WordPress Documentation
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.
