How to Connect Your WordPress Site with RightBlogger

Last Updated January 14, 2026

WordPress for RightBlogger is finally here, and it just got a whole lot better.

If you’re a blogger, you already know how powerful WordPress is, and now you can connect it directly to RightBlogger using our official WordPress plugin. That means no more copying and pasting, no more juggling drafts, and no more manual publishing workflows.

Instead, your content can flow automatically from RightBlogger straight into WordPress, whether you’re publishing one article at a time or running a full auto-blogging content calendar.

Let’s walk through exactly how it works.

Why Connect WordPress to RightBlogger?

If you’ve been manually moving content from RightBlogger into WordPress, you already know how time-consuming that can be.

With the WordPress plugin, you can:

Publish content directly from RightBlogger to WordPress
Automatically schedule posts using the Content Planner
Send drafts, pending posts, or published articles
Sync SEO titles and meta descriptions with SEO plugins
Automatically assign categories, featured images, and more

In short, this integration removes friction and lets you focus on content, not logistics.

Setting Up WordPress in RightBlogger

Step 1: Access Your Project in RightBlogger

Once logged into RightBlogger, head to the Projects section from the sidebar. This is where all WordPress integrations are managed.

Select an existing project or click Add Project to create a new one. Inside your project, scroll down to the Integrations tab and find the WordPress section.

This is where the plugin setup begins.

Step 2: Download the RightBlogger WordPress Plugin

Inside the WordPress integration settings, you’ll see instructions along with a link to download the RightBlogger WordPress plugin.

Download the plugin file and keep it as a .zip. You’ll upload this directly to WordPress.

Keep in mind that free WordPress.com sites are not supported, since they don’t allow publishing through the WordPress API.

Step 3: Install the Plugin on Your WordPress Site

Next, head over to your WordPress dashboard.

Go to Plugins → Add New
Click Upload Plugin
Select the RightBlogger plugin .zip file
Click Install Now
Activate the plugin once it finishes installing

After activation, you’ll see a new RightBlogger plugin entry in your WordPress admin.

Step 4: Connect WordPress to RightBlogger

Open the RightBlogger plugin settings in WordPress and click Connect to RightBlogger.

You’ll be prompted to choose which RightBlogger project this site should be connected to. Select the project, confirm the connection, and return to WordPress.

Once connected, RightBlogger will automatically detect supported SEO plugins like Yoast SEO and send SEO titles and meta descriptions directly into WordPress.

Publishing Posts From RightBlogger to WordPress

With the plugin installed, publishing content becomes extremely simple.

Anything created in tools like the Article Writer or Video to Blog can be sent directly to WordPress. If you’re using the Content Planner, scheduled posts will automatically publish based on your selected settings.

Inside the WordPress integration settings, you can choose whether content is sent as:

Draft
Pending
Published

You can also enable auto-categories, featured images, SEO titles, and meta descriptions so your posts arrive fully formatted.

Editing Content Before Posting

If you prefer to review or tweak content before it goes live, RightBlogger still gives you full control.

You can edit content inside the Article Writer or the Editor before it’s sent to WordPress. Formatting, images, and headings carry over automatically, so there’s no need to rework your content once it reaches WordPress.

This makes it easy to fine-tune posts without breaking your workflow.

What About Application Passwords?

If you previously connected WordPress to RightBlogger using application passwords, that method is now considered legacy.

The WordPress plugin replaces application password authentication entirely. You may still see references to application passwords if you connected your site before the plugin existed, but for all new setups, the plugin is the recommended approach.

Conclusion

Connecting WordPress to RightBlogger using the WordPress plugin is the easiest way to streamline your content workflow.

You can create, edit, schedule, and publish posts without manual copying and pasting, while keeping full control over SEO and formatting. If you run into any issues, check out our guide on debugging WordPress issues in RightBlogger.

Do I need the RightBlogger WordPress plugin, or can I still use application passwords?

For new setups, you should use the RightBlogger WordPress plugin. It is the recommended way to connect your WordPress site to RightBlogger.

Application passwords are now considered a legacy method. If you connected before the plugin existed, you might still see those settings, but the plugin replaces that workflow.

Using the plugin also helps RightBlogger detect supported SEO plugins so it can send over SEO titles and meta descriptions more reliably.

Can I use this on WordPress.com, or only on self-hosted WordPress sites?

This integration does not support free WordPress.com sites. Free WordPress.com plans do not allow publishing through the WordPress API, which RightBlogger needs.

If you are using a self hosted WordPress site (WordPress.org) or a WordPress.com plan that allows plugins and API access, the plugin setup should work.

If you are unsure which type you have, check whether your WordPress dashboard lets you upload plugins. If you can upload a plugin, you are usually good to go.

What post status can RightBlogger send to WordPress (draft, pending, or published)?

RightBlogger can send posts to WordPress as Draft, Pending, or Published. You choose the default status in your WordPress integration settings.

Draft is best if you want to review and edit before anything goes live. Published is best if you want a faster workflow and you trust your templates and settings.

If you are using the Content Planner for autoblogging, scheduled posts can publish automatically based on the settings you pick in RightBlogger. For more help with timing and queues, see how to Set up scheduling.

Will my formatting, headings, images, and SEO fields carry over to WordPress?

Yes, your content formatting is designed to carry over when you send a post to WordPress. That includes headings and images, so you do not have to redo your layout after publishing.

You can also enable options like auto categories, featured images, and SEO fields in the integration settings. This helps posts arrive in WordPress closer to being ready to publish.

RightBlogger can detect supported SEO plugins like Yoast SEO and send SEO titles and meta descriptions into WordPress. That saves time and keeps your on page SEO consistent.

How do I edit a post before it goes live on my WordPress site?

Edit the post in RightBlogger first, then send it to WordPress as a Draft or Pending post. This gives you a review step without breaking your workflow.

A common setup is to write in the RightBlogger Article Writer, do a quick polish, then push it to WordPress for a final check.

If you prefer a dedicated editing screen, you can also clean up the content in the AI Editor tool before you send it. That way your WordPress draft is already formatted and easy to publish.

What should I do if WordPress is not connecting or posts are not sending?

First, confirm the plugin is installed and activated on your WordPress site. Then open the plugin settings and make sure the site is connected to the correct RightBlogger project.

Next, check whether your WordPress setup supports the WordPress API. Free WordPress.com sites will not work, and some security plugins can also block API requests.
