### How to Use Self-Hosted Wordpress Poster

This Wizard is broken into two steps:

<figure><img src="https://2718133043-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2UzeMjUGHvOZRX1jMiVc%2Fuploads%2FZu4hosN1AJB6tROJFpzK%2Fshw%20poster%202.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=d92baabf-69b6-441a-b0c2-b74a09995f49" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1\) General Settings

2\) Post Settings

Let's go and set each available option on this wizard.

***

### Step 1 - General Settings

### Campaign Folder <a href="#campaign-folder" id="campaign-folder"></a>

<figure><img src="https://2718133043-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2UzeMjUGHvOZRX1jMiVc%2Fuploads%2FpBrTccOHSm1MltPA3Wn7%2Fshw%20poster%203.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=3a3e96f1-0935-47d8-9f50-61e81f300ac2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In this option you select where you want the wizard to store generated campaign. The default option is "**Auto generate**" which generates a new folder automatically.

If you want the wizard to store the new campaign into a specific folder you can select "**Select a Folder**" radio button and use the drop-down menu to select a specific folder.

<figure><img src="https://2718133043-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2UzeMjUGHvOZRX1jMiVc%2Fuploads%2F5cmIouQgrn9SHDqC8QPy%2Fccp-3.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=fb3256d1-6918-415b-8f34-810560294b01" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Name Prefix

<figure><img src="https://2718133043-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2UzeMjUGHvOZRX1jMiVc%2Fuploads%2FrWRJZUmMdSpGHeRbDjSb%2Fshw%20poster%204.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=4d42fa8d-b444-44d3-ad11-a37291c11565" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Name prefix** gives a prefix on generated campaign name to help you identify it later. Name prefix is optional but it is recommended if you want to keep your campaigns better organized.

### Indexer

<figure><img src="https://2718133043-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2UzeMjUGHvOZRX1jMiVc%2Fuploads%2F9gVkIFEuxrmtCMDikmOi%2Fshw%20poster%205.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=701bbb46-f9df-47b4-a7ff-c30bfa11609d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is the same option that you can find also in other SEO Neo sections (for example when you create a new campaign). You can select an indexer to use for your Self-Hosted WordPress posts.

{% hint style="info" %}
It is **recommended** to use [**Omega Indexer**](https://www.omegaindexer.com/) or [**Colinkri**](https://www.colinkri.com/) if you want better results with indexing your posts.

If you need more information on how to setup an indexer [**read this section**](https://docs.seoneo.io/quick-start/creating-your-1st-campaign/before-creating-your-campaign/basic-settings#indexers) of our documentation.
{% endhint %}

In this section you select which self-hosted WordPress you want to use to create your posts. You can filter-out your self-hosted WordPress websites by folder (using the left drop-down menu and selecting a folder).

{% hint style="info" %}

<figure><img src="https://2718133043-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2UzeMjUGHvOZRX1jMiVc%2Fuploads%2FlUHFnlysRkxhoSkHQtK9%2Fshw%20poster%208.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=792cbce9-e4fa-4478-ab55-ac7b6ea899b2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

When you finish with General Settings click on "**Next**" button to navigate to the second step of the wizard.

### Step 2 - Post Settings

This step includes all the options to define your posts on your WordPress website (the one you selected on the previous step).

<figure><img src="https://2718133043-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2UzeMjUGHvOZRX1jMiVc%2Fuploads%2FDMpkA3RqdDSOtxqZG3cx%2Fshw%202-1.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=9961667b-2ff7-4403-9fbb-19a4f93a8074" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Post Settings

<figure><img src="https://2718133043-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2UzeMjUGHvOZRX1jMiVc%2Fuploads%2FY7YZuTrcqdO3d99hcVtH%2Fshw%202-2.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=fc12c44d-7135-4558-bab3-579a8256667a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Posts per Day**: as the name suggests, defines the number of posts SEO Neo to perform per day. There is a limitation of *100 maximum posts* per day.

**Internal Links:** sets the number of internal links you want to be created for your posts. Internal links are hyperlinks that connect one page on a website to another page within the same domain.

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep in mind that you need **OpenAI** **API key** to use **Internal Links** feature.
{% endhint %}

For more information on internal links you can read [**this section of our documentation**](https://docs.seoneo.io/documentation/features/internal-linking).

**Internal Links Relevance:** Self-Hosted WordPress has an additional setting for internal links. With this option you can set how internal links are generated. There are three different options:

<figure><img src="https://2718133043-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2UzeMjUGHvOZRX1jMiVc%2Fuploads%2FPPhJm1w6u6s2Ykt22vnG%2Fshw%20internal%20links%20relevance.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=8e514e35-d03d-4b3f-b6f6-65db1043ad75" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

| Option         | Info                                                                               |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **random**     | random selection between (categories and tags)                                     |
| **categories** | internal links are generated from posts exclusive to the selected group categories |
| **tags**       | internal links are generated from posts exclusive to the selected group tags.      |

### Understanding Category Groups

This wizard helps you create posts on your self-hosted WordPress website. To help you with this task we created category groups. A category group is a group of posts settings that apply on different categories of your WordPress website. This means that you can create different posts with different settings on different categories.

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep in mind that you need **at least one category group**. Your website categories can be included **in only one** category group.
{% endhint %}

**Example:**

Let's assume we have three categories on our website: A, B, C

We can create a category group that posts on **A, B** and another category group that posts on **C**.

Creating a category group that posts on **A, B** and another category group that posts on **B,C** is not valid. This is because the second group includes a category (**B**) that is **already included** in first group.
