Who this is for
You run a WordPress site, the blog is the part of it that never gets done, and the plugins you installed to fix that produce text you would not sign. The problem is rarely the writing itself. It is that nothing decides what to write about, nothing settles the shape before the words, and nothing stops a draft nobody read from becoming a published page.
PrismDraft is one pipeline for that. Your site address becomes a project: what you sell, who you sell it to, the tone your existing pages use, and the visual style your existing images have. From that project come topic suggestions, each with a working title, a primary keyword, a search intent and a topic cluster, waiting in Planning until you pick one.
The WordPress connection is at the end, not the beginning. An article is only publishable from the approved state, and when it publishes, the post carries the title, the slug you edited, the full HTML with the cover and every section image and its alt text, and the meta description as the post excerpt. The connection is configured to publish or to leave a draft, so you can keep a last look inside WordPress if you want one.
- Works with self-hosted WordPress through the REST API and an application password — no plugin to install.
- A post arrives with its title, slug, HTML body, cover and section images with alt text, and the meta description as the excerpt.
- Publishing is only available on an approved article, so nothing posts that nobody read.
From your WordPress site to a published post
- 01
Give it your site address
PrismDraft reads your pages and drafts the project, the audience, the brand voice and the image style. Edit the draft before saving; everything after this uses it.
- 02
Pick a suggested topic
Suggestions carry a working title, a primary keyword, a search intent and a cluster, and avoid keywords the project already covers. You can also type your own.
- 03
Approve the outline
A heading per section with that section's job, its keywords and a target length. Rename, reorder, cut, approve. Outlines cost no credits, so the structure is settled for free.
- 04
Run the article
About 7 credits for 1,200 words and three images, quoted before you start. Each section is written against its heading; each image is prompted from the paragraphs beside it and arrives with alt text.
- 05
Approve, then publish to WordPress
Review with versions and comments, edit by hand or with AI, then approve. The post is created over the REST API — or updated, if it was published from here before — as a live post or a draft.
Ten topics from one WordPress site
These came from a single website address — a garden design studio. Each carries the keyword it is written around and the intent behind it. PrismDraft never claims to know a search volume.
The outline PrismDraft proposes for the cost question
Approved before any prose, and before the run is paid for. A cost page is where a WordPress blog usually goes wrong: it either refuses to give a number or gives one with no basis.
- H2The honest range, and what moves itGive a figure in the first screen, then earn the rest of the read.
- H2What you are paying forDesign time, drawings, plants, hard landscaping, labour — each named.
- H3Where the money usually goesOne concrete breakdown, with assumptions stated.
- H2Three ways to spend less without a worse gardenSpecific, practical and not patronising.
- H2What a quote should itemiseA short checklist that makes the page worth bookmarking.
- H2How to brief usClose with the next step on this site, not a generic CTA.
An outline costs no credits, which is why it is the step to argue with. The draft is written against the headings you approved, section by section.
What actually lands in WordPress
The post body is the article's own document rendered as HTML, so headings stay headings and lists stay lists rather than arriving as a wall of paragraphs. WordPress's REST API has no featured-image field in this integration, so the cover travels inside the HTML as the first figure, and every section image is referenced from the body with the alt text you approved. The images are served from PrismDraft's own storage rather than copied into your media library.
The post excerpt is set from the meta description you edited. A meta title for an SEO plugin is not something the REST API exposes, so if you use one, set the title there — the rest of the on-page work is in the article itself.
If you would rather nothing ever appeared on the site without a last look inside WordPress, set the connection to publish drafts: the article is marked published in PrismDraft and sits in your WordPress drafts. If you would rather it went live on a date, a publishing plan can schedule it — the publication date is sent as GMT, so it does not drift with your site's timezone — and a plan with Autopilot on will write, approve and publish each entry on its day up to the plan's credit cap.
Questions
Does this work with WordPress.com as well as self-hosted?
It is built against the WordPress REST API with an application password, which is how a self-hosted site exposes it. A WordPress.com site needs that API available on your plan; if it is not, publish by webhook or copy the exported article.
Will it overwrite a post I edited in WordPress?
Publishing again updates the post it created, so an edit you made only in WordPress can be replaced. Edit in PrismDraft and publish, or treat WordPress as the final home and stop republishing.
What happens to images?
Every image is generated at the size the article needs, stripped of metadata and compressed, and served from PrismDraft's storage. The post's HTML references them, with the alt text you approved. They are not copied into your WordPress media library, so moving away from PrismDraft means rehosting them.
Can I set the category and the author?
The author is the WordPress user whose application password the connection uses. Categories and tags are not sent: the post arrives uncategorised, and if you file posts by category, do it in WordPress or with a rule there.
How much does one post cost?
About 7 credits for the defaults — 1,200 words with three images — shown before the run starts. Plans include 150 credits for €29 a month, 450 for €79 and 1,400 for €199; outlines and AI edits are free and a failed run costs nothing.
Can it publish without me approving?
Only if you switch Autopilot on for a publishing plan, which writes, approves and publishes that plan's entries on their day up to its credit cap. Otherwise approval is required and cannot be skipped.
