Frequently asked questions

A quick overview of the essentials. Reach out if you need custom engineering support or training.

Which WordPress versions are supported?

The connector supports WordPress 5.0 and newer and is tested with the latest 6.8 release so you can upgrade with confidence.

Do I need to write custom API endpoints?

No additional code is required. Posts, pages, categories, and tags are exposed with pagination, slug queries, and featured flags ready to consume.

Will it work with my preferred frontend?

Yes. The connector is framework agnostic. Next.js (ISR, SSR, SSG), Remix, Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt, custom React builds, and more can all point to the same REST namespace.

What content types are exposed?

Posts, pages, categories, and tags live under the metronyx-connector namespace with slug based lookups and pagination controls.

Is there built-in CORS control?

Yes. Allow-list origins directly inside WordPress. Localhost URLs are permitted for development, and you can maintain separate staging and production origins.

Does it calculate read time automatically?

Yes. Read time is calculated and returned with each post so you can display accurate estimates on the frontend. Summaries are not bundled; generate them in your frontend or extend the plugin via hooks if needed.

How are images handled?

Preset hero, card, and thumb sizes are generated so you can plug them into CDN workflows or native srcset attributes without extra processing.

How does cache revalidation work?

Store your webhook URL and secret in the plugin settings, then call it from a publish hook or automation to trigger ISR or edge revalidation on your frontend.

Can I extend the API response?

Yes. Use native WordPress filters such as rest_prepare_post or rest_prepare_page to append custom fields, post types, or taxonomies without forking the plugin.

Does it support authenticated requests?

Yes. Credentialed calls are supported thanks to the credential-friendly CORS headers. Use standard WordPress authentication like Application Passwords and keep secrets in environment variables.

How do I wire it up?

Set the REST base URL, allowed origins, and optional revalidation secret in your frontend environment variables, then fetch content from the single metronyx-connector namespace.
