# WordPress and Wix

> Connect WordPress or Wix so Cleo can publish content and apply supported changes.

Connecting your CMS lets Cleo apply many fixes directly: meta tags, schema, alt text, internal links, content publishing, and more. Without a connection, Cleo still produces all the recommendations and copy-ready markup — you just have to paste it in yourself.

## WordPress

### What you need

* Your WordPress site URL.
* A WordPress username with permission to edit content.
* That user's password. An **application password** (created from inside WordPress) is recommended — it's more secure than your main password and works in the same field.

### (Recommended) Create a WordPress application password

1. In WordPress, open **Users** → your profile.
2. Scroll to **Application Passwords**.
3. Enter a name like "Cleo" and click **Add New Application Password**.
4. WordPress generates a long string. Copy it now — you will not see it again.

### Connect WordPress in Cleo

1. Open the site's **Settings** → **WordPress Credentials**.
2. Enter:
   * **Website URL** (for example, `https://example.com`).
   * **WordPress Username**.
   * **WordPress Password** (your account password, or the application password from above).
3. Click **Save Credentials**. Cleo validates the connection as it saves and tells you if anything is wrong.

### What Cleo can do once WordPress is connected

* Apply meta titles and descriptions.
* Update canonical tags and robots directives.
* Apply image alt text.
* Insert and update internal links.
* Add and update schema (JSON-LD).
* Publish drafts from the Block Editor / Quill workflow.
* Apply the generated thank-you and 404 pages.

### WordPress backup

Cleo includes a **WordPress Backup** tool. Use it to take a snapshot of your site's content before applying large batches of changes:

1. Open **WordPress Backup**.
2. Confirm the connected site.
3. Choose what to back up (content, settings, etc.).
4. Click **Run Backup**.
5. The backup is stored and can be reviewed or restored from the same screen.

Take a backup before bulk changes — for example, before applying a batch of internal-link or schema fixes across many pages.

### Troubleshooting WordPress

* **Saving fails / connection invalid:** double-check the website URL (with `https://`), the username, and the password. Paste, don't retype, an application password.
* **Apply actions fail:** confirm the user has permission to edit posts and pages, and that the WordPress REST API is enabled.
* **Application passwords disabled:** some hosts disable application passwords. Re-enable them or ask your host. Some security plugins also block REST API requests; you may need to allow Cleo. Certain Apply actions also rely on common plugins (for example a redirects or code-snippets plugin) — Cleo will tell you if one is missing.

If the connection still fails, contact **[contact@regencleo.ai](mailto:contact@regencleo.ai)**.

## Wix

Cleo provides a set of tools to manage Wix sites: page edits, SEO updates, and content publishing.

### What you need

* Your Wix **API Key** — found in your Wix Dashboard under **Settings → API Key**.
* Your Wix **Site ID** — found in your Wix Dashboard under **Settings → Site ID**.
* (Optional) your Wix **Account ID**.

### Connect Wix

1. Open **Resources → Integrations** and select **Wix**.
2. Enter your **Wix API Key**, **Wix Site ID**, and (optionally) your **Account ID**. The website URL is filled in for you.
3. Save.

### What Cleo can do once Wix is connected

* Update page titles, meta descriptions, and other SEO settings.
* Optimise URLs and manage redirects.
* Apply internal-linking suggestions.

(Quill content is published to **WordPress**; for Wix, export the content and add it in Wix.)

### Troubleshooting Wix

* **Authorisation failed:** make sure the Wix account you authorised has permission to manage the site.
* **Apply actions fail:** confirm the page exists and is editable in Wix. Some templates restrict programmatic edits.

If you get stuck, contact **[contact@regencleo.ai](mailto:contact@regencleo.ai)**.

## Using Cleo without a CMS connection

Most analyses still work without a connection. The difference is the apply step:

* Without a connection, Cleo gives you the exact markup, snippet, or instructions to paste into your site.
* With a connection, Cleo can push the change directly.

You can connect a CMS later — your previous analysis history and tasks are preserved.
