When an article is approved (or auto-published), SynaPost fills in the details a normal post needs – not just the body text.
What gets set automatically
- Category – matched to one of your site’s existing categories, chosen when the topic was created.
- Tags – generated to match the article’s content.
- Featured image – either a real AI-generated thumbnail or a free placeholder graphic, depending on your image settings.
Because everything lands in real WordPress categories and tags, published content works with any theme and any other plugin the same way a manually-written post would – including your SEO plugin, which reads the same fields it always has.
Controlling how it publishes
Under Settings → Publishing, the Publish Status option decides what happens the moment an article clears approval:
- Publish immediately – goes live right away.
- Schedule for the topic’s publish date – goes live automatically on the date set on the topic.
- Mark pending review (manual publish) – stays as a draft until you publish it yourself from the normal Posts screen.
You can also set a Default Author here, which is worth doing since automated, unattended runs have no logged-in user to credit otherwise.
