Connect WordPress to Rankply
Push posts directly to your self-hosted or WordPress.com blog. Follow the steps below — it takes about 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
Articles every month
Every month your account manager writes 4 articles aimed at the prompts you're losing — drafted with AI, written up and fact-checked by a person — and sends them to you before anything reaches WordPress.
You approve, we publish
You read each article and approve it or ask for changes. Then we publish it on your WordPress site with title, body, cover image and tags — or leave it as a draft if you'd rather press Publish yourself.
We track what AI engines cite
Every month we re-run the same prompts on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, so you can see whether AI engines start naming you — with the raw answers as proof.
