This guide walks through installing the Rext AI plugin and connecting it to Rext AI, so you can publish finished articles to your site in one click.
Step 01
Install the WordPress plugin
Download the rext.ai Plugin, Go to your WordPress Admin Dashboard and navigate to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
Upload the plugin .zip file and click Install Now. After installation, click Activate. OR On the WordPress Admin Dashboard, go to Plugins and type RextAI or rextai. Rext AI plugin appears on top.
Then click on install now.
Step 02
Open the Rext AI menu
After activation, a new menu called Rext AI will appear in the left sidebar of the WordPress admin panel.
Click Rext AI to open its settings, and turn Enable Integration on there. The page shows your site URL, an API key and the API endpoint, each with a Copy button.
Step 03
Open Integrations
In Rext AI, open Setup › Integrations in the sidebar and click Connect on the WordPress card.
Its fields ask for what the plugin's settings show: your site's address, the API key and the plugin endpoint.
Step 04
Add your site's address
Copy the Site URL from the plugin's settings and paste it into the Site address field.
https://yourwebsite.com
Step 05
Enter API key
Copy the API Key from the plugin's settings and paste it into the API key field.
Step 06
Check the plugin endpoint
The Plugin endpoint field fills itself once the address is in; change it only if your site moved its REST API. Then click Connect site: Rext AI checks the plugin before it saves. The endpoint has this shape:
https://yourwebsite.com/wp-json/rext-ai/v1/
Step 07
Generate an article in Rext AI
In Rext AI, click Generate in the sidebar and follow the steps from a keyword to a finished article. Read it, and change what you need with Edit, then Save.
Step 08
Publish the article
When the article is ready, open Publish above its Checklist, on the right. On a smaller screen, tap Checklist at the bottom first. Choose Publish, Save as Draft, Submit for Review or Schedule for Later, and confirm.
It goes to your WordPress site as a live post, a draft or for review, now or on a schedule. No copy and paste.
You're all set.
Your Rext AI account is now connected to WordPress. Each article you publish goes to your site with its formatting, metadata and featured image: live, as a draft, for review or on a schedule.
