Description
Synchronize backend data with WordPress post collections over HTTP APIs, enabling remote and automated web content management.
With Posts Bridge you can move your workspace from the WordPress admin to collaboration tools like Google Spreadsheets, Airtable or Grist, or get your Odoo and Dolibarr data automatically synchronized with your website. Don't bother your team with context switching and manual web content synchronizations. Work where your data is, and use Posts Bridge to seamlessly transform it to web content without effort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect to my custom API?
Absolutely! Posts Bridge supports any HTTP API, whether it’s a cloud service or a self-hosted solution (like a Dockerized API on your VPS). If your API uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, etc.), Posts Bridge can connect to it.
Maybe a little understanding about how HTTP and HTTP-like APIs works will be required to set up your custom integrations.
Do I need to know how to code?
Nope! Posts Bridge is designed to set up complex HTTP configurations and pipelines of data transformation without the need to write code.
In addition, you can extend Posts Bridge with code using its hooks and PHP APIs.
How can I get support?
You can get support from Còdec using the Posts Bridge support forum for free. We aim to respond to all inquiries within 24-48 hours.
Is there a free trial?
Posts Bridge, including all its add-ons, is free to use.
What if my API requires authentication?
Posts Bridge supports API keys, Basic Auth, Bearer Tokens, OAuth, RPC credentials, Digest Auth and custom headers.

Features
Bridges
Think of a bridge as a mapping that links your backend data with a post type collection from your WordPress web page. Each item on your backend database can be converted to a post, and each field on your backend tables can be mapped to a post field, post meta or taxonomy terms.
Backends
Think of it as a "connection profile" for your API. Save your API URL, headers, and credentials once, then reuse them across all your bridges. No need to re-enter details every time!
Credentials
Authenticate your HTTP requests using API keys, Basic Auth, Bearer Tokens, OAuth, RPC credentials and Digest Auth.
Field mappers
Rename and mutate your backend API responses to match the WordPress post model (e.g., post_title, post_content, post_name, etc.) and taxonomies.
Remote fields
Dynamically load backend data on render time and substitute replacement marks in the post HTML with remote data.
Custom types
Posts Bridge allows you to register custom post types from the plugin settings with visual and intuitive way, register post meta fields and bind post type to taxonomies.
REST API endpoints
Forms Bridge registers custom REST API endpoints for each bridge to easily connect to WordPress from your backend over HTTP requests.
JWT authentication
Authenticate your HTTP requests to the WordPress REST API with JWT tokens.
Debugging console
Monitor requests, responses, and errors in real time.
How It Works
Posts Bridge treats post collections as indexes that represents your backend data and allows you to use Gutenberg, WordPress' powerful page builder, as the frontend editor of your backend. Either by manually triggering bulk synchronizations, by scheduling automatic background jobs, or dynamically loading data on renders, Posts Bridge fully integrates your backend data into the WordPress CMS system.
