详情介绍:
/wp-json/edward/v1/* that the MeetEdward service uses to publish articles. All endpoints require a randomly-generated API key that you copy into your MeetEdward dashboard once during setup. No data leaves your WordPress site without a request from MeetEdward, authenticated with your key.
Key features
- Publishes articles as standard WordPress posts.
- Sets SEO title, focus keyword, meta description, canonical URL, noindex flag, Open Graph + Twitter Card tags for Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO — whichever you have installed.
- Attaches featured images from external URLs with explicit alt text and caption support.
- Supports tags, categories, and scheduled publishing (via WordPress's built-in scheduled-post mechanism).
- Idempotency keys prevent duplicate posts on retry.
- Slug-conflict detection avoids SEO cannibalization.
- Optional IndexNow integration for near-instant Bing/Yandex re-crawl notifications.
- Diagnostics endpoint for support troubleshooting (PHP version, WP version, SEO plugin detection, file permissions).
- Site discovery endpoints (authors, categories, tags) so the MeetEdward dashboard renders accurate dropdowns.
- Survives hosts that disable the
fileinfoPHP extension via a four-tier mime detection ladder. - Survives hosts that block the WordPress REST API for anonymous requests via a scoped bypass filter (Edward's own routes still require the API key).
- SSRF guard on external image URLs (blocks loopback, private IP ranges, link-local, ULA).
安装:
- Upload the
edward-seofolder to/wp-content/plugins/(or install via the WordPress plugin uploader). - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Go to Tools → Edward to retrieve your API key.
- Paste the key into your MeetEdward dashboard.
常见问题:
Does this plugin send data to MeetEdward without my knowledge?
No. The plugin never initiates outbound HTTP requests. Communication only happens when MeetEdward's servers call this plugin's REST endpoints, authenticated with the API key you generate. See the "External services" section above for a full data-flow breakdown.
What happens if I lose my API key?
Click "Generate New Key" on the Tools → Edward page. The old key stops working immediately. Update the new key in your MeetEdward dashboard.
Does this plugin work with Yoast SEO / Rank Math / All in One SEO?
Yes — Edward writes SEO title, meta description, focus keyword, canonical URL, noindex flag, Open Graph, and Twitter Card metadata for all three plugins. Whichever one you have active, the data lands in the right place.
What WordPress user is set as the article's author?
By default, the WordPress user with administrative privileges who installed the plugin. You can change this on the Tools → Edward page.
Why is my newly-published article showing as "draft" instead of "published"?
If a post or page with the same slug already exists on your site, Edward downgrades to draft to avoid SEO cannibalization. Change the slug or delete the conflicting post, and the next publish will go live.
How do I uninstall completely?
Deactivate then delete the plugin from Plugins → Installed Plugins. The uninstall hook removes all plugin options and the IndexNow key file. Articles already published remain.
更新日志:
- Fixed All in One SEO (AIOSEO) sync. Meta description and focus keyphrase were written only as postmeta, which AIOSEO 4+ does not read — so they never appeared. They are now written through AIOSEO's own storage (the
aioseo_poststable) via its Post model, so they show in the editor and on the front end. - Added optional
meta_title(SEO title) to the publish endpoint, written to Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and All in One SEO. - All in One SEO now also receives the canonical URL, noindex flag, Open Graph / Twitter Card tags, and the SEO (TruSEO) score snapshot — matching the existing Yoast/Rank Math coverage.
- Added a "Settings" link on the Plugins list page that jumps to Tools → Edward.
- Publish endpoint now accepts optional
seo_scoreandreadability_score(0–100) and writes them to the Yoast (_yoast_wpseo_linkdex,_yoast_wpseo_content_score) and Rank Math (rank_math_seo_score) meta keys, so the SEO/Readability columns in the posts list are populated immediately on publish instead of showing "Not available". (All in One SEO TruSEO scoring is not yet covered.)
- Initial release.
- Publish endpoint (
POST /edward/v1/publish) with idempotency, slug-conflict detection, SEO metadata, featured-image attach, scheduled publishing, tags, auto-excerpt. - Verify, diagnostics, authors, categories, tags read endpoints.
- IndexNow setup + status endpoints.
- Tools → Edward admin page with API-key management, default author/category selection, test-connection button, and recent-publishes log.
- SSRF guard on external image URLs.
- Multisite-aware uninstall cleanup.
