[liveblog id="YOUR_ID" mode="js"]for one embed. If you choose server rendering, exclude that page from your caching plugin, host cache and CDN, then purge any existing cached copy. -
Does each update become a separate WordPress post?
-
No. All updates appear in the article where you placed the embed. LiveblogAI hosts the coverage, and WordPress manages the article’s URL, title and sharing metadata.
