Frequently Asked Questions

Does Ascend work with WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress?
Yes. Ascend integrates with both WordPress.com (Business plan and above) and self-hosted WordPress.org sites via the REST API. You just need admin-level API access.
Will publishing from Ascend break my WordPress theme formatting?
No. Ascend publishes clean HTML that respects your theme's styling. Headings, paragraphs, lists, and images render natively within your theme's design.
Can I review content before it goes live on WordPress?
Absolutely. You can send articles as drafts so your team can review, edit, and approve within WordPress before publishing. You control the workflow.
Does the WordPress integration cost extra?
No. WordPress publishing is included in all Ascend plans, including the 30-day free trial. No add-ons, no per-publish fees.
