What is n8n + WordPress Automation?

WordPress is a powerful CMS, and n8n allows you to automate how content gets created and published.

Step 1: Enable WordPress API

WordPress has a built-in REST API:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts

Make sure your site is accessible and supports authentication.

Step 2: Create WordPress Credentials in n8n

• Go to n8n → Credentials
• Add WordPress
• Use Application Password (recommended)

⚠️ Use WordPress Application Password instead of your main password.

Step 3: Create a Post via n8n

Endpoint:

POST /wp-json/wp/v2/posts

Example body:

{
  "title": "My Automated Blog Post",
  "content": "This post was created using n8n 🚀",
  "status": "publish"
}

This will publish a post instantly.

Step 4: Upload Featured Image

Upload image via:

POST /wp-json/wp/v2/media

Then attach the image ID as:

"featured_media": 123
