Automate WordPress with Codex

Point Codex at the postqueen CLI and it creates, schedules and verifies WordPress articles as one repeatable task you can rerun any time.

Quick start

Set up the CLI inside the workspace Codex uses, then describe the WordPress outcome you want in the task prompt.

Codex session
# Inside a Codex session
npm install -g postqueen
export POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key
 
# Then prompt:
# "Create this week's WordPress articles
# from notes.md and schedule them
# with postqueen"

What Codex can run on WordPress

WordPress publishing as software

Codex runs postqueen commands, reads the JSON results and verifies each step, so your WordPress pipeline behaves like any other task it automates in CI or cron.

Windows that fit WordPress

Tell Codex when your sites are busiest and it schedules articles into that window on WordPress, day after day, without reminders.

Long-form arrives intact

Codex hands postqueen the full draft, formatting included, and it lands on your WordPress sites as complete articles, ready for readers.

Drafts until you are ready

Ask Codex for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your readers on WordPress until you do.

Three steps to a full queue

Step 1

Discover WordPress

Codex calls postqueen to list your connected sites and sees what WordPress supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.

Step 2

Draft with Codex

Give it the brief. The agent writes WordPress-shaped articles and proposes publish times that match when your readers are around.

Step 3

Check and publish

Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Codex can pull the results after.

What WordPress allows

Codex reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

Frequently asked questions

How does Codex connect WordPress to postqueen?

Install the postqueen CLI where Codex runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list WordPress articles reliably.

Can Codex schedule WordPress articles at exact times?

Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the articles it creates, keeping your sites active on a steady rhythm.

Will Codex publish to WordPress on its own?

Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the articles wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.

Can one brief cover WordPress and other channels too?

Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Codex can turn the same brief into WordPress articles plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.

Does Codex access cost extra on postqueen?

No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.

Can the AI assistant write WordPress posts?

Yes. It handles long-form drafting well: outlines, full first drafts, rewrites and excerpts, all in your tone. Every draft stays editable, and nothing publishes until you schedule it.

What analytics do I get for WordPress posts?

WordPress core does not ship analytics, so most sites rely on their web analytics tool or a stats plugin, and those keep working exactly as before. postqueen tracks the publishing side: what went out, to which site, and what is queued next across all your channels.
