About this tool.
PublishDesk Connector turns WordPress into a newsroom command center. Connect a free PublishDesk workspace and run your whole editorial operation — breaking coverage, multi-site publishing, and post management — without living in wp-admin. It also ships a genuinely useful free breaking-news banner that works with no account at all.
What you can do
- Breaking-news banner and live coverage like the major networks. Go live in PublishDesk and a site-wide breaking banner appears on your site — pulsing LIVE indicator, auto-updating “last updated” time, and a link to the full live story. Optional CNN-style ticker. Works with no JavaScript (server-rendered).
- Publish into the exact category on any of your sites. PublishDesk reads each site’s real category tree (including sub-categories), tags, and menus through this connector, so a post lands in precisely the term you choose — on every site, each with its own taxonomy.
- Manage, move, and update posts without logging into wp-admin. Update content, move between categories, change status, or remove posts remotely — and detect when someone edited a post directly in WordPress, with no silent overwrites.
- One editorial workflow across all your WordPress sites. Plan, draft, review, and publish from a single workspace.
- AI-assisted drafting under full editorial control. Your content is processed to provide features and is never used to train AI models.
Free, no account required
- Local breaking-news banner. Set a headline, link, color, and placement right here in the plugin settings and show a breaking banner on your site — no PublishDesk account needed.
Free vs. the full command center
- Free (local mode): the local breaking-news banner, controlled from this plugin’s settings.
- With a free PublishDesk workspace: live multi-editor breaking coverage with real-time updates, publish-from-anywhere into exact categories, remote post management, drift detection, the full taxonomy/menu sync, the Site Manager, and the AI editorial workflow.
PublishDesk is an external service. Connecting is optional; the free local features above work without it. See the privacy policy at https://publishdesk.io/legal/privacy and terms at https://publishdesk.io/legal/terms.
