The WordPress integration lets you **push AI-generated articles** and **apply SEO fixes in bulk** (meta tags, headings, alt text, Open Graph) without leaving Hack the SEO.

 

## 🚀 Quick-Start

- Go to _Integrations › WordPress_ in your Hack the SEO dashboard.

- Download the WordPress plugin (_.zip_ file).

- Install & activate the plugin in WordPress.

- Copy your personal API key from Profile › API key : Api on profil page : https://app.hacktheseo.com/user/profile

- Paste the key in _WordPress › Hack the SEO › API Settings_ and click **Save**.

_

 

## 📦 Install the Plugin

- In WordPress, open Plugins › Add New › Upload Plugin_.

- Select the hacktheseo.zip file and click **Install Now**.

- Activate the plugin when prompted.

_

## 🔑 Add Your API Key

After activation a new menu item **Hack The SEO** appears:

- Go to Hack The SEO › API Settings_.

- Paste the key you copied from your Hack the SEO profile.

- Click **Save**. A success message confirms the connection.

## 🔧 What Happens After Connection?

Feature
Details

**Article Sync**
Send any AI-generated article as Draft_ or _Published_; choose category & tags.

**Bulk SEO Fixes**
Push meta-title / description, H1-H2, alt text & Open Graph updates directly into WordPress (Elementor compatible).

**History**
Track every sync attempt, its status (success / error) and the last update date.

 

## ❓ Troubleshooting

- **“Invalid API key”** – Make sure you copied the entire string without spaces.

- **Sync fails** – Check that your WordPress site isn’t blocking external POST requests (firewall / security plugins).

- **Elementor fields not updated** – Ensure you run Elementor ≥ v3.0; some older widgets store data differently.

 

## 📍 Next Steps

Now that your site is linked, head over to AI Content Writing to generate your first article and click _Send to WordPress_!
