## Description

**The Pantheon Content Publisher plugin for WordPress enables seamless content publishing
from Google Drive and Google Docs directly to WordPress sites.** Perfect for editorial
teams who collaborate on content within Google Docs, this plugin ensures a smooth
transition from document creation to web publishing, facilitating real-time previews
and direct publishing options.

### Features

#### Real-time Preview

Experience seamless document previews within your WordPress environment as they 
would appear live on the web.

#### One-click Publishing

Enable direct publishing from Google Docs to WordPress, simplifying content management
and streamlining workflows.

#### Custom Post Type Support

Publish content to any public post type registered on your WordPress site, including
custom post types. Authors can also specify the target post type per document via
metadata.

#### ACF Integration

Sync Content Publisher metadata fields to Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). Navigate
to Settings > Pantheon Content Publisher > Integration tab to define field mappings
per post type. Each tab shows ACF fields from the field groups assigned to that 
post type — enter the exact Content Publisher metadata field name (case-sensitive)
to create a mapping. Mapped values are automatically applied on every publish. Sync
errors are displayed in the Integration tab and auto-clear after one hour. Requires
the ACF plugin (free or Pro) to be installed and active. Works with custom post 
types.

For more information, please check [Pantheon Content Publisher documentation](https://docs.content.pantheon.io).

### Integration with Third-Party Services

#### Important Disclosure

This plugin integrates with Google Drive and Google Docs to facilitate document 
publishing to WordPress.
 When enabled, it will access documents from these services
for the purposes of rendering previews and enabling publishing functionality via
the [Pantheon Content Publisher service](https://docs.content.pantheon.io). These
services are not processing any data or content originating from WordPress or the
plugin itself and no other third-party service is used to process data. Pantheon
Content Publisher policies and terms are available at [https://legal.pantheon.io/](https://legal.pantheon.io/)

This plugin makes use of the Apollo open-source GraphQL Client library and references

#### Data Handling

User documents from Google Drive are accessed and processed to generate content 
on WordPress.

beyond this operational scope.

## Installation

The Pantheon Content Publisher plugin can be installed like any other WordPress 
Plugin, from your WordPress Dashboard, go to Plugins -> Add Plugin and search for:
Pantheon Content Publisher, click the Install Now button and then click Activate.

After the plugin is active, set up your connection to Pantheon Content Publisher
and Google Drive via the settings page in the WordPress admin dashboard.

Once connected:

 * **Connection tab** — Configure collections and choose the target post type (including
   custom post types).
 * **Integration tab** — Map Content Publisher metadata fields to ACF fields per
   post type (requires the ACF plugin).

## FAQ

### How do I connect Pantheon Content Publisher to Google Drive?

Create a management token at https://content.pantheon.io/dashboard. Proceed to the
Pantheon Content Publisher settings page in your WordPress admin dashboard and paste
the token into the “Management token” field.
 The connection will be established
automatically.

### What happens if I disconnect Pantheon Content Publisher from my Google Drive?

All posts/pages created with Pantheon Content Publisher will remain on your WordPress
site. However, you will no longer be able to edit them from Google Docs.

### How do I map metadata to ACF fields?

Go to Settings > Pantheon Content Publisher > Integration tab. Select a post type
tab, then enter the exact Content Publisher metadata field name next to each ACF
field you want to map. Values sync automatically on every publish. The ACF plugin(
free or Pro) must be installed and active.

### Does the ACF integration require the ACF plugin?

Yes. The ACF plugin must be installed and active. If ACF is not detected, the Integration
tab displays a warning and field mappings are skipped during publish.

### Can I publish to custom post types?

Yes. When creating or editing a collection, select the target post type from the
dropdown. You can also select “Chosen by the author” to let document authors control
the post type via the `wp-post-type` metadata field.
