IGNY8 WordPress Bridge – Implementation Plan

Objectives

• Keep WordPress as a lightweight publishing edge while IGNY8 SaaS remains the control plane.
• Automate all sync flows once the site connects (no repeated manual buttons).
• Provide hooks for Sites, Planner, Writer, Linker, and Optimizer modules using the endpoints defined in WORDPRESS-PLUGIN-INTEGRATION.md.

Assumptions

1. Existing IGNY8 REST API endpoints (auth, sites, planner, writer) follow the unified response format.
2. WordPress environment runs PHP ≥ 7.4 with REST API enabled and (optionally) WooCommerce.
3. SaaS app can call back into WordPress via authenticated REST endpoints/webhooks.

Work Breakdown

Phase 1 – Foundations

Step	WordPress Tasks	IGNY8 API Usage
1.1	Harden credential storage (option encryption, refresh tracking)	/auth/login/, /auth/refresh/
1.2	Build diagnostics card (ping, last sync, token age)	/system/ping/ (or /planner/keywords/?page_size=1 as health check)
1.3	Add “control model” + post-type/Woo toggles on settings page	GET /system/sites/{id}/ (to pull recommended defaults)

Phase 2 – Automatic Taxonomy & Keyword Sync

Step	WordPress Tasks	IGNY8 API Usage
2.1	Scheduled fetch of sectors/clusters; populate igny8_sectors, igny8_clusters	/planner/sectors/, /planner/clusters/
2.2	Pull Planner keywords per cluster and store _igny8_keyword_ids meta	/planner/keywords/?cluster_id=
2.3	Render read-only badges in list tables and editor side panels	— (local data)

Phase 3 – Writer Module Integration

Step	WordPress Tasks	IGNY8 API Usage
3.1	Cron or webhook to fetch new/updated tasks and create posts	/writer/tasks/?site_id=&status=
3.2	Hook save_post / transition_post_status to push status & URLs	/writer/tasks/{id}/ (PUT)
3.3	Store briefs/outlines on post meta for editors	/writer/tasks/{id}/brief/
3.4	Queue visualization (counts, failures) in settings page	— (local logs)

Phase 4 – Sites Module & Semantic Mapping

Step	WordPress Tasks	IGNY8 API Usage
4.1	Implement incremental + full site-data collectors honoring toggles	— (WP data)
4.2	Schedule automatic submission of site payloads	/system/sites/{id}/import/ (full)
4.3	Track semantic map metadata locally for reporting	/planner/sites/{id}/semantic-map/

Phase 5 – Planner, Linker, Optimizer Hooks

Step	WordPress Tasks	IGNY8 API Usage
5.1	Display Planner briefs/tasks per post; allow “request refresh” actions	/planner/tasks/{id}/brief/, /planner/tasks/{id}/refresh/
5.2	Export WP link graph during site scans	/linker/link-map/ (POST)
5.3	Accept link recommendations via webhook and queue insertions	SaaS → WP REST endpoint (new)
5.4	Expose optimizer triggers (metrics requests, re-optimization)	/optimizer/jobs/ (POST), /optimizer/jobs/{id}/

Phase 6 – Webhooks & Remote Control

Step	WordPress Tasks	IGNY8 API Usage
6.1	Register REST routes (/wp-json/igny8/v1/event) with shared secret	— (incoming)
6.2	Handle SaaS events: task published, link recommendation, optimizer request	SaaS posts payloads; responses follow unified JSON
6.3	Persist webhook activity logs (custom table or option)	—

Phase 7 – Automation & Monitoring

Step	WordPress Tasks	IGNY8 API Usage
7.1	WP-CLI commands (wp igny8 sync posts, sync site) to mirror SaaS automation	Same endpoints as UI
7.2	Admin notices + status widget for sync health (error counts, tokens)	/system/sites/{id}/status/ (if available)
7.3	Structured logging (maybe wp_igny8_logs table) for audits	—

Deliverables

1. Updated plugin code implementing all phases.
2. Settings UI redesign with automatic operations (no manual sync buttons post-setup).
3. REST endpoints + cron jobs documented for SaaS team.
4. Test plan covering happy path, token expiry, webhook retries.

Timeline (Rough)

Phase	Est. Effort	Notes
1	2–3 days	Mostly admin UI + auth refactor
2	3 days	Taxonomies + keywords + scheduling
3	3–4 days	Writer hooks + automatic task ingestion
4	2 days	Site data automation
5	4 days	Requires close coordination with SaaS teams
6	2 days	REST/webhook security
7	1–2 days	Tooling & monitoring

Effort assumes endpoints already exist; see docs/missing-saas-api-endpoints.md for gaps.
