Posts Bridge – Remote CMS

Description

Synchronize backend data with WordPress post collections over HTTP APIs, enabling remote and automated web content management.

With Posts Bridge you can move your workspace from the WordPress admin to collaboration tools like Google Spreadsheets, Airtable or Grist, or get your Odoo and Dolibarr data automatically synchronized with your website. Don’t bother your team with context switching and manual web content synchronizations. Work where your data is, and use Posts Bridge to seamlessly transform it to web content without effort.

How it works

Posts Bridge treats post collections as indexes that represents your backend data and allows you to use Gutenberg, WordPress’ powerful page builder, as the frontend editor of your backend. Either by manually triggering bulk synchronizations, by scheduling automatic background jobs, or dynamically loading data on renders, Posts Bridge fully integrates your backend data into the WordPress CMS system.

Add-ons

Posts Bridge comes with free add-ons. Each add-on add to the plugin new bridges to work with specific APIs.

Features

Bridges
Bridges act as dynamic mappings between your backend data and WordPress post type collections. Seamlessly convert each database item into a WordPress post, and map backend fields directly to post fields, metadata, or taxonomy terms—effortlessly synchronizing your data.

Backends
Create a reusable “connection profile” for your API. Store your API URL, headers, and credentials once, and apply them across all your bridges. No repetitive setup required—just connect and go.

Credentials
Secure your HTTP requests with flexible authentication options: API keys, Basic Auth, Bearer Tokens, OAuth, RPC credentials, or Digest Auth. Choose the method that fits your needs.

Field mappers
Transform your backend API responses to align with WordPress’s post structure (e.g., post_title, post_content, post_name).

With mappers you can map backend data to post fields, custom fields and into taxonomy terms (such as categories and tags).

Remote fields
Load backend data dynamically at render time. Replace placeholder marks in your post HTML with real-time remote data, ensuring your content is always up to date.

Background synchronizations
Automate your content workflow by scheduling synchronizations to run in the background. Keep your WordPress site fresh with minimal manual intervention.

Custom types
Easily register custom post types directly from the plugin settings using an intuitive visual interface. Define post meta fields and link post types to taxonomies—no coding required.

Debugging console
Track requests, responses, and errors in real time. Diagnose issues quickly and ensure smooth integration with your backend systems.

FAQ

Do I need to know how to code?

Nope! Posts Bridge is designed to set up complex HTTP configurations and pipelines of data transformation without the need to write code.

In addition, you can extend Posts Bridge with code using its hooks and PHP APIs.

Can I connect to my custom API?

Absolutely! Posts Bridge supports any HTTP API, whether it’s a cloud service or a self-hosted solution (like a Dockerized API on your VPS). If your API uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, etc.), Posts Bridge can connect to it.

Maybe a little understanding about how HTTP and HTTP-like APIs works will be required to set up your custom integrations.

What if my API requires authentication?

Posts Bridge supports API keys, Basic Auth, Bearer Tokens, OAuth, RPC credentials, Digest Auth and custom headers.

Is there a free trial?

Posts Bridge, including all its add-ons, is free to use.

How can I get support?

You can get support from Còdec using the Posts Bridge support forum for free. We aim to respond to all inquiries within 24-48 hours.

Reviews

February 11, 2026
I’m using Posts Bridge to sync job offers from Odoo to WordPress, and it works like a charm. The settings are intuitive, and the setup was quick and painless. One heads-up: It seems the plugin relies on Odoo’s RPC API, which is slated for deprecation in future releases. It would be great to see support for the newer JSON 2 API in new releases. Still, a fantastic tool Odoo-WordPress synchronization!
