Overview
Once WordPress is connected, three operations cover day-to-day work: publish a page, update a post you already published, and unpublish a post you want removed. Each is a single action from the page's Actions menu, and the WordPress Status column tells you where every page stands at a glance.
Steps
- Publish — on Content Pages, open Actions -> Publish to WordPress, choose language, post status (Draft, Publish, Pending, or Private), and optional categories and tags, review the cost, and click Publish.
- Update — after editing in ContentScaler, choose Actions -> Update WordPress Post; the post keeps its WordPress ID and URL, and the featured image only changes if you tick Update Featured Image.
- Unpublish — choose Actions -> Unpublish from WordPress; Delete Post moves it to WordPress trash, and Delete Media is optional (only if the images aren't used elsewhere).
Details
- Publishing runs through transforming content, uploading images, and creating the post, then shows the WordPress Post ID, the live URL, and an edit URL.
- Updating refreshes the title, content, SEO metadata, and changed categories/tags, but never changes the WordPress Post ID or slug.
- WordPress Status column: Published (live), Draft (saved as draft), Syncing (in progress), Error (failed — click for details), or — (not published).
Check before you move on
- Unpublishing is permanent in the sense that the post moves to trash; only delete media if those images aren't reused.
- Update costs 2 credits (+1 with featured image); unpublish costs 1 credit.
