Use Semly to move from visibility analysis to content planning, creation and publishing. Monitor relevant questions, compare your brand with competitors, explore cited sources and identify content opportunities. Turn recommendations into articles, then publish and update them on WordPress through this plugin. #### What you can do in Semly * Monitor brand visibility across AI platforms and track relevant prompts. * Compare visibility with competitors and identify content gaps. * Analyze the sources cited in AI answers. * Get recommendations to guide your next content actions. * Create articles and manage their publication on WordPress. AI visibility monitoring, GEO analysis, competitor analysis, recommendations and content creation take place in the Semly platform. These features are not added to your WordPress dashboard by this plugin. Visibility and recommendations in third- party AI answers are not guaranteed. #### What this WordPress plugin does * Connect your site using a short-lived pairing token from Semly. No WordPress application password is needed. * Send articles from Semly to WordPress as drafts or publish them directly. * Update linked articles while keeping their WordPress post IDs. * Let a WordPress administrator approve existing posts before Semly can update them. * Disconnect the integration without deleting previously published articles. An active Semly account with access to article publishing is required. The Semly service may require a paid subscription. The plugin itself is free to download. Generate a token in Semly and paste it into Settings > Semly – AI Visibility & GEO. Your site address is detected automatically. The connection supports ordinary posts, titles, slugs, safe HTML, drafts and publication. It does not import all existing articles. Semly can update only posts it created or posts explicitly approved by a WordPress administrator. If you previously used the Semly API integration, disconnect that method in Semly before pairing the plugin. To link an existing article, try saving it from Semly, approve the pending link in the plugin settings, then retry the save. Its WordPress post ID stays unchanged. #### External service and data The plugin contacts https://platform.semly.ai/api/wordpress/plugin/ only when an administrator initiates or retries pairing. It sends the pairing token, site URL, WordPress username and random installation/connection identifiers. These are needed to associate the installation with the selected brand and verify the connection. Semly sends a separate communication credential; WordPress stores only its SHA-256 hash and does not store the pairing token itself. After pairing, Semly makes authenticated HTTPS requests to this site’s semly/v1 endpoints. These requests carry the article identifier and, for writes, the title, slug, HTML content and draft/publish status. WordPress returns connection capabilities or the linked post’s identifier, status and URL. The plugin does not send unrelated post content, passwords or a list of all posts to Semly. No analytics or tracking scripts are included. Read the [Semly terms](https://semly.ai/terms) and [privacy policy](https://semly.ai/privacy-policy) before connecting. Contact support through your [Semly account](https://platform.semly.ai). #### Security and revocation HTTPS with a valid public certificate is required. The credential is accepted only by the plugin’s endpoints and cannot sign in to WordPress or access its general REST API. Administrator configuration and approvals require WordPress capabilities and a nonce. Each request checks the current permissions of the user who paired the installation. Unsafe HTML and WordPress block directives are rejected. Shortcode brackets from Semly are stored as HTML entities and displayed as text. The integration does not accept arbitrary authors, metadata or post types. Disconnect in Settings > Semly – AI Visibility & GEO to revoke access immediately. Deactivation disables the endpoints; explicit reactivation requires new pairing. Existing posts and their protected Semly identity metadata are preserved. Normal WordPress plugin upgrades preserve the configuration and permissions. Disconnecting in Semly stops new synchronization and attempts remote revocation. If the site is unavailable, Semly displays a warning; disconnect locally in WordPress to finish revocation. The plugin logs fixed security event names through the semly_connector_security_event action and, when WP_DEBUG_LOG is enabled, the WordPress debug log. It never intentionally logs tokens, communication credentials or article content. ## Screenshots [⌊Pair a WordPress site using a token from Semly.⌉⌊Pair a WordPress site using a token from Semly.⌉[ Pair a WordPress site using a token from Semly.

The plugin requires database advisory locks to serialize publishing and revocation safely. 1. In Semly, select your brand, open Integrations > WordPress — plugin and generate a token. It expires in 30 minutes and is shown only once. 2. In WordPress, open Plugins > Add New, search for Semly – AI Visibility & GEO, then install and activate it. Alternatively, upload the plugin ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. 3. Open Settings > Semly – AI Visibility & GEO, review the service terms and paste the token. Click Connect to Semly. 4. Return to Semly to publish or save articles. An existing post requires explicit approval in WordPress before Semly may update it. ## FAQ ### Do I need a Semly account? Yes. You need an active Semly account with access to article publishing. The plugin is free; the connected Semly service may require a paid subscription. ### Does the plugin monitor AI visibility inside WordPress? No. Monitoring, analysis, recommendations and content creation take place in Semly. The plugin connects your WordPress site for publishing and updating linked articles. ### Can I connect WordPress Playground? No. Browser-based Playground runs WordPress locally in your browser with SQLite. It cannot receive Semly’s server-to-server verification or publishing requests, and SQLite does not provide the MySQL advisory locks required by this plugin. Use a publicly accessible WordPress test site with HTTPS and MySQL or MariaDB. ### Can I use the old API integration at the same time? No. Each brand uses one connection method. Existing API connections continue to work until you choose to switch. ### What happens if pairing fails? Retry with the same token before it expires. The plugin preserves the installation identity and any credential hash already saved. If you generated a new token, disconnect the pending attempt in WordPress first. ### Can it edit all my content? No. Only normal posts created by Semly or explicitly approved by an administrator may be updated. Other post types and unlinked posts are rejected. ### Does it support sites in a subdirectory? Yes. The detected public site URL retains the subdirectory. Both pretty REST URLs and the rest_route form are supported. HTTP redirects are not followed; use the site’s final HTTPS address. ### Does PHP 7.4 compatibility make an old server secure? No. PHP 7.4 is no longer supported by the PHP project. Use a supported PHP version and keep WordPress, themes and plugins updated. See https://www.php.net/supported- versions.php. ### How are updates delivered? Updates use WordPress.org after the plugin has been approved and published. Before then, install an updated ZIP manually. There is no custom updater. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Semly – AI Visibility & GEO” is open source software.
