Description

Vectoron provides three main features:

1. REST API Endpoints

Secure REST API endpoints for external content management, perfect for integrating with automation platforms like Superblocks, Zapier, or custom applications.

Create and update posts programmatically
Manage categories
Upload media (file upload, base64, or URL)
Full authentication support (Basic Auth or custom headers)

2. Content Shortcodes

The [vectoron_article] shortcode provides:

Automatic wpautop disabling for custom HTML content
Built-in GA4 event tracking
FAQ accordion styling support

3. ACF Integration

Automatically sync post content to Advanced Custom Fields:

Settings page under Settings > Vectoron
Auto-detect WYSIWYG fields in ACF field groups
Support for Flexible Content, Repeaters, and Groups
ACF sync triggered by Vectoron API or X-Vectoron-Sync header
Works with both custom Vectoron API and native WP REST API

4. Page Builder Integrations

Seamless integration with popular WordPress page builders:

Elementor: Auto-sync content to Elementor’s text-editor widgets
Beaver Builder: Auto-sync content to Beaver Builder’s rich-text modules
DIVI: Auto-sync content to DIVI’s shortcode format (sections, rows, columns, text modules)
WP Bakery: Auto-sync content to WP Bakery’s shortcode format (rows, columns, column_text)
Configurable sync modes: Auto (detect existing builder posts), Always (convert all posts), or Disabled
Cache clearing for immediate visual updates

5. SEO Plugin Integrations

Automatic SEO metadata sync with popular SEO plugins:

Yoast SEO: Sync meta description, SEO title, and focus keyword
SEOpress: Sync meta description, SEO title, and target keyword
Rank Math: Sync meta description, SEO title, and focus keyword
All SEO fields set via API are automatically synced to the active SEO plugin

API Endpoints

All endpoints use the namespace vectoron/v1:

POST /wp-json/vectoron/v1/posts – Create a new post
PUT /wp-json/vectoron/v1/posts/{id} – Update an existing post
POST /wp-json/vectoron/v1/categories – Create a category
POST /wp-json/vectoron/v1/media – Upload media
GET /wp-json/vectoron/v1/status – Health check (no auth required)

Authentication

Three authentication methods are supported:

HTTP Basic Auth – Standard username:password
Authorization Header – Authorization: Basic <base64>
Custom Headers – X-WP-Username and X-WP-Password

ACF Sync Header

When using the native WordPress REST API (/wp-json/wp/v2/posts) instead of the Vectoron custom API, you can trigger ACF sync by adding the X-Vectoron-Sync header:

X-Vectoron-Sync: true

This is useful when:

You want to use WordPress’s native post creation/update endpoints
Your integration already uses the WP REST API
You need features only available in the native API

Without this header, native WP REST API requests will NOT trigger ACF sync, ensuring Gutenberg and other WordPress interfaces don’t interfere with ACF content.

Security Features

Rate limiting (60 requests/minute per IP)
Capability-based permission checks
SSRF protection for URL uploads
Input sanitization and validation
Protected meta key filtering

Installation

Upload the vectoron folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Test the API status at /wp-json/vectoron/v1/status

FAQ

What permissions are required for API access?

Creating posts: User must have edit_posts capability (or edit_pages for page post type)
Updating posts: User must have edit_post capability for the specific post being edited
Categories: User must have manage_categories capability
Media: User must have upload_files capability

What image formats are supported for media uploads?

JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP formats are supported, with a maximum file size of 10MB.

How do I use the shortcode?

Simply add [vectoron_article] to any post or page where you want to disable automatic paragraph formatting and enable GA4 tracking. (Note: The legacy [marketing_visionary_article] shortcode has been removed; please update any existing content to use [vectoron_article].)

Is the API rate limited?

Yes, the API is rate limited to 60 requests per minute per IP address to prevent abuse.

Changelog

2.10.1

Fixed: Always use ‘wp-page’ template type for Elementor (using ‘wp-post’ caused content not to render)
This matches the working configuration found in properly formatted Elementor posts

2.10.0

Enhanced Elementor integration with proper metadata and modern container support
Added _elementor_template_type meta field (wp-page for pages, wp-post for posts)
Added _wp_page_template meta field for pages (required by Elementor)
Added _elementor_pro_version meta field when Elementor Pro is installed
Smart container detection: uses modern flexbox containers (Elementor 3.6+) when enabled
Fallback to legacy section/column structure for older Elementor or when containers are disabled
Status endpoint now reports containers_enabled and layout_mode for debugging
Improved code quality: centralized container detection helper function

2.9.9

Fixed: Page builder integrations now wrap content in .vectoron-content container
This ensures all Vectoron CSS styles (FAQ accordions, headings, tables, etc.) work correctly
Affects: Elementor, Beaver Builder, DIVI, and WP Bakery integrations
Existing posts will be styled correctly on next publish/update via Vectoron API

2.9.8

Added WP Bakery (Visual Composer) Page Builder integration for automatic content sync
New settings card for WP Bakery sync mode configuration (Auto/Always/Disabled)
WP Bakery status added to /status API endpoint (installed, version, sync_mode)
Content converted to WP Bakery shortcode structure: row -> column -> column_text
Smart detection prevents double-wrapping of existing WP Bakery shortcode content
Full cache clearing support for WP Bakery CSS transients and custom CSS files
Manual sync test diagnostics now include WP Bakery detection and testing
Page builder integrations section updated in documentation

2.9.7

New Default: Page builder sync mode now defaults to “Always” for new installations
Elementor, Beaver Builder, and DIVI now sync ALL Vectoron-published content by default
This fixes issues where content appeared in the page builder editor but not on the frontend
Rationale: Vectoron creates content – there’s no existing page builder layout to protect
Existing installations keep their current settings – no action required
Users who manually design page builder layouts can change sync mode to “Auto” to protect them

2.9.6

ACF WYSIWYG fields now automatically process shortcodes via acf/format_value/type=wysiwyg filter
Shortcodes like [vectoron_article] in ACF content are now executed when displayed via the_field() or get_field()

2.9.5

Shortcode detection now checks both post_content AND configured ACF field
CSS/JS assets now load even when shortcode is only in ACF field (not in main content)
Added vectoron_has_shortcode() helper function for unified shortcode detection

2.9.4

ACF auto-detection now runs on every admin page load (not just plugin activation)
Automatically selects first WYSIWYG field if ACF is installed and no field is configured
Fixes issue where ACF installed after Vectoron was never auto-detected

2.9.3

Fixed sync test aborting early when only SEO plugins are installed (no page builders)
SEO plugins (Yoast, SEOpress, Rank Math) now count as valid sync targets
Full debug log now displays even when no page builders are configured

2.9.2

Fixed Yoast SEO focus keyphrase not appearing in Edit Post UI
Corrected meta key from _yoast_wpseo_focuskeyword to _yoast_wpseo_focuskw
