What Does Docket Send to WordPress?
Docket publishes to WordPress posts through the REST API with an application password, and maps each part of the article to the field that means the same thing.
| From Docket | WordPress Field | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Title | title | Becomes the post title. |
| Body | content | Body images rehosted to your media library. The closing call to action becomes a WordPress button. JSON-LD appended. |
| Excerpt | excerpt | Mapping switch, on by default. |
| Slug | slug | Mapping switch, on by default. |
| Hero Image | featured_media | Uploaded with alt text, title and caption. Reused on later publishes, not uploaded again. |
| Categories | categories | The writer's choice, else your default category on a new post. A deleted category is reported. |
| Tags | tags | The writer's list, else suggested from the keyphrase. Created only if the account may manage terms. |
| Comments | comment_status | Optional. |
| Status | status | Publish, or push to WordPress as a draft. |
Tested End to End Against a Real WordPress
Docket's real publish flow is run against a real WordPress install in six configurations: no SEO plugin, Yoast SEO, Yoast with its fields exposed, Rank Math, Rank Math with leftover Yoast fields, and an Author-role account. It reads every field back from the site. Republishing updates the same post without duplicating it, its images or its schema.
SEO Plugin Fields
The plugin is detected live on each publish, and Docket writes the fields it supports. Everything else is left alone.
| Plugin | Fields Docket Writes, When Exposed Over REST |
|---|---|
| Yoast SEO | Title, meta description, focus keyphrase, OG title, description, image and image id, Twitter title, description and image, primary category |
| Rank Math | Title, description, focus keyword, Facebook title, description and image, Twitter title, description and image, primary category |
| SEOPress | Title, description, target keyword, Facebook title, description and image, Twitter title, description and image. No primary category field exists |
| Schema | When |
|---|---|
| BlogPosting | Always, or NewsArticle when the writer marked it as news |
| FAQPage, HowTo, ItemList, Event, Place Types | Only when the article supports them. FAQPage needs 3 or more visible FAQs |
| BreadcrumbList, Organization | Only with no SEO plugin present. With one, Docket leaves them to the plugin |
| Ratings, Prices, Reviews, Authors | Never |

Schedule It
Docket publishes it shortly after the scheduled time, typically within the hour, with the same checks as an instant publish. - 03 · Guard

WordPress Publishing Without the Copy-Paste Marathon
| Topic | The Usual Way | With Docket |
|---|---|---|
| Moving the Article | The Usual Way: Copy, paste, fix the formatting, fix it again. | With Docket: One click to a WordPress post, or pick a time. |
| Images | The Usual Way: Downloaded, renamed, uploaded, alt text forgotten. | With Docket: Rehosted to your media library with alt text, title and caption. |
| SEO Fields | The Usual Way: Pasted into the plugin box by hand, sometimes. | With Docket: Written to Yoast SEO, Rank Math or SEOPress where exposed, then read back. |
| Schema | The Usual Way: A plugin guesses, or a rating appears from nowhere. | With Docket: Only the types the page can back up, with the real permalink. |
| Mistakes | The Usual Way: Two copies of the same post, live, on a Friday. | With Docket: A publish lock means two clicks make one post. |

Questions About Publishing to WordPress
How do I publish AI articles to WordPress?
With Docket, you connect WordPress once with an application password, open a finished article and publish it now or schedule it. Docket creates the post through the WordPress REST API with every field filled, moves images into your media library, adds schema, writes the SEO plugin fields your site exposes, and reads each one back.
Which CMS does Docket publish to?
Docket publishes to WordPress posts, through the WordPress REST API with an application password. It fills every post field and the SEO fields your plugin exposes, then reads them back. The site needs to be reachable from the internet with its REST API on.
What fields does Docket fill in on a WordPress post?
Docket fills the title, body, excerpt, slug, featured image with alt text, title and caption, categories and tags, plus optional comment status and publish or draft status. Body images move into your media library and JSON-LD is appended. It also writes the Yoast SEO, Rank Math or SEOPress fields your site exposes over REST.
Does Docket work with Yoast SEO, Rank Math and SEOPress?
Yes, for every field the site exposes over REST. Docket detects the plugin on each publish, writes what it can and reads it back. Stock Yoast SEO 28.x exposes the SEO title, meta description and focus keyphrase. Stock Rank Math exposes none until the site allows it. Unwritten fields are reported, never claimed.
Why did my SEO plugin fields not save?
Usually because the plugin does not expose its fields over REST. WordPress only accepts post meta through the REST API for keys registered with show_in_rest. Docket asks the site which keys it accepts, sends only those, reads them back, and reports per field what was written and what was refused.
How does scheduled publishing work in Docket?
You pick a date and time in the editor and the article is marked scheduled. Docket publishes it shortly after that time, typically within the hour, runs the same brand safety checks as a manual publish, and logs the result.
What structured data does Docket add to posts?
Every post gets BlogPosting, or NewsArticle for news. FAQPage, HowTo, ItemList, Event and place types are added only when the article supports them. Ratings, prices, reviews, named authors and speakable are never emitted. Schema uses the real permalink and is read back to confirm it survived.
What happens if I click publish twice?
You get one post. Each publish holds a short lock, so a double click, or a click racing a scheduled publish, cannot create a second post. Re-publishing an article updates its existing WordPress post, and pushing a live post back to draft keeps its original publish date.
One Click in Docket, One Checked Post in WordPress
