How do I schedule WordPress articles with Postly?

Connect the intended WordPress site, prepare the article, and review its title, slug, categories, tags, and featured media. Check the editor output and available SEO fields, then save a draft or choose a publishing time.

A practical example

Turn a product tutorial into a blog article. Review the headings, screenshots, internal links, featured image, and search preview before scheduling its release.

Before you schedule

  • Choose the correct connected site.
  • Review formatting and featured media.
  • Check canonical URLs and supported SEO plugin fields.
  • Verify the live article after publication.

Inside your publishing workspace

WordPress publishing presets

Save named presets for your WordPress workflows, choose a preset when preparing content, and review the settings before publishing. Create, rename, and manage presets in your workspace.

  • Published, draft, pending review or private status
  • Post format
  • Default tags
  • Gutenberg block output

Presets supply reusable defaults. Review content-specific settings and account permissions for every post.

You can also apply presets across organization workspaces where you have permission to manage them.

Frequently asked questions

WordPress publishing FAQ

Can Postly publish directly to WordPress?

Yes. Connect an eligible WordPress site, prepare the article settings, and publish or schedule it.

Can I set SEO and social metadata?

Yes, for fields supported by your installed SEO plugin and its API permissions. Postly shows a review warning when metadata delivery cannot be confirmed. Review the existing article instead of publishing a duplicate.

Can I use the WordPress media library?

Yes. Select existing WordPress media or upload media from Postly.

Does deleting in Postly remove the live content?

Delete from Postly, DELETE /posts/{postId}, and postly_delete_post remove only the post in Postly. Live content remains on every platform. Save live links and provider IDs before removing the post. For supported published content, open the dashboard post menu and choose Delete on Platforms. Keep the post in Postly and review every destination result. Delete Everywhere removes the post only after every destination is resolved. A platform may refuse removal of an individual post. Review the result before assuming it is gone.

Which media requirements should I check?

Postly image allowance: 10 MB. Your WordPress host may impose a lower upload limit or restrict file types. Postly video allowance: 100 MB. Supported uploads also depend on your host, WordPress configuration and permissions; there is no universal WordPress API size allowance.

How many images or videos can I publish?

Postly accepts up to twenty selected media files. They belong to an article workflow, not a social carousel; your site controls uploads and article rendering.

Can Postly fix incompatible media?

Upload supported image formats, including JPEG and PNG. In the editor, Postly automatically converts supported images when a destination needs a different format, while keeping compatible images unchanged. Use Fix images in the channel preview for remaining size or aspect-ratio issues, then review the result. Repairs are checked again. Tiny originals, unreadable files and images that still exceed requirements need replacing or manual export. Enlarging cannot restore missing detail. Videos are not automatically compressed or re-encoded.

What if only some destinations publish?

Review each destination separately. A successful destination should not be republished just because another failed. If the result is unconfirmed, check the live destination before retrying to avoid duplicates. Correct rejected media and retry only the affected destination.

What should I review before scheduling a WordPress article?

Check the title, slug, categories, tags, featured media, and article preview. Review canonical and search metadata, social-preview settings, and the editor output required by your site.
