WordPress Documentation
This documentation page is for a deeper level of understanding of the WordPress plugin parameters and usage. Please refer to our builder page to have the WordPress shortcode automatically generated based on your needs.
B2i can post press releases directly into your WordPress website as a blog post. The process is very simple and straightforward:
- Set a post key in the B2i settings area in WP. This will be provided by B2i.
- Verify your category/tag for the press releases to post into. This is typically ‘Press Releases’
- B2i will conduct a verify post to ensure connectivity. After a successful post test, we’ll send all the historical press releases through to WordPress.
Use the builder tab to easily generate your Shortcode.
