From keyword to WordPress draft
Connect WordPress and Climber saves articles and edits as drafts on your site. It never publishes. You get the link to review and press publish yourself.
Scan my site for freeDrafts only, by design
Climber can list your posts, create new drafts and update drafts. If you ask it to change a post that's already live, it leaves the live post untouched and saves your changes as a new draft copy, so nothing on your public site changes until you decide.
Connects with an application password
WordPress has built-in application passwords (Users › Profile › Application Passwords). Paste one into Climber with your username. It's checked against your site before it's saved, stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), and never shown again. You can revoke it in WordPress at any time.
Climber needs an Editor or Administrator account. If your host or a security plugin blocks the WordPress REST API, Climber tells you which one is the likely cause.
How it works
- 01
Generate a password
In WordPress: Users › Profile › Application Passwords.
- 02
Connect
Paste your site URL, username and the password in Climber. It verifies the connection.
- 03
Ask for a draft
“Save this article as a draft.” Climber replies with the edit link.
Questions
- Does it work with WordPress.com?
- It works with sites that expose the WordPress REST API and application passwords, which includes self-hosted WordPress and WordPress.com plans that allow them.
- What if I revoke the password?
- The connection shows an error in Settings with a Reconnect button. Nothing else changes on your site.
