Connect your WordPress site to UpAmp for seamless blog publishing without browser automation.

== Description ==

UpAmp Connector allows you to publish blog posts directly from UpAmp to your WordPress site using a secure REST API. No more browser automation or complex setup required.

**Features:**

* Secure API key authentication
* Publish posts with title, content, excerpt
* Update existing posts after editing in UpAmp
* Delete posts from WordPress (moves to trash)
* Automatic category and tag handling (creates new ones if they don't exist)
* Featured image support (downloads from URL)
* SEO meta description support (Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO)
* Draft or publish status options

**Why use UpAmp Connector?**

Traditional WordPress integrations often rely on browser automation or application passwords, which can be blocked by security plugins, Cloudflare, or hosting providers. UpAmp Connector provides a direct, secure API that works reliably from any location.

**Third-Party Service**

This plugin connects to UpAmp ([https://upamp.com](https://upamp.com)), an external service for AI-powered content creation and marketing automation.

When you publish content through UpAmp:

* Blog post content (title, body, excerpt, categories, tags) is sent from UpAmp to your WordPress site
* Your site URL and API credentials are stored in your UpAmp account
* Featured images may be downloaded from URLs provided by UpAmp

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `upamp-connector` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Go to Settings > UpAmp Connector
4. Click "Generate API Credentials"
5. Copy the API Endpoint, Key, and Secret to UpAmp

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is this secure? =

Yes. The plugin uses hashed API secrets (the same method WordPress uses for passwords) and all communication should be over HTTPS.

= Can I regenerate my API credentials? =

Yes. Go to Settings > UpAmp Connector and click "Regenerate Credentials". Note that this will invalidate your old credentials.

= Does this work with Cloudflare? =

Yes! Unlike browser automation, API requests are not blocked by Cloudflare or similar security services.
