WordPress Integration

Reaudit's WordPress integration has two modes:

Follow these steps to start tracking AI bot crawls on your WordPress site.

1. Go to your Reaudit Dashboard
2. Navigate to Tools → WordPress
3. Click the Tracking Setup tab
4. Click “Generate New Key”
5. Give it a name (e.g. “My WordPress Site”) and optionally add your site URL
6. Copy the generated API key immediately — you won't see it again

1. In the Reaudit dashboard, click “Download Plugin” to get reaudit-tracking.zip
2. In WordPress Admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
3. Upload the .zip file and click Install Now
4. Activate the plugin
5. Go to Settings → Reaudit Tracking
6. Paste your API key and click Save

The plugin adds a lightweight tracking script to your site:

<!-- Reaudit Tracking (added automatically by plugin) -->
<script>
  (function() {
    var r = document.createElement('script');
    r.src = 'https://reaudit.io/api/site-tracking/track';
    r.async = true;
    r.dataset.key = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
    document.head.appendChild(r);
  })();
</script>

After activating the plugin, verify it's working:

1. Go back to Reaudit Dashboard → WordPress → Tracking Setup
2. Your API key should show “Active” status with a usage count
3. Click “View Analytics” to see real-time bot crawl data

What gets tracked

• ✓Bot crawls — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and more
• ✓Page views — Which pages are being crawled and how often
• ✓Citation analytics — Track when AI search engines reference your content
• ✓Visitor activity — Real-time traffic monitoring

Connect WordPress via REST API to publish content from Reaudit's Content Factory directly to your blog.

1. Log into your WordPress Admin
2. Go to Users → Profile (or click your name in the top right)
3. Scroll down to the “Application Passwords” section
4. Enter “Reaudit Integration” as the name
5. Click “Add New Application Password”
6. Copy the generated password immediately (format: xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx)

Can't find Application Passwords? Some security plugins disable this feature. You can also enable it manually:

// wp-config.php — enable Application Passwords if missing
define('WP_APPLICATION_PASSWORDS', true);

1. Go to Reaudit Dashboard → Tools → WordPress → Publishing tab
2. Click “Add Connection”
3. Enter your Site URL (e.g. https://yoursite.com)
4. Enter your Site Name, Username, and Application Password
5. Click “Test Connection” to verify
6. Once successful, click “Add Connection” to save

A successful test shows your WordPress version, authenticated user, and publishing permissions.

After connecting, test that content can be published:

1. In the Add Connection dialog, click “Test Blog Post”
2. Reaudit creates a draft post on your WordPress site
3. Check your WordPress dashboard — you should see the test post in Posts → All Posts

The WordPress REST API must be enabled for publishing. It's enabled by default in WordPress 4.7+.

Verify REST API

1. Visit yoursite.com/wp-json in your browser
2. You should see JSON data about your site
3. If you get an error, check if security plugins (Wordfence, Sucuri, iThemes Security) are blocking the REST API
4. Go to Settings → Permalinks and ensure you're not using “Plain” permalinks. Click “Save Changes” to refresh rewrite rules.

The WordPress user you connect with must have publishing permissions:
