If your site already runs on WordPress, you should not need five different tools just to manage guest posting, backlink requests, article drafts, approvals, live URL handoff, and reward tracking. Texoly is built as a privacy-first, anonymous marketplace. The goal is to help both sides coordinate requests, drafts, approvals, and live URLs without exposing unnecessary personal information during normal workflow. With this plugin, you can: * connect a verified WordPress site to your Texoly account* browse guest post opportunities from inside WordPress * create and manage requests* review submission and request workflow states * create local WordPress drafts from approved Texoly briefs * submit draft markdown and published live URLs back to Texoly* check wallet, rewards, and notification data The plugin is intentionally lightweight. Texoly handles marketplace logic, auth, permissions, escrow-style workflow, and verification on the hosted service, while WordPress acts as the operating surface for your connected site. If you want to learn more before connecting a site, visit [Texoly](https://texoly.com) or read the [Texoly WordPress guest post and backlink workflow plugin overview](https://texoly.com/wordpress-plugin). #### Why use Texoly? A lot of WordPress users already know the hard part is not publishing content. The hard part is everything that happens after you decide you need backlinks, guest post placements, publisher relationships, and cleaner outreach workflow. That usually means: * prospecting for guest post opportunities manually * sending cold outreach emails * following up again and again * negotiating unclear pricing or weird side deals * trying to judge trust and quality from weak signals * tracking article drafts in spreadsheets * chasing live links and publication proof * losing requests in inbox clutter and scattered messages Texoly is designed to replace that chaos with a more structured marketplace workflow inside the WordPress admin you already use every day. #### Karma point system Karma points are one of Texoly’s core features. Instead of relying on vague promises, random outreach, and low-intent negotiation, Texoly uses karma points to create a clearer collaboration economy for guest posting and backlink exchange. Users can: * earn karma by fulfilling opportunities * spend karma on guest post requests * move work through a more structured marketplace flow * reduce low-intent activity by tying actions to real platform value #### Privacy-first workflow Texoly is designed to support anonymous collaboration first. The plugin does not add visitor analytics, ad tracking, or behavioral tracking to your WordPress site. It only exchanges the data needed to connect your site, render your Texoly dashboard, and send workflow actions you choose to perform. #### Anti-spam and accountability Structured workflow states and karma-based actions help reduce low-intent activity and make request handling more accountable than random cold outreach. That means: * spammy behavior is less attractive * serious users have more accountability* active work can move through an escrow-style workflow * guest post collaboration becomes cleaner than ad hoc outreach threads #### What the plugin does The plugin lets you: * connect this WordPress site to Texoly * load Texoly dashboard, opportunity, request, submission, wallet, and notification data * trigger request and submission workflow actions * create local WordPress drafts from Texoly-provided brief content * send draft markdown, live URLs, and feedback back to Texoly #### Who it is for Texoly is a strong fit for: * WordPress publishers * bloggers * niche site owners* indie SaaS builders using WordPress * SEO operators * agencies managing WordPress sites #### What it is not Texoly is not a general on-page SEO plugin. It is specifically focused on guest post and backlink collaboration workflow. #### Why WordPress users like it WordPress users already publish from one place. Texoly helps them handle the off- page workflow there too. That makes it a strong fit if you want to: * find guest post opportunities without leaving wp-admin * manage backlink collaboration from one dashboard * reduce spreadsheet chaos * avoid messy cold email workflows * keep request, draft, and live URL workflow tied to your actual site #### External service notice This plugin relies on an external service provided by Texoly.

Yes, but only in a limited way. When a connected user is actively viewing Texoly plugin pages inside wp-admin, the plugin may quietly refresh cached Texoly data every few minutes so opportunities, requests, submissions, wallet data, and notifications do not get too stale. ### Does it sync while users browse other WordPress admin pages? No. The automatic refresh logic only runs on Texoly plugin admin pages. It does not run while users browse unrelated WordPress admin screens. ### What data is sent to Texoly? The plugin sends only the data needed to operate the Texoly workflow. Depending on the action, that can include: * your WordPress site URL * the callback or current admin URL needed to complete connection or feedback flow * plugin version information* periodic collection refresh requests while connected users are actively using Texoly plugin pages * request data you enter, such as backlink URL, anchor text, and pitch* draft markdown you choose to submit * live URLs you choose to submit * workflow action requests such as approve, request changes, or mark notifications viewed * feedback form category and message if you send feedback ### What data does the plugin receive from Texoly?

This plugin does not add user tracking scripts, visitor analytics, or ad-tech profiling to your WordPress site. ### Does this plugin track site visitors or WordPress users? No. The plugin does not track front-end visitors or add marketing analytics. It exchanges operational data with Texoly only when needed to connect your site, load Texoly data, or submit workflow actions from wp-admin. ### What is stored locally in WordPress?

No. Texoly is focused on guest post and backlink collaboration workflow, not general on-page SEO optimization. ### Does this automate spammy outreach? No. Texoly is designed to reduce manual outreach by using structured workflow instead of random cold email activity.
