Airstory

Сүрөттөө

Send your blog posts from Airstory to WordPress.

Publish Better Content

Your blog visitors want great content from you, and search engines love content visitors love.

But the WordPress front-end editor doesn’t make it easy or fast to research, outline, write and edit great content. And the “locking” functions in WordPress make collaboration nearly impossible: no commenting, no co-editing.

That’s why pro bloggers and content teams write in Airstory first then export each post to WordPress in a click, using this plugin.

Airstory + WordPress = Great Posts

Airstory is challenging the status quo for writing software – and we’re starting with cutting your blog-writing time in half. Use all of Airstory’s time-saving features to draft your post. Then send it to your WordPress blog.

This plugin:

  • Imports text and images from your Airstory project
  • Keeps header tags, bolding, lists and other formatting
  • Uses your site’s CSS for styling
  • Imports as a draft
  • Lets you import draft after draft to one unpublished URL
  • Supports multi-site if you have more than one WordPress blog

Airstory is a paid solution, which includes support and integrations, like this plugin.

How It Works

  1. Install and activate the plugin
  2. Inside Airstory, open a project
  3. Choose the tab you’d like to send to WordPress as a post
  4. Under Actions, select the blog to export to
  5. In the browser tab that opens, you’ll see your draft in WordPress

Requirements

  • This plugin requires an active Airstory subscription.
  • PHP version 5.3 or higher, with the DOM and OpenSSL extensions active. Additionally, the Mcrypt PHP extension is required for PHP versions below 7.0.
  • The WordPress site must have a valid SSL certificate in order for Airstory to publish content.

Usage

Once Airstory is connected with WordPress, your site name will appear as an export destination within Airstory.

Exporting to WordPress will create a new draft post, enabling you to set post thumbnails, publish dates, categories, and anything else your post might need before publishing.

Actions and filters

For developers, the Airstory WordPress plugin contains a number of actions and filters that can be used to modify its default behavior. For a full list of available filters, please see the wiki in the plugin’s GitHub repository.

  • The Airstory Configuration section of a user’s profile, as seen when the plugin is first activated.

  • The Airstory Configuration section of a user’s profile after providing their User Token to connect to Airstory.
  • The user’s WordPress site listed as an export target within Airstory.

Орнотуу

After installing and activating the Airstory WordPress plugin, WordPress authors are able to connect their Airstory accounts through the user profiles:

  1. In Airstory, navigate to the “My Account” panel by clicking the avatar in the bottom-left corner of the screen and copy the “User token” to your clipboard.
  2. Within WordPress, navigate to “Users › Your Profile” and scroll to “Airstory Configuration”. In the “User Token” field, paste your Airstory user token, then click the “Update Profile” button at the bottom of the profile page to save your changes.

If your token has been verified successfully, the “Airstory Configuration” section of your profile will show details about your Airstory account. You’re all set to start publishing!

FAQ.KG

I have multiple blogs to publish to. Will this work?

Yes, you’ll install this plugin under My Sites › Network Admin. Each member of your team can publish to any of the blogs you manage.

Where do I find my user token in Airstory?

In Airstory, go under Settings › My Account to find your user token.

Where do I paste my user token in WordPress?

In WordPress, go under Users › Your Profile to paste your Airstory user token.

Our team is using Airstory. Can we each send our own drafts to the same WordPress blog?

Yes! This plugin is installed at the Network Admin level. Each member of your team should update their WordPress profiles with their unique Airstory user tokens. This way, you can each send your own posts to your team blog, with authorship.

Why is my post titled “document” in WordPress?

This plugin names your post in WordPress using the label on the Airstory project tab you exported. The first tab in Airstory is named “document,” which is why your WordPress post is titled “document.” You can change that in Airstory or in WordPress.

Can I send content from any Airstory tab to WordPress?

Yes! Go to the Airstory tab with the content you want to publish, and export to WordPress while you’re on that tab. Tabs cannot be combined into a single WordPress export.

Can I send content from any Airstory project to WordPress?

Yes! As long as it’s a project in your account.

Will my blog’s styling be preserved?

Yes! When you send content from Airstory to WordPress, it will take the styling of your blog.

Can I edit my post in WordPress before it gets published?

Yes! The content you send from Airstory is exported as a draft in WordPress.

The plugin won’t activate, instead telling me “the Airstory plugin is missing one or more of its dependencies, so it’s automatically been deactivated”. How do I resolve this?

This is a safety feature built into the plugin to avoid any unexpected behavior due to missing dependencies. The Airstory plugin relies on two common PHP extensions: “dom” (for DOM manipulation, used to clean up incoming content from Airstory) and “openssl” (used to securely encrypt your Airstory user token before storing it).

All modern hosts (Liquid Web, WP Engine, SiteGround, etc.) should support these extensions out of the box, but if you’re running your own server you’ll want to ensure these extensions are both installed and activated.
