Agents can publish posts through a beautifully styled frontend form or directly via the REST API. **Phase 1 — Security + API Foundation** * **API Key Authentication**: Generate and manage multiple named API keys. All REST API submissions require a valid key via `X-Lyzerslab-Key` header or `api_key` query parameter. * **Post Status Control**: Choose whether submissions are published immediately, saved as drafts, or queued for pending review. * **Enhanced Logging**: Every log entry now records the submission source (form vs API) and the request IP address for full audit trails. **Phase 2 — AI Content Quality** * **Featured Image from Markdown**: The first `![alt](url)` in the post body is automatically sideloaded as the featured image. An explicit URL field is also available. * **Tags Support**: Pass a comma-separated list of tags on form or via API. * **Excerpt Support**: Custom post excerpts via form and API. * **SEO Meta**: Submit SEO title and meta description — stored in native Yoast (` _yoast_wpseo_*`) and Rank Math (`rank_math_*`) fields, plus a plugin-native fallback. **Core Features** * **REST API Endpoint** at `/wp-json/lyzerslab/v1/submit` (POST, JSON body) * **Frontend Submission Form** via `[lyzerslab_post_submission]` shortcode * **Markdown Parser**: Headings, Bold/Italic/Strikethrough, Lists, Code (inline + fenced blocks), Blockquotes, Links, Images, Horizontal Rules * **Multi-Category Support**: Admin controls which categories appear on the form * **Beautiful Admin UI**: Modern card-based design with stats dashboard on the logs page * **Internationalization-ready**: Full i18n support ### REST API **Endpoint:** `POST /wp-json/lyzerslab/v1/submit` **Headers:** X-Lyzerslab-Key: llk_your_key_here Content-Type: application/json **Body (all except title + body are optional):** ``` `json ``` { “title”: “Post Title”, “body”: “# Markdown body”, “excerpt”: “Short summary”,“ tags”: “ai, automation”, “categories”: [1, 3], “image_url”: “https://example.com/ hero.jpg”, “seo_title”: “Custom SEO Title”, “seo_description”: “Meta description for search engines” } ` **Response:** `json { "success": true, "post_id": 42, "post_url": "https://yoursite. com/post-title" } ## Installation 1. Upload the `lyzerslab-ai-blog-automation` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate via the “Plugins” menu. 3. Go to **Lyzer Automations API Keys** and generate a key for your agent. 4. Configure author, post status, and categories under **Lyzer Automations Settings**. ## FAQ ### Is API key authentication required? For the REST API endpoint, yes — a valid active key must be sent. The frontend form uses a WordPress nonce instead. ### What post statuses can I use? publish, `draft`, or `pending` — configurable in settings per-site. The API or form always uses whichever status is configured. ### Which SEO plugins are supported? SEO meta is written to Yoast SEO (`_yoast_wpseo_title`, `_yoast_wpseo_metadesc`) and Rank Math (`rank_math_title`, `rank_math_description`) fields simultaneously, plus a plugin-native meta key as fallback. ### How does featured image sideloading work? If an `image_url` is provided (or an `![alt](url)` image exists in the Markdown body), the plugin uses WordPress’s `media_sideload_image()` to download and attach it as the post thumbnail. ### What Markdown is supported? Headings (H1–H6), bold, italic, bold+italic, strikethrough, unordered/ordered lists, fenced code blocks (“`), inline code, blockquotes, links, images, and horizontal rules. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Lyzerslab AI Blog Automation” is open source software.
