## Set up in *three steps.*

Owners and admins connect the site in Settings › Publishing.

1. ### Connect your site
   Enter its address, your username and an application password from Users › Profile › Application Passwords. Your role must be able to publish posts.
2. ### Choose draft or live
   Keep each article as a draft you publish with one click, or publish the autopilot's articles automatically once they pass the quality check.
3. ### Turn on the autopilot
   Plan articles on the calendar. The autopilot writes them and, if you chose it, publishes them to WordPress on their date.

## What gets *sent.*

Each article becomes one post, created once and updated after that.

- ### Title, slug and body
  The article as HTML, with its headings, links, images and FAQ.
- ### Excerpt
  The article's short summary, in the post's excerpt.
- ### Tags and category
  Its tags, created when missing, and an existing category named like its topic.
- ### Featured image
  The cover, uploaded once with its alt text.
- ### Author
  The site user named like your writing settings' author, else the connected account.
- ### SEO fields
  Meta title, meta description and focus keyword, when Yoast SEO or Rank Math is on the site.

## Questions about *WordPress*

[All questions](https://probeli.ai/faq)

**Does Probeli publish straight away, or as a draft?**

Your choice. By default every article waits in Probeli until an owner or admin clicks Publish to WordPress. With Publish automatically, the autopilot's articles that pass the quality check go live on their calendar date; articles marked Needs review always wait for you.

**What happens when I edit an article that is already published?**

Update on WordPress sends the new version to the same post: no second post is made. A refreshed article is sent by itself only when you publish automatically and the post still holds what Probeli sent; if someone changed it in WordPress, Probeli leaves it and marks the article out of date.

**Does it fill Yoast or Rank Math?**

Yes. When Yoast SEO or Rank Math is on the site, Probeli fills the meta title, meta description and focus keyword. Probeli sends no structured data to WordPress: both plugins add their own.

**How are categories and authors chosen?**

Probeli picks an existing category named like the article's topic and never creates one. The author is the site user named like the author in your writing settings, when your account may list users; otherwise it's the account you connected.

**Do I need a plugin?**

No. Probeli uses WordPress's own REST API with an application password (WordPress 5.6 and later). The password is stored encrypted and never shown again; revoke it in WordPress at any time.

**What happens if I take an article back or disconnect?**

Taking an article back sets its post to draft in WordPress; nothing is deleted. Disconnecting makes Probeli forget the password: articles already published stay on your site, and the autopilot goes back to saving drafts.
