How It Works

Find Your WordPress Integration

List your connected accounts and grab your WordPress integration ID. You can also fetch available settings to see what options are supported.

Discovery

# List all integrations
postiz integrations:list

# Filter for WordPress
postiz integrations:list | jq \
  '.[] | select(.identifier=="wordpress")'

# Get WordPress settings schema
postiz integrations:settings <wordpress-id>

Prepare Your Content

Write your content and optionally upload a featured image. WordPress supports HTML content for rich formatting.

Upload

# Upload a featured image (optional)
RESULT=$(postiz upload featured.jpg)
IMAGE_PATH=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.path')
IMAGE_ID=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.id')

echo "Featured: $IMAGE_PATH"
# https://uploads.postiz.com/featured.jpg

Create Your Post

Create a WordPress post or page with your content, title, featured image, and content type settings.

Publish

postiz posts:create \
  -c "Post content..." \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{
    "title": "10 Tips for Better Code Reviews",
    "main_image": {
      "id": "img-id",
      "path": "https://uploads.postiz.com/featured.jpg"
    },
    "type": "post"
  }' \
  -i "wordpress-id"

  - name: daily_social_posts
    schedule: "0 9 * * 1-5"
    prompt: |
      Check ~/content/posts for new
      .txt files. For each one, read

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz Agent works as a CLI tool with any AI agent that can execute shell commands — including Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the SKILL.md file to learn all available Postiz commands, then autonomously discovers your WordPress integration, uploads your featured image, sets the content type, and publishes the post.

Claude Code

> Publish my code review tips article
  to WordPress as a blog post with
  a featured image

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz upload ./featured.jpg
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "$(cat code-review-tips.md)" \
    -s "2025-03-02T09:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"title":
      "10 Tips for Better Code Reviews",
      "main_image":{"id":"...",
        "path":"uploaded-url"},
      "type":"post"}' \
    -i "wordpress-id"

WordPress + Other Platforms

Publish the same content to WordPress and other platforms in a single command. Each platform gets its own settings.

Terminal

# Cross-post an article to WordPress and Medium
postiz posts:create \
  -c "$(cat article.md)" \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{
    "title": "Building Scalable APIs",
    "main_image": {
      "id": "img-id",
      "path": "https://uploads.postiz.com/api-cover.jpg"
    },
    "type": "post"
  }' \
  -i "wordpress-id,medium-id"
