Connect WordPress to Rankply
Push posts directly to your self-hosted or WordPress.com blog. Follow the steps below — most customers finish in 2 minutes.
How to connect WordPress
WordPress 5.6+ on any hosting (including WordPress.com Business plan and above).
Sign in to your WordPress admin (e.g. yourblog.com/wp-admin).
Use the account you normally use to publish posts.
Hover your avatar in the top-right corner and click Profile.
Or click Users → Profile in the left sidebar.
Scroll to the very bottom of the Profile page until you see the section titled Application Passwords.
Type the word Rankply into the New Application Password Name box, then click Add New Application Password.
Copy the 4-word password WordPress shows you. It looks like: xyzn abcd 1234 efgh.
You will not see this password again — copy it now.
Come back to Rankply and paste your site URL, WordPress username, and the password you just copied.
If it doesn’t work
- No "Application Passwords" section visible: this usually means your host has disabled REST API access. Contact your host or upgrade the WordPress core to 5.6+.
- WordPress.com Free or Personal plans don't expose Application Passwords. Either upgrade to the Business plan, or move to a self-hosted WordPress install.
What Rankply does once connected
Monthly draft
Every billing cycle our writers produce one or more blog posts and push them as drafts to your WordPress.
You review
The post lands in your CMS with title, body, cover image, and tags. You read it, tweak if needed, and click Publish.
We track AI lift
Once live, we monitor how often AI engines start citing it in your industry — measurable progress, not just published count.
