Description
Mountain Post is an AI-powered SEO automation platform. It discovers what your target audience is searching for, writes high-quality SEO articles, and publishes them on your website — automatically.
This plugin connects your WordPress website to your Mountain Post account. Once connected, Mountain Post can:
- Publish new articles directly to your WordPress blog
- Update existing articles
- Sync categories, tags, and featured images
- Write SEO titles and meta descriptions (compatible with Yoast SEO)
Mountain Post requires a subscription. Visit mountainpost.io to sign up.
How it works
- Install this plugin on your WordPress website.
- In Mountain Post, go to your website’s Connection tab and generate a connection key.
- In WordPress, go to Settings Mountain Post, paste the key, and click Connect.
That’s it — Mountain Post will now be able to publish to your website.
Requirements
- WordPress 5.6 or later
- HTTPS enabled on your website
- A Mountain Post account (mountainpost.io)
External services
This plugin connects to mountainpost.io, a third-party service operated by BrendR. Specifically:
- When you connect the plugin, it sends your site URL, WordPress username, and a generated API token to mountainpost.io to register the connection. The token only allows creating and updating posts, tags, and reading categories — it does not grant admin access to your site.
- During content publication, mountainpost.io instructs the plugin to download featured images from external image URLs (provided by the Mountain Post service) and attach them to posts.
- If multilingual content is enabled, the plugin sets a
mp_languagecookie on site visitors to remember their language preference.
By using this plugin, you agree to the Mountain Post Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Changelog
1.2.0
- Removed Application Password requirement. The plugin now connects using only a generated API token, eliminating the need for remote admin credentials. Existing installs with a stored Application Password will have it cleaned up automatically on reconnect.
- Removed Authorization header restoration block (LiteSpeed workaround) — no longer needed since connection no longer uses Basic Auth.
- Posts are now created with explicit post_author instead of using wp_set_current_user.
1.1.0
- Added custom REST API endpoints authenticated via X-Mountain-Post-Token header for compatibility with LiteSpeed and other servers that strip the Authorization header.
- Added featured image sideloading from Mountain Post-provided image URLs.
- Added multilingual support: language switcher appended to posts, cookie-based language persistence, and query-parameter language selection (?lang=nl).
- Added IndexNow integration for automatic URL submission to Bing after publication.
1.0.0
- Initial release.
