## WordPress questions, answered.

Anything else? Write to [support@postqueen.ai](mailto:support@postqueen.ai) and a person answers.

### Do I need a WordPress plugin?

No. PostQueen connects your self-hosted WordPress site with its URL, your username and an Application Password, using WordPress’s built-in REST API. Your site must be reachable from the internet, and Application Passwords are on by default only for HTTPS sites.

### Can a scheduled post arrive as a draft or for review?

Yes. Set the status to Draft, Pending review or Private, and the post is handed to WordPress at the scheduled time with that status. Choose Publish to have it go live then.

### Does it use WordPress’s own Scheduled status?

No. PostQueen keeps the schedule and sends the post at the time you pick, so it does not show as Scheduled inside WordPress beforehand.

### Can my AI agent write and schedule WordPress posts?

Yes. Through PostQueen’s MCP server or CLI, your AI agent can schedule a post with a title, body, featured image, categories, tags and the status you want.

### Which WordPress user should I connect?

A user who can create posts. If the user lacks that permission, PostQueen shows a clear error instead of publishing.
