## 1. System Overview
### Architecture Summary
IGNY8 integrates with WordPress sites through a **custom WordPress plugin** (`igny8-wp-bridge`) that:
- Receives content from IGNY8 via a custom REST endpoint (`/wp-json/igny8/v1/publish`)
- Sends status updates back to IGNY8 via webhooks
- **Authenticates using API key ONLY** (stored in Site.wp_api_key - single source of truth)
- Auto-updates via IGNY8 plugin distribution system (v1.7.0+)
- Supports advanced template rendering with image layouts
- **No WordPress admin credentials required** (username/password authentication deprecated)
### Communication Pattern
```
IGNY8 App ←→ WordPress Site
│ │
│ HTTP POST │
├─────────────→│ Publish content via /wp-json/igny8/v1/publish
│ │
│ HTTP POST │
│←─────────────┤ Webhook status updates via /api/v1/integration/webhooks/wordpress/status/
│ │
│ HTTP GET │
├─────────────→│ Check plugin updates via /wp-json/igny8/v1/check-update
│ │
```

---
## 2. Integration Setup Flow
### 2.1 Pre-requisites (WordPress Side)
1. WordPress 5.6+ with REST API enabled
2. Pretty permalinks enabled (Settings → Permalinks)
3. IGNY8 WordPress Bridge plugin v1.3.0+ installed and activated
4. No security plugins blocking REST API
### 2.2 Plugin Installation (Updated v1.7.0)
**Option 1: Manual Download & Install**
- User downloads latest plugin from IGNY8 app
- Frontend: Site Settings → WordPress Integration → Download Plugin
- Download endpoint: `https://api.igny8.com/api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/download/`
- Installs in WordPress: Plugins → Add New → Upload ZIP
**Option 2: Direct URL Install**
- WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
- Paste ZIP URL with signed download token
- Plugin installs and auto-registers with IGNY8
**Plugin Auto-Update:**
- WordPress checks for updates every 12 hours
- Plugin hooks into `pre_set_site_transient_update_plugins`
- Compares current version with latest from IGNY8 API
- Notifies admin if update available
- Can be updated via WordPress admin (one-click)
### 2.3 Setup Steps (User Flow)
**Step 1: User navigates to Site Settings**
- Frontend: `/sites/{id}/settings` → WordPress Integration section
- Component: `WordPressIntegrationForm.tsx`
**Step 2: User clicks "Generate API Key"**
- Frontend calls: `POST /v1/integration/integrations/generate-api-key/`
- Body: `{ "site_id": 123 }`
- Backend stores API key in `Site.wp_api_key` field (SINGLE source of truth)
- Creates/updates `SiteIntegration` record with empty credentials_json
**Step 3: User configures WordPress plugin**
- Configures plugin with:
- IGNY8 API URL: `https://api.igny8.com`
- Site API Key: (copied from IGNY8)
- Site ID: (shown in IGNY8)
- **Note:** No WordPress admin credentials needed
**Step 4: Test Connection**
- Plugin calls: `POST https://api.igny8.com/api/v1/integration/integrations/test-connection/`
- Headers: `Authorization: Bearer {api_key}`
- Body: `{ "site_id": 123, "api_key": "...", "site_url": "https://..." }`
- Backend validates API key against `Site.wp_api_key`
- Success: SiteIntegration created with empty credentials_json, plugin registers installation
- Failure: Error message displayed
### 2.4 Data Created During Setup
**SiteIntegration Record:**
```json
{
"id": 1,
"site_id": 123,
"account_id": 456,
"platform": "wordpress",
"platform_type": "cms",
"config_json": {
"site_url": "https://example.com"
},
"credentials_json": {
"plugin_version": "1.3.4",
"debug_enabled": false
},
"is_active": true,
"sync_enabled": true,
"sync_status": "pending",
"_note": "API key stored in Site.wp_api_key, not in credentials_json"
}
```
**Site Model (API Key Storage):**
```json
{
"id": 123,
"name": "Example Site",
"url": "https://example.com",
"wp_api_key": "igny8_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"hosting_type": "wordpress"
}
```
---
## 2.5 Authentication Architecture (v1.3.4+)
### API Key as Single Source of Truth
**Storage:**
- API key stored in `Site.wp_api_key` field (Django backend)
- Plugin stores same API key in WordPress options table: `igny8_api_key`
- SiteIntegration.credentials_json does NOT contain API key
**Authentication Flow (IGNY8 → WordPress):**
```python
# Backend: publisher_service.py
destination_config = {
'site_url': integration.config_json.get('site_url'),
'api_key': integration.site.wp_api_key # From Site model
}
# WordPress Adapter: wordpress_adapter.py
headers = {
'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
requests.post(f"{site_url}/wp-json/igny8/v1/publish", headers=headers, json=payload)
```
**Authentication Flow (WordPress → IGNY8):**
```php
// Plugin: class-igny8-api.php
$api_key = get_option('igny8_api_key');
$headers = array(
'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $api_key,
'Content-Type' => 'application/json'
);
wp_remote_post('https://api.igny8.com/api/v1/...', array('headers' => $headers));
```
**Validation (WordPress Side):**
```php
// Plugin: class-igny8-rest-api.php
public function check_permission($request) {
// Check X-IGNY8-API-KEY header
$header_api_key = $request->get_header('x-igny8-api-key');
// Check Authorization Bearer header
$auth_header = $request->get_header('Authorization');
$stored_api_key = get_option('igny8_api_key');
if (hash_equals($stored_api_key, $header_api_key) ||
strpos($auth_header, 'Bearer ' . $stored_api_key) !== false) {
return true;
}
return new WP_Error('rest_forbidden', 'Invalid API key', array('status' => 401));
}
```
### Deprecated Authentication Methods
**No Longer Supported (removed in v1.3.4):**
- ❌ Username/password authentication
- ❌ App passwords via WordPress REST API
- ❌ OAuth/token exchange
- ❌ Webhook signature validation (webhooks deprecated)
- ❌ Storing API key in SiteIntegration.credentials_json
**Legacy Fields (do not use):**
- `Site.wp_username` - deprecated
- `Site.wp_app_password` - deprecated
- `Site.wp_url` - deprecated (use SiteIntegration.config_json.site_url)
---
## 3. Manual Publishing Flow
### 3.1 Trigger Points
1. **Content Review Page** - "Publish to WordPress" button
2. **Content Approved Page** - Publish action in context menu
3. **Bulk Actions** - Select multiple, publish all
### 3.2 Detailed Flow
**Step 1: User clicks "Publish to WordPress"**
- Frontend: `ContentViewSet.publish` action called
- Endpoint: `POST /api/v1/writer/content/{id}/publish/`
- Optional body: `{ "site_integration_id": 123 }`
**Step 2: Backend validates content**
- Checks content exists and belongs to user's site
- Checks content not already published (`external_id` must be null)
- Finds active WordPress integration for the site
- Error if no integration found
**Step 3: Optimistic status update**
- Content status changed to `published` immediately
- User sees success message
- Actual WordPress publishing happens async
**Step 4: Celery task queued**
- Task: `publish_content_to_wordpress.delay(content_id, site_integration_id)`
- Task name: `igny8_core.tasks.wordpress_publishing`
**Step 5: Celery task execution (Background)**
The task performs these steps:
1. **Load data** - Get Content and SiteIntegration from database
2. **Check if already published** - Skip if `external_id` exists
3. **Generate excerpt** - Strip HTML, take first 150 chars
4. **Load taxonomy terms** - Categories from `taxonomy_terms` M2M field, fallback to cluster name
5. **Load tags** - From `taxonomy_terms` + primary/secondary keywords
6. **Load images** - Featured image and gallery images, convert paths to URLs
7. **Build payload:**
```json
{
"content_id": 123,
"title": "Post Title",
"content_html": "<p>Full HTML content...</p>",
"excerpt": "Short excerpt...",
"status": "publish",
"seo_title": "SEO Title",
"seo_description": "Meta description",
"primary_keyword": "main keyword",
"secondary_keywords": ["kw1", "kw2"],
"featured_image_url": "https://app.igny8.com/images/...",
"gallery_images": [{ "url": "...", "alt": "", "caption": "" }],
"categories": ["Category Name"],
"tags": ["tag1", "tag2"]
}
```
8. **Send to WordPress:**
- URL: `{site_url}/wp-json/igny8/v1/publish`
- Headers: `X-IGNY8-API-Key: {api_key}`
- Method: POST
- Timeout: 30 seconds
**Step 6: Process WordPress response**
| HTTP Code | Meaning | Action |
|-----------|---------|--------|
| 201 | Created | Update content with `external_id`, `external_url`, log success |
| 409 | Already exists | Update content with existing WordPress post data |
| 4xx/5xx | Error | Log failure, retry up to 3 times with exponential backoff |
**Step 7: Update IGNY8 content record**
```python
content.external_id = str(wp_post_id)
content.external_url = wp_post_url
content.status = 'published'
content.metadata['wordpress_status'] = 'publish'
content.save()
```
**Step 8: Create SyncEvent record**
```python
SyncEvent.objects.create(
integration=site_integration,
site=content.site,
account=content.account,
event_type='publish',
action='content_publish',
description=f"Published content '{title}' to WordPress",
success=True,
content_id=content.id,
external_id=external_id,
details={...}
)
```
### 3.3 Error Handling
- **Timeout**: Retry after 60 seconds (first attempt), then exponentially
- **Connection Error**: Same retry logic
- **Max Retries**: 3 attempts total
- **Final Failure**: SyncEvent created with `success=False`, error logged
---
## 4. Automation Publishing Flow
### 4.1 Automation Stage 7: Review → Published
Automation Stage 7 handles auto-approval and publishing:
**Current Implementation:**
- Content in `review` status is changed to `published` status
- Status change only - **NO automatic WordPress push currently implemented**
- Lock released, automation run marked complete
**What DOES NOT happen automatically:**
- No `publish_content_to_wordpress` task is triggered
- Content sits in `published` status waiting for manual publish or scheduled task
### 4.2 Scheduled Publishing Task (NOT CURRENTLY SCHEDULED)
There exists a task `process_pending_wordpress_publications()` that:
- Finds content with `status='published'` and `external_id=NULL`
- Queues each item to `publish_content_to_wordpress` task
- Processes max 50 items per run
**CURRENT STATUS: This task is NOT in Celery Beat schedule!**
Looking at `celery.py`, the beat schedule includes:
- `check-scheduled-automations` (hourly)
- `replenish-monthly-credits` (monthly)
- Various maintenance tasks
**Missing:**
- `process_pending_wordpress_publications` is NOT scheduled
### 4.3 To Enable Auto-Publishing After Automation
Two options:
**Option A: Add to Celery Beat Schedule**
```python
'process-pending-wordpress-publications': {
'task': 'igny8_core.tasks.wordpress_publishing.process_pending_wordpress_publications',
'schedule': crontab(minute='*/5'), # Every 5 minutes
},
```
**Option B: Call directly from Stage 7**
Modify `run_stage_7()` to queue publish tasks for each approved content item.
---
## 5. Webhook Sync Flow (WordPress → IGNY8)
### 5.1 Purpose
Keeps IGNY8 in sync when content is modified directly in WordPress:
- Post status changed (published → draft, etc.)
- Post deleted/trashed
- Post metadata updated
### 5.2 Webhook Endpoints
| Endpoint | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `POST /api/v1/integration/webhooks/wordpress/status/` | Status changes |
| `POST /api/v1/integration/webhooks/wordpress/metadata/` | Metadata updates |
### 5.3 Status Webhook Flow
**Step 1: WordPress plugin detects status change**
- Hooks into `transition_post_status` action
- Collects: post_id, content_id, new_status, post_url
**Step 2: Plugin sends webhook to IGNY8**
```
POST https://app.igny8.com/api/v1/integration/webhooks/wordpress/status/
Headers:
X-IGNY8-API-KEY: {api_key}
Body:
{
"post_id": 123,
"content_id": 456,
"post_status": "publish",
"post_url": "https://example.com/my-post/",
"post_title": "My Post Title",
"site_url": "https://example.com"
}
```
**Step 3: IGNY8 validates and processes**
1. Extract API key from header
2. Find Content by `content_id`
3. Find SiteIntegration by site_url + platform
4. Verify API key matches stored key
5. Map WordPress status to IGNY8 status:
| WordPress | IGNY8 |
|-----------|-------|
| publish | published |
| draft | draft |
| pending | review |
| private | published |
| trash | draft |
| future | review |
6. Update Content record:
```python
content.external_id = str(post_id)
content.external_url = post_url
content.status = mapped_status
content.metadata['wordpress_status'] = post_status
content.metadata['last_wp_sync'] = now
content.save()
```
7. Create SyncEvent log
### 5.4 Metadata Webhook Flow
Similar to status webhook but updates `content.metadata['wp_metadata']` with:
- Categories
- Tags
- Author info
- Modified date
---
## 6. Metadata Sync Flow
### 6.1 Manual Sync (User-Initiated)
**Trigger:** User clicks "Sync Now" in Site Settings
**Endpoint:** `POST /api/v1/integration/integrations/{id}/sync/`
**What it does:**
- Calls `SyncMetadataService.sync_wordpress_structure()`
- Fetches from WordPress:
- Post types and counts
- Categories list
- Tags list
- Site metadata
- Updates integration's `last_sync_at`
- Does NOT push/pull content
### 6.2 Structure Update
**Endpoint:** `POST /api/v1/integration/integrations/{id}/update_structure/`
Refreshes understanding of WordPress site:
- Available post types
- Taxonomy structures
- Capabilities

## 8. Current Implementation Gaps
### 8.1 Missing: Scheduled Auto-Publishing
**Problem:** Content approved by Automation Stage 7 is not automatically pushed to WordPress.
**Current State:**
- `process_pending_wordpress_publications()` task exists
- Task is NOT in Celery Beat schedule
- Content remains in `published` status with `external_id=NULL`
**Impact:** Users must manually publish each content item even after automation completes.
### 8.2 Missing: Pull Sync (WordPress → IGNY8 Content)
**Problem:** No way to import existing WordPress posts into IGNY8.
**Current State:**
- Webhooks only handle status updates for content that originated from IGNY8
- No "Import from WordPress" feature
- No scheduled pull sync
### 8.3 Missing: Content Update Sync
**Problem:** Editing content in IGNY8 after publishing doesn't update WordPress.
**Current State:**
- Only initial publish is supported
- No "republish" or "update" functionality
- `external_id` check prevents re-publishing
### 8.4 Missing: Image Upload to WordPress
**Problem:** Featured images are passed as URLs, not uploaded to WordPress media library.
**Current State:**
- Image URL is sent in payload
- WordPress plugin must download and create attachment
- If plugin doesn't handle this, no featured image
---
## 8. Plugin Distribution System
### 8.1 Architecture (v1.7.0)
**Plugin Distribution Components:**
- `Plugin` model - Multi-platform plugin registry
- `PluginVersion` model - Version tracking with files and checksums
- `PluginInstallation` model - Installation tracking per site
- `PluginDownload` model - Download analytics
**Distribution Endpoints:**
```
GET /api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/download/ - Download latest ZIP
POST /api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/check-update/ - Check for updates
GET /api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/info/ - Plugin metadata
POST /api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/register/ - Register installation
POST /api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/health-check/ - Health monitoring
```
### 8.2 Auto-Update Mechanism
**WordPress Side:**
1. Plugin hooks into `pre_set_site_transient_update_plugins`
2. Calls `/api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/check-update/` with current version
3. Receives update info if newer version available
4. WordPress displays update notification
5. User clicks "Update Now" (or auto-update runs)
6. WordPress downloads ZIP from `/download/` endpoint
7. Installs and activates new version
**IGNY8 Side:**
1. Developer updates plugin source code
2. Creates new `PluginVersion` in Django admin
3. Changes status to "released"
4. Signal automatically builds ZIP with checksums
5. Files stored in `/plugins/wordpress/dist/`
6. WordPress sites can now download/update
### 8.3 Version History (Recent)
| Version | Date | Changes |
|---------|------|---------|| 1.3.4 | Jan 12, 2026 | **API key authentication only** (removed username/password support), webhooks deprecated, Bearer token auth, simplified integration || 1.3.3 | Jan 10, 2026 | Template design: Square image grid fixes, landscape positioning, direct styling for images without captions |
| 1.3.2 | Jan 9, 2026 | Template rendering improvements, image layout enhancements |
| 1.3.1 | Jan 9, 2026 | Plugin versioning updates |
| 1.3.0 | Jan 8, 2026 | Distribution system release, auto-update mechanism |
### 8.4 Security Features
- **Signed URLs:** Download links expire after configurable time
- **Checksums:** MD5 and SHA256 verification
- **Rate Limiting:** Per IP/site download limits
- **API Authentication:** Required for sensitive operations
- **Version Verification:** WordPress validates plugin before update
### 8.5 Monitoring
**Installation Tracking:**
- Total installations per version
- Active installations by site
- Version distribution analytics
**Download Analytics:**
- Download counts per version
- Geographic distribution
- Failed download attempts
**Health Checks:**
- Plugin health status per installation
- Error reporting from WordPress sites
- Version compatibility tracking

**Key Changes in v1.3.4:**
- ✅ API key stored in `Site.wp_api_key` (not in SiteIntegration)
- ✅ `credentials_json` is empty (only stores plugin_version, debug_enabled)
- ✅ Authentication via `Authorization: Bearer {api_key}` header
- ✅ No WordPress admin username/password needed
- ✅ Simplified setup - single API key for all communication
