Live Import: Turn Any URL into a WordPress Draft with AI
Not every story lives in a feed. Live Import is for one-off URLs: detect the content path, rewrite with your keys, and land a draft you can edit.
Feeds are great for ongoing coverage. Live Import is for the one link in Slack that needs a draft in five minutes.
What happens when you paste a URL
- Try WordPress REST if the site exposes it
- Try RSS/Atom if you pasted a feed (latest item)
- Fall back to HTML extraction
- Rewrite with your AI settings
- Queue a draft for review
When it fails
Heavy JavaScript apps, hard paywalls, and aggressive bot blocks can return empty shells. Use Cloudflare tools when appropriate, then check the live queue and Activity log for the exact step that failed.
If you want this workflow as a product instead of a pile of scripts, WriteWP’s feature set covers import, rewrite, free images, and schedules. See pricing or the docs for setup.
