How to Publish a Post in WordPress

Get a finished draft live on your WordPress site, with datanephew able to do it for you.

Publishing in WordPress moves a post from a private draft to a live, public page. You can do this yourself in the dashboard, or ask datanephew to publish it for you directly.

Steps

  1. Open the post from the Posts list in your WordPress dashboard, or write it fresh in the editor.
  2. Review the title, content, and any images before publishing.
  3. Check the meta description and permalink in your SEO plugin's panel.
  4. Click "Publish" (or "Update" if it was already live) in the top right of the editor.
  5. Confirm the post appears correctly by visiting its live URL.

Can datanephew actually publish a post for me, not just draft one?

Yes — datanephew has a direct publish connection to WordPress, so you can ask it to take a finished draft live, and it will confirm once the post is public.

Can I have datanephew schedule a post instead of publishing it right away?

Ask it to set a future publish date instead of publishing immediately — it can schedule the post to go live at the time you specify.
