Now on WordPress.org · v1.5.0

Publish AI articles straight to WordPress.

Skip Zapier. Skip copy-paste. The OutscoreAgent publisher pushes long-form, SEO-optimized articles into WordPress with featured images, attribution, and IndexNow already wired up — now installable in one click from the official WordPress.org plugin directory.

Free plugin 1-click install PHP 8.1+

This is a preview — the real plugin publishes to your own site in about 1.5 seconds.

What the plugin does

Six things that just work.

Hover any card for the details. Everything below is in v 1.5.0 of the plugin today — not a roadmap.

One-click auto-publish

Articles flow from generation straight to WordPress as drafts or live posts — no copy-paste, no Zapier.

  • Schedule a publish time per site (UTC) and the dispatcher handles the rest.
  • Posts created via the WordPress REST API with full title, slug, excerpt, categories, and tags.
  • Failure-tolerant: failures land in the dead-letter queue with a retry button.

Featured images, sideloaded

Branded SVG hero or stock photo — sideloaded straight into the WordPress media library.

  • Uses media_sideload_image() so images live on your WordPress site, not on ours.
  • Featured image set automatically — no manual upload step.
  • Alt text and credit metadata persisted as post meta.

Stock attribution, handled

Pexels and Unsplash credit lines render automatically below your article — legal compliance, built in.

  • Photographer name + source + UTM-tagged link, exactly as the Unsplash API guidelines require.
  • Rendered via a the_content filter — works on every theme without template edits.
  • Credits persist as post meta so they survive theme switches.

IndexNow key hosting

The plugin serves your IndexNow key file on /<key>.txt — Bing, Yandex, Seznam, and Naver verify it in seconds.

  • Auto-registered route via rewrite + template_redirect — no .htaccess edits.
  • Backend pre-flights the key route before submitting URLs, so you never get silently rejected.
  • Key is rotatable from the dashboard; the plugin keeps it in sync.

Lifecycle webhooks

Publish, update, trash, restore — every WordPress event pings the dashboard so status stays in sync.

  • Signed callbacks to /api/webhooks/wordpress/:token — replay-resistant by design.
  • Permalink, post ID, and status flow back automatically — no polling.
  • Manual edits in WordPress are reflected in OutscoreAgent within seconds.

Gutenberg-ready blocks

The backend converts each article to clean Gutenberg blocks before publish — no nested-div soup.

  • Paragraphs, headings, lists, images, and quotes become native blocks.
  • Block themes render perfectly; classic themes still work via the_content.
  • No shortcodes, no plugin lock-in — your content is portable if you ever leave.

Compared to the alternatives

Native beats duct tape.

Most AI tools assume you’ll glue WordPress publishing on with Zapier or your own hands. We built it in.

Yes — the plugin itself is free. You only pay for OutscoreAgent if you want auto-publishing and the rest of the platform. Free plan users can still download the plugin and use Export HTML to publish manually.
Yes. The backend converts every article to native Gutenberg blocks (paragraphs, headings, lists, images, quotes) before publishing. Block themes render perfectly; classic themes work via the_content. No shortcodes, no lock-in.
WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 8.1+. We test against the latest two WordPress majors. If you’re on an older PHP, the plugin will refuse to activate rather than half-work.
Self-hosted WordPress (.org) only. WordPress.com’s shared tier doesn’t allow third-party plugins. Business plans on WordPress.com do allow plugins — but you’ll get a smoother experience on any standard host (Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, your own VPS).
Only post lifecycle events for posts created by the plugin: post ID, permalink, publish status, and timestamps. We never read posts that weren’t created via OutscoreAgent, and we never read users, comments, or settings. Every webhook is signed.
Not yet — we’re finishing the wordpress.org submission checklist. For now, download the zip directly from this page. Updates ship via the dashboard release notes; we’ll add auto-updates once the directory listing is live.
Yes. Per-article and per-site defaults are configurable in the dashboard. Many teams publish drafts during onboarding, switch to scheduled publish once they trust the output.
The job lands in our dead-letter queue with the error message and retry button. The dashboard shows you the WordPress error verbatim — no opaque "something went wrong" guessing.

Stop guessing. Start compounding.

Write, publish, track, and refresh — all from one dashboard. Your first 5 articles are free.
