What happens when you publish

GRRO converts your content to Markdown with YAML frontmatter and commits it to your repository. If your site deploys from that repo, the new content goes live automatically.

Publishing from the editor

Once a CMS connection is set up:

  1. Open any draft in the content editor

  2. Click Publish

  3. Select your connected CMS

  4. Confirm

Security

All CMS credentials are encrypted before storage. They're never displayed in the UI after saving.

Troubleshooting

Test Connection failed. Double-check your credentials. For WordPress, make sure you're using an Application Password, not your login password. For Shopify, make sure the app has the write_content scope.

Content didn't appear on my site. Check whether the post was created as a draft on your CMS. Some configurations publish as draft by default. Check your CMS's posts or articles section.
