WordPress in the chat
How to work with posts, pages, comments and media through WooMate AI.
WooMate AI reads and changes WordPress content: posts, pages, blog categories and tags, comments and media. You save changes after approving them.
What you need
A WordPress application password. You don't need it for product image ALT text, because the chat saves that through WooCommerce (Images and ALT text).
- In your WordPress dashboard, go to Users → Profile.
- Scroll down to Application Passwords.
- Enter a name, e.g. "WooMate", and click Add New Application Password.
- Copy the password.
- In the store settings, under Connections → Publishing to WordPress, enter the WordPress username and Application password.
- Click Save, then Check connection.
Use an account with the Editor or Administrator role.
What you can ask for
- A new post. It's created as a draft; you ask for publishing separately.
- Changes to a post or page, including Yoast or Rank Math SEO metadata.
- A new or updated blog category or tag.
- Moderating a comment and replying to it.
- Changes to file details and the featured image.
- Searching across all content.
Changes wait for your approval on the card.
Limitations
- In the content of a post or page, the chat can use HTML, text colors and styles, and JSON-LD structured data. It doesn't change the theme, its colors, CSS or page layouts (What the chat won't do).
- Comment replies and newly created items can't be undone with the Undo button.
- To the AI, comment text is data, not instructions.
