Connect Wix

01Before you start

• Your Wix site needs the Wix Blog app installed.
• You need permission to create API keys for your Wix account.

02Connect step by step

1. 1

   Create an API key

   In Wix, open the API Keys Manager of your account and generate a new key. Give it the permissions Manage Blog and Manage Ricos Documents — the second one lets StrideRank convert the article into Wix’s rich content format. Copy the key.

2. 2

   Find your site ID

   Open the dashboard of your site. The site ID is the long code in the browser address after /dashboard/, in the form xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.

3. 3

   Open the publishing settings

   In StrideRank, open Autopilot → Settings and go to Publishing. You can also connect during setup (step 3). Only owners and admins of the account can change the connection. Choose Wix.

4. 4

   Enter the details

   Enter the Site ID and paste the API key. Author member ID is optional: some Wix blogs require a site member as the author. If publishing fails without it, enter the member ID of the author (same code format as the site ID).

5. 5

   Save and test

   Click Save connection, then Test connection. The test reaches your site with the saved details and reports the first problem it finds. A connection that has been saved but not tested shows “saved — not tested yet”.

03Good to know

• StrideRank creates a draft post, publishes it right away and reads back the public address.
• The SEO title and meta description are set on the post.
• Wix uses the first image inside the article as the cover image. StrideRank does not upload a separate cover image to your Wix media library.
• Wix accepts at most 30,000 characters of article HTML per post. Longer articles are not shortened; publishing stops with a clear message instead.
