It establishes an authenticated connection and exposes allowlisted REST API endpoints used by RankRocket. WordPress administrators can also use the built-in RankRocket page manager without connecting an account or running an audit. The local manager can preview and apply supported page, post, product, custom-post-type, and taxonomy SEO changes. Post changes create a verified native WordPress revision first and can be restored from the same screen. The connector can: * Report connection, WordPress, and plugin status * Provide supported site and page data for administrator-requested RankRocket workflows * Receive authenticated requests for approved WordPress operations * Coordinate full-site restore points with UpdraftPlus before approved updates * Locally manage H1 and H2 headings, SEO titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, robots directives, canonical URLs, and existing FAQ schema * Preview local changes and create, inspect, and restore native WordPress page revisions SEO analysis and solution generation happen in the RankRocket service, not in this plugin. The connector does not independently crawl the site, generate recommendations or content, or run an AI model. Before a supported update, RankRocket verifies the audit’s full-site backup in private RankRocket storage. WordPress backup archives are streamed without placing RankRocket cloud credentials on the site. RankRocket does not apply a change until an administrator approves it and the matching backup is verified. #### External service This plugin connects to RankRocket, a software-as-a-service SEO platform. A RankRocket account is required to use the connected automation features. When an administrator connects a site or requests an SEO operation, RankRocket may receive the site URL, WordPress REST URL, WordPress and plugin versions, selected public page URLs, page content and headings, SEO metadata, image URLs and alternative text, structured data, connection status, and operation results. This data is sent only as part of an administrator-initiated connection, audit, preview, apply, restore, or related RankRocket workflow. WordPress passwords, cookies, payment information, and unrelated private content are not intentionally sent. RankRocket sends authenticated, structured requests back to this plugin to read supported SEO data or apply approved changes. The plugin does not download or execute remote PHP, JavaScript, SQL, or other executable instructions from RankRocket. Service website: https://www.rankrocket.info/ Privacy Policy: https://www.rankrocket.info/privacy-policy/ Terms of Use: https://www.rankrocket.info/terms-of-service/ ## Installation 1. Install and activate RankRocket Connector. 2. Open RankRocket in the WordPress admin menu to use the local page manager. 3. To use connected audits and automation, generate an API key or complete the connection flow from your RankRocket account. 4. Use the connected RankRocket service to review and approve supported WordPress operations. ## FAQ ### Is a RankRocket account required? An account is required for connected RankRocket audits and automation. The local WordPress administration tools remain available to authorized administrators. ### Does RankRocket make changes automatically? No. Changes require an authorized administrator action or an authenticated request resulting from an approved RankRocket workflow. ### Does the plugin generate SEO solutions? No. Analysis and solution generation happen in the RankRocket service. This plugin provides the authenticated connection to WordPress and implements allowlisted WordPress operations. ### How is the REST API protected? Protected routes require a configured RankRocket API key sent in the `X-RankRocket- Key` header, an authorized WordPress session, or an authenticated WordPress Application Password, depending on the route. Site-wide changes require administrator capability; Editor-level Application Passwords can access only the read-only page-discovery route. Administrative actions also use WordPress capability and nonce checks. ### Can I undo a RankRocket change? Yes. RankRocket can restore a verified full-site backup created for an audit. A restore replaces later database and file changes, so RankRocket displays a clear warning and creates a recovery backup first. ### Does the plugin execute code received from RankRocket? No. It accepts only structured values for allowlisted WordPress operations implemented in the plugin. ### What happens if another SEO plugin is active? RankRocket uses its own metadata and integrates with supported SEO providers where appropriate. Review previews and final page output after each change, especially when multiple SEO tools manage the same field. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “RankRocket Connector” is open source software.
