WordPress-Specific Features

📝

Posts & Pages

🖼

Featured Images

Upload and set featured images for your posts and pages. Eye-catching thumbnails drive more clicks from your site.

📄

Content Management

Manage your WordPress content programmatically. Create, schedule, and organize posts without touching the admin panel.

📅

Scheduled Publishing

Schedule posts and pages for future publication with precise timestamps. Plan your content calendar in advance.

🤖

AI-Powered Workflows

Let AI agents draft, format, and publish your WordPress content. From idea to published post without manual intervention.

🔄

Multi-Site Support

Connect multiple WordPress sites and publish to any of them. Manage all your sites from a single Postiz account.

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"

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is the open-source personal AI agent with 145k+ GitHub stars. It runs locally on your machine, connects through apps you already use, and takes real actions on your behalf.

💬

Works Where You Are

Message OpenClaw from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, iMessage, or 10+ other platforms. No new app to learn.

🧩

Skill-Based Architecture

OpenClaw extends its abilities through Skills — lightweight plugins defined in Markdown files. Postiz is available as a skill on ClawHub.

⏰

Proactive Automation

Schedule recurring tasks with cron jobs. OpenClaw can publish your WordPress content on a schedule without you having to ask each time.

How Postiz Becomes an OpenClaw Skill

When you install Postiz Agent globally, OpenClaw automatically discovers it by reading the bundled SKILL.md file. This file tells OpenClaw what commands are available, what environment variables are needed, and how to compose WordPress posts with the right settings.

✓Install from ClawHub with one command: clawhub install nevo-david/postiz
✓OpenClaw reads the SKILL.md and learns all Postiz commands
✓Eligibility is checked automatically — POSTIZ_API_KEY must be set
✓Skills are loaded on-demand, keeping the agent context clean
✓Works with any LLM backend: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, and more

Install from ClawHub

# Install the Postiz skill
clawhub install nevo-david/postiz

# Or install the CLI globally
npm install -g postiz

# Set your API key
export POSTIZ_API_KEY=your_api_key

# Verify OpenClaw sees it
openclaw skills list --eligible

# Output:
# - postiz: Social media automation
#   CLI for scheduling posts
#   across 30+ platforms

WordPress Publishing with OpenClaw

Message OpenClaw from any platform — it reads the Postiz skill, discovers your WordPress integration, and handles the entire publishing workflow autonomously.

From Any Chat App

WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord...

Send a message to OpenClaw from your favorite chat app. It runs as a persistent daemon on your machine, so it picks up your message, discovers your WordPress site via Postiz, formats the post, and publishes it — all while you go about your day.

WhatsApp / Telegram

You: Publish my code review tips
  article to WordPress as a blog post
  with the featured image from ~/img/

OpenClaw: Got it! Here's what I'll do:
  1. Upload featured image to Postiz
  2. Read your draft from ~/drafts/tips.md
  3. Publish as a WordPress blog post

  Done! Your WordPress post is live.
  Post ID: abc-123

Scheduled & Proactive

Cron jobs for recurring content

OpenClaw supports cron-based heartbeat tasks. Set up a recurring job that checks a folder for new drafts and publishes them to WordPress automatically — no manual trigger needed.

openclaw.json (heartbeat)

{
  "heartbeat": [
    {
      "cron": "0 8 * * 1-5",
      "prompt": "Check ~/wordpress/pending
  for new .md files. For each one,
  extract the title, upload any
  featured image, publish to
  WordPress as a blog post. Move
  published files to
  ~/wordpress/published."
    }
  ]
}

Why OpenClaw + Postiz for WordPress

OpenClaw's skill system makes Postiz a natural fit. The agent reads the SKILL.md to understand every available command, then autonomously chains them together for WordPress workflows.

✓Message from WhatsApp to publish a WordPress post — no terminal needed
✓Cron jobs for hands-free daily publishing schedules
✓Structured JSON output lets OpenClaw verify each step succeeded
✓Featured images uploaded and attached automatically
✓Cross-post to WordPress + other platforms in a single conversation
✓Model-agnostic — works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, or open-source LLMs

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 '{

    "main_image": {
      "id": "img-id",
      "path": "https://uploads.postiz.com/api-cover.jpg"
    },
    "type": "post"
  }' \
  -i "wordpress-id,medium-id"

# Batch schedule a week of WordPress posts
