WordPress integration

Overview

Connects a workflow to a WordPress site through the WP REST API v2. Create, read, update and delete posts, pages and users, and filter or page through large collections. You control the details WordPress exposes — publication status and date, categories and tags, post formats, sticky posts, comment and pingback settings, page hierarchy and menu order, and theme templates (including Elementor’s). Authentication uses an application password, so the node works against any WordPress 5.6 or newer site without an extra plugin.

Output Data

The node merges the WordPress response onto the input item JSON — the incoming fields pass through, and anything WordPress returns under the same key replaces them (id, title, status and date are the usual collisions). Binary data on the input item is forwarded unchanged.

Create, Get, Update and Delete produce one output item per input item. Get Many fans out: every post, page or user in the response becomes its own output item, so a single input item can produce hundreds. When a list comes back empty, that input item produces no output items at all.

Resource / Operation	Output items	Item JSON
Post / Page / User: Create	one per input item	Input JSON merged with the record WordPress created
Post / Page / User: Get	one per input item	Input JSON merged with the requested record
Post / Page / User: Update	one per input item	Input JSON merged with the updated record
Post / Page / User: Get Many	one per record returned	Input JSON merged with that record
Post / Page: Delete	one per input item	Input JSON merged with the delete response; nothing is merged when WordPress replies with no content
User: Delete	one per input item	Input JSON merged with the delete response

The fields inside each record are whatever the WP REST API returns for that resource, which depends on the Context option — edit exposes the most fields, embed the fewest. Reference them downstream by expression, for example {{ $json.id }}.

Example Configuration

Create a draft post from an upstream item, with categories and tags given as numeric IDs:

{
  "type": "wordpress",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "post",
    "operation": "create",
    "title": "{{ $json.title }}",
    "additionalFields": {
      "content": "{{ $json.html }}",
      "status": "draft",
      "categories": "5,12",
      "tags": "31",
      "commentStatus": "open",
      "format": "standard"
    }
  }
}

Publish a post that already exists on the site:

{
  "type": "wordpress",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "post",
    "operation": "update",
    "postId": "{{ $json.id }}",
    "updateFields": {
      "status": "publish",
      "date": "{{ $datetime.now }}"
    }
  }
}

Fetch the twenty most recent published posts that match a search term:

{
  "type": "wordpress",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "post",
    "operation": "getAll",
    "returnAll": false,
    "limit": 20,
    "options": {
      "status": "publish",
      "orderBy": "date",
      "order": "desc",
      "search": "{{ $json.keyword }}"
    }
  }
}

Create a child page that renders with an Elementor template:

{
  "type": "wordpress",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "page",
    "operation": "create",
    "title": "{{ $json.name }}",
    "additionalFields": {
      "content": "{{ $json.body }}",
      "status": "publish",
      "parent": 10,
      "menuOrder": 1,
      "commentStatus": "closed",
      "template": "elementor_canvas"
    }
  }
}

Create a user account from a signup record:

{
  "type": "wordpress",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "user",
    "operation": "create",
    "username": "{{ $json.username }}",
    "name": "{{ $json.fullName }}",
    "firstName": "{{ $json.firstName }}",
    "lastName": "{{ $json.lastName }}",
    "email": "{{ $json.email }}",
    "password": "{{ $json.tempPassword }}",
    "additionalFields": {
      "nickname": "{{ $json.firstName }}",
      "url": "{{ $json.website }}"
    }
  }
}

Delete a page permanently instead of moving it to the trash:

{
  "type": "wordpress",
  "parameters": {
    "resource": "page",
    "operation": "delete",
    "pageId": "{{ $json.pageId }}",
    "options": {
      "force": true
    }
  }
}

Error Handling

Mode	Behavior
stop	Halts workflow on first error
continue	Skips failed items, passes successful ones through
errorPort	Routes failed items to Error output port

Tips

This tool manages WordPress posts, pages, and users. It is the right tool when you need to create, retrieve, update, or delete content and user accounts on a WordPress site, offering comprehensive control over these resources. It produces changes to the WordPress site, such as new or modified posts, pages, and users, or provides information about existing content and user details.

Behavior notes

• Categories and Tags take numeric IDs. Pass a comma-separated list of IDs such as 5,12; category or tag names are rejected. Look the IDs up in WordPress Admin > Posts > Categories or > Tags.
• Get Many fans out. Each record returned becomes its own output item, so a node that follows a getAll runs once per post, page or user.
• Return All pages through the whole collection. Turn it off and set Limit when you only want the newest few — that is much cheaper on a large site.
• Deleting a post or page moves it to the trash unless you turn on Force in Options. Deleting a user is always permanent and always requires a Reassign user ID to inherit their content.
• Post ID, Page ID and User ID accept expressions, and fall back to the matching field on the incoming item (postId, pageId, userId) when you leave them empty.
• The site URL must use HTTPS. The application password travels with every request, so plain HTTP is refused.
