WordPress
Send your posts to WordPress, self-hosted or WordPress.com
Your article goes live on your LookMyBio page first. Then the same piece is posted to your WordPress site, live or as a draft, with its featured image, tags and excerpt already filled in.
WordPress sits next to the other blogs you can link to your page, on Starter and above.
- Connect with an application password
- Sent as HTML
- Canonical URL when the site has one
- Up to 10 tags
- Later edits sent on request

Your WordPress readers are waiting on a second copy
Running a WordPress site next to a blog elsewhere turns each article into two jobs: rebuilding it in the block editor, uploading the header image again, re-entering tags that already exist and telling search engines which address is the real one.
Your digital presence doesn't have to be this fragmented
LookMyBio brings the whole flow into one platform, so you produce in a more organized way and stay in control of what gets published.
How it works
Choose how you connect
On a site you host, create an application password under Users, Profile in WordPress admin. On WordPress.com there is nothing to create: you sign in instead.
Link the site to your blog
On LookMyBio, open your blog's cross-post settings and enter the site address, username and application password, or choose Connect with WordPress.com and approve the site.
Tick WordPress when you publish
Select it in the Cross-post window. The WordPress post is created as soon as yours goes live, or when its scheduled time comes round.
Two ways in: an application password or a WordPress.com sign-in
Self-hosted sites use the application passwords built into WordPress, so your login password is never handed over and each one can be revoked from your profile. WordPress.com sites, and self-hosted ones linked through Jetpack, connect by signing in and approving the site on WordPress.com.
- The WordPress user needs permission to publish posts
- Publish right away or hold the post as a WordPress draft
Featured image, tags and players set up for you
Your article arrives as HTML. A video or a post on X is placed as its bare link on a line of its own, which WordPress turns into a player. The cover goes into the media library as the featured image, and up to 10 tags are attached.
- Your excerpt fills the WordPress excerpt field
- On a self-hosted site, tags it lacks are created on the fly
Credit for the original, with or without an SEO plugin
When a self-hosted site runs Yoast or Rank Math and lets the API write its canonical field, that field receives your post's address. Without that field, and on WordPress.com, the article closes with a line linking back to where it first appeared.
- The site is checked for that field once, when you connect it
Edit once, then update the WordPress post
Revise the original and the Cross-post window marks the WordPress copy as out of step with it. Push the update and the title, text, excerpt and tags are rewritten on the existing post rather than published a second time.
- Self-hosted: comments come back to your comments inbox, where you can reply, hold one back or move it to the trash
- WordPress.com: comments are not brought in yet, so answer them on the site

A second language for your WordPress audience
Turn a finished article into a linked draft in another language, review the wording, and send that version to WordPress as a post of its own.
