1 ratingContentGecko Connector exposes a secure REST API that the ContentGecko platform can use to synchronise posts, pages, product data, and translations with WordPress and WooCommerce. Access is protected by a shared API key, optional IP allow-listing, and tight capability checks inside wp-admin. The plugin stores minimal data, leans on WordPress core APIs, and keeps logging opt-in so your site remains lightweight.
Key features:
- Publish or update posts through
/wp-json/contentgecko/v1/postsand pages through/wp-json/contentgecko/v1/pageswhile sanitising content and metadata through WordPress core helpers. - Map multilingual content to WPML or Polylang, automatically linking translations and respecting the site’s default language.
- Provide product, category, and catalog feeds when WooCommerce is active (gracefully failing when it is not).
- Sideload remote featured images using WordPress core upload handlers (mime restricted) and reuse existing attachments when possible.
- Optional debug log that persists the last 50 REST calls and mirrors high-level telemetry inside the wp-admin settings screen.
The admin settings page lives under Settings → ContentGecko Connector where administrators can generate API keys, toggle logging, view recent requests, and confirm the /health endpoint matches the WordPress environment.
Short Description
ContentGecko Connector exposes a secure REST API that the allows ContentGecko to automatically write and publish content for your webstore.
Every request must include the X-ContentGecko-Key header. The stored key is hashed using hash_hmac() with AUTH_SALT, and an allow list filter (contentgecko_allowed_ips) lets you restrict inbound requests by IP if desired.
No. The plugin only processes requests that hit your site’s REST API and never sends telemetry back to ContentGecko automatically. Logging is disabled by default and, when enabled, is limited to recent request metadata stored in a WordPress transient.
The plugin ships with Parsedown (MIT license) to convert Markdown payloads to HTML when needed. Its licence is included in licenses/parsedown.txt.
