WP Publisher — Remote WordPress Blog Publishing

Publish posts to your WordPress blog from any OpenClaw channel. Send "发布博客" in WeChat and AI handles the rest.

Prerequisites

  1. WordPress site with REST API enabled (native since WP 4.7)
  2. Create an Application Password: WP Admin → Users → Profile → Application Passwords
  3. Configure these env vars or replace in commands:
    • WP_API_BASE: https://your-blog.com/wp-json/wp/v2
    • WP_USER: Your WordPress username
    • WP_APP_PASSWORD: Generated application password

Available Categories (customize per site)

Get your own categories:

curl -sk -u "USER:PASS" "$WP_API_BASE/categories?per_page=50" | python3 -c "
import sys,json
for c in json.load(sys.stdin):
    print(f'{c[\"id\"]}: {c[\"name\"]}')
"

API Operations

Create Post (Publish)

curl -sk -u "USER:PASS" \
  -X POST "$WP_API_BASE/posts" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "title": "Post Title",
    "content": "<p>HTML content here</p>",
    "status": "publish",
    "categories": [CAT_ID],
    "slug": "post-slug"
  }' | python3 -c "import sys,json;d=json.load(sys.stdin);print(f'Published: {d[\"link\"]}')"

Params:

  • status: publish | draft | future (with date field)
  • categories: array of category IDs
  • slug: URL slug (optional, auto-generated from title)
  • tags: array of tag IDs (optional)

List Posts

curl -sk -u "USER:PASS" "$WP_API_BASE/posts?per_page=5&search=keyword"

Update Post

curl -sk -u "USER:PASS" \
  -X PUT "$WP_API_BASE/posts/POST_ID" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"title":"New Title","content":"<p>Updated</p>"}'

Delete Post

curl -sk -u "USER:PASS" -X DELETE "$WP_API_BASE/posts/POST_ID?force=true"

Workflow

When user asks to publish a blog post:

  1. Confirm topic + category — Ask if not specified
  2. Generate content — Write article in Markdown, then convert to HTML
  3. Call API — POST to WordPress REST API with Basic Auth
  4. Reply with link — Give user the published article URL

Markdown → HTML Conversion

Run this Python snippet before posting:

import re

def md2html(md):
    md = re.sub(r'```([\s\S]*?)```', r'<pre><code>\1</code></pre>', md)
    md = re.sub(r'`([^`]+)`', r'<code>\1</code>', md)
    md = re.sub(r'^### (.+)$', r'<h4>\1</h4>', md, flags=re.M)
    md = re.sub(r'^## (.+)$', r'<h3>\1</h3>', md, flags=re.M)
    md = re.sub(r'^# (.+)$', r'<h2>\1</h2>', md, flags=re.M)
    md = re.sub(r'\*\*\*(.+?)\*\*\*', r'<strong><em>\1</em></strong>', md)
    md = re.sub(r'\*\*(.+?)\*\*', r'<strong>\1</strong>', md)
    md = re.sub(r'\*(.+?)\*', r'<em>\1</em>', md)
    md = re.sub(r'\[([^\]]+)\]\(([^)]+)\)', r'<a href="\2">\1</a>', md)
    md = re.sub(r'^- (.+)$', r'<li>\1</li>', md, flags=re.M)
    md = re.sub(r'(<li>.*</li>\n?)+', r'<ul>\g<0></ul>', md)
    md = re.sub(r'^(?!<[a-z/]|$)(.+)$', r'<p>\1</p>', md, flags=re.M)
    return md.strip()

Notes

  • Content must be HTML, not raw Markdown
  • Special chars in title auto-handled by WordPress
  • Article link format: https://your-blog.com/archives/{ID} (varies by permalink setting)
  • For scheduled posts: "status":"future","date":"2026-06-10T09:00:00"
