Publish to WordPress

Publish the active Obsidian note as a WordPress draft — directly via the WordPress REST API, or through a custom webhook (e.g. n8n).

Write in Obsidian, click once, get a draft in WordPress — no copy-paste.

Features

  • Ribbon icon + commands to publish the active note as a draft.
  • WordPress REST backend (default): uses Application Passwords — nothing to install on the WordPress side.
  • Optional custom-webhook backend for advanced pipelines (queue, multi-target, n8n…).
  • Converts the note body to HTML and attaches a featured image (frontmatter image: or the first embedded image).

Getting started (WordPress backend)

1. Create an Application Password in WordPress

In WordPress admin: Users → Profile → Application Passwords → type a name (e.g. Obsidian) → Add new application password → copy the generated password.

Requires HTTPS — Application Passwords are rejected over plain HTTP.

2. Configure the plugin

Settings → Publish to WordPress:

  • Backend: WordPress (direct REST)
  • Site URL: https://your-site.com
  • Username: your WordPress login (not your email)
  • Application password: the one you just generated (with or without spaces)

3. Write a note and publish

Add a marker line to your note (default **Post final :**); everything after it becomes the post body:

**Post final :**

First paragraph.

Second paragraph.

Then click the ribbon icon → Draft to WordPress (or run the command Publish current note as draft). A draft appears in your WordPress admin.

  • Title = frontmatter wp_title, otherwise the note's file name.
  • Featured image = frontmatter image:, otherwise the first embedded image in the note.

Troubleshooting

Request failed, status 401

Authentication was rejected. Two common causes:

  1. Wrong username / application password. The username is your WordPress login, not your email.

  2. Your host strips the Authorization header. Common on shared hosting with Apache + PHP-FastCGI (e.g. some OVH plans). Application Passwords travel in that header, so if it's stripped, auth always fails. Add this to your site's root .htaccess, above the # BEGIN WordPress line:

    SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

    Then retry.

Custom webhook backend (advanced)

Switch the backend to Custom webhook and set your endpoint URL(s). The plugin POSTs a JSON payload to your automation (e.g. an n8n workflow):

  • Draft action → { title, content, status: "draft", image_b64?, image_name?, image_mime? }
  • Queue action → { targets, wp_title, wp_content, image_b64?, … } where targets comes from the frontmatter cibles.

How the note is read

  • The body is taken after the marker (configurable in settings).
  • Lines starting with ### Bloc are ignored; blank-line-separated blocks become <p>…</p>; *(…)* becomes <em>…</em>.
