It enables a high-performance, headless publishing workflow by establishing a secure communication channel. This allows Article Agent to create posts, format content, and upload media directly to your media library without manual intervention. **Key Features:** * **Secure Authentication:** Uses site-specific API keys with timing-attack safe validation. * **Media Handling:** Supports multipart uploads, Base64 encoding, and secure remote URL ingestion (with SSRF protection). * **Zero Bloat:** No front-end CSS or JS is added to your site. It strictly handles API communication. * **Developer Friendly:** Extends the REST API under the `genbe-connector/v1` namespace. > **Note:** This is a third-party integration plugin. It requires an active account > with the Article Agent service to function. ## Screenshots [⌊Settings Page - The clean interface where you can generate and view your API Key.⌉⌊ Settings Page - The clean interface where you can generate and view your API Key .⌉[ **Settings Page** – The clean interface where you can generate and view your API Key. ## Installation 1.

It registers REST API endpoints and an admin settings page. It does not output any HTML, CSS, or JavaScript on your live site and will not alter your theme’s appearance. ### I am getting a “403 Forbidden” error when syncing. What do I do? This is usually caused by a security plugin (like Wordfence, iThemes, or Cloudflare) blocking the connection. 1. **Wordfence:** Go to Firewall options and whitelist the IP address of Article Agent, or set the firewall to “Learning Mode” briefly while you sync your first post. 2. **General:** Ensure your security settings do not have “Disable REST API for anonymous users” checked. (WordPress considers API Key requests “anonymous” because no user is logged in via cookies). 3. **Cloudflare:** If you use “Super Bot Fight Mode,” you may need to whitelist our User Agent. ### Is the connection secure? Yes. The plugin employs several security layers: 1. **HTTPS:** We recommend (and can enforce) SSL for all connections. 2. **API Keys:** We use high-entropy keys and valid them using `hash_equals` to prevent timing attacks. 3. **SSRF Protection:** Remote image uploads are scanned using `wp_safe_remote_get` to prevent server-side request forgery. 4. **MIME Type Checks:** All uploads are strictly validated to ensure they are real images, not executable scripts. ### Can I change the default author of the posts? By default, posts are assigned to the administrator (User ID 1) or the user associated with the API request context. You can change the author manually in WordPress after the post is drafted. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Genbe Connector for Article Agent” is open source software.
