Cadence is Elegia's content system. It drafts, translates and reviews articles\nin a brand's own voice, starting from what the brand has already published.\nThis plugin is how those articles reach your site: Cadence sends each finished\npiece to WordPress, usually as a draft for you to review, and links its\nlanguage versions as WPML translations so nobody has to do it by hand.<\/p>\n\n

WPML has no documented REST endpoint for creating or linking translated posts,\nso the language variants of a piece never become each other's translations\nwithout somebody linking them by hand. This plugin exposes an endpoint that\nwrites that relationship through WPML's own wpml_set_element_language_details<\/code>\naction, plus endpoints to publish a piece and to replace one it published.<\/p>\n\n

Callers authenticate with a connector key issued on the settings screen, not as\na WordPress user, and every request carries an Ed25519 signature over its own\nbytes: the key says a caller may publish here, the signature says this body is\nthe one that caller composed. A request that disagrees with the site's state\nis refused rather than reconciled: a duplicate identifier, a language the site\ndoes not run, a post this key did not publish.<\/p>\n\n

Nothing else is added: no post types, no front-end output, no telemetry, and no\nnetwork requests of its own. The plugin never calls out; it only answers.<\/p>\n\n

WPML 4.5 or newer is needed for the translation-linking endpoint; only WPML's\ncore plugin is used, not the String Translation or Translation Management\nadd-ons. Monolingual sites run the same plugin with no WPML; which one a site\nis must be declared in the request rather than detected here.<\/p>\n\n

  1. Install through Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong>, or upload the plugin directory to\n wp-content\/plugins\/.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate it. The three endpoints go live under \/wp-json\/cadence\/v1\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to Settings \u2192 Cadence Connector<\/strong> and issue a connector key: give it a\nlabel naming the tenant, tick the capabilities it needs, choose the byline\nits posts carry and the post types it may publish into.<\/li>\n
  4. The key is shown once and never again; the site stores only a SHA-256 of it.\nCallers present it as an X-Cadence-Key<\/code> header.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Does the plugin send anything anywhere?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. It answers requests and makes none of its own. It has no update-fetching\ncode of its own either: updates arrive through WordPress.org like any other\nhosted plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does it need WPML?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Only the translation-linking endpoint does. Publishing and replacing work on a\nmonolingual site with no WPML installed.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

    • The translation-linking route now requires an Ed25519 attestation over the\nplan's own bytes, as the publishing and replacing routes already did.<\/li>\n
    • Connector keys carry the post types they may reach; a key that no longer\npublishes a type no longer links it either.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Receives articles from Cadence, Elegia's content system, as WordPress drafts, with each language version linked as a WPML translation.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/li.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/375236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/li.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/li.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/li.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375236"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/li.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/elegiaio"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/li.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/li.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=375236"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/li.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=375236"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/li.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=375236"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/li.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=375236"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/li.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=375236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
