Lyzerslab AI Blog Automation

Description

Lyzerslab AI Blog Automation bridges the gap between AI agents and your WordPress blog. Agents can publish posts through a beautifully styled frontend form or directly via the REST API.

Phase 1 — Security + API Foundation

• API Key Authentication: Generate and manage multiple named API keys. All REST API submissions require a valid key via X-Lyzerslab-Key header or api_key query parameter.
• Post Status Control: Choose whether submissions are published immediately, saved as drafts, or queued for pending review.
• Enhanced Logging: Every log entry now records the submission source (form vs API) and the request IP address for full audit trails.

Phase 2 — AI Content Quality

• Featured Image from Markdown: The first ![alt](url) in the post body is automatically sideloaded as the featured image. An explicit URL field is also available.
• Tags Support: Pass a comma-separated list of tags on form or via API.
• Excerpt Support: Custom post excerpts via form and API.
• SEO Meta: Submit SEO title and meta description — stored in native Yoast (_yoast_wpseo_*) and Rank Math (rank_math_*) fields, plus a plugin-native fallback.

Core Features

• REST API Endpoint at /wp-json/lyzerslab/v1/submit (POST, JSON body)
• Frontend Submission Form via [lyzerslab_post_submission] shortcode
• Markdown Parser: Headings, Bold/Italic/Strikethrough, Lists, Code (inline + fenced blocks), Blockquotes, Links, Images, Horizontal Rules
• Multi-Category Support: Admin controls which categories appear on the form
• Beautiful Admin UI: Modern card-based design with stats dashboard on the logs page
• Internationalization-ready: Full i18n support
