FAQ

Questions about Create Post.

What does the Create Post action do in WordPress?

Creates a new blog post on your WordPress site with title, content, status (draft/publish), categories, tags, and featured image. Use it to pipe AI-drafted articles or external CMS content into WordPress.

What inputs does Create Post require?

Required: Title, Content. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if WordPress returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Create Post support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Post inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles WordPress's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
