AccessNow Instant Import is a new free plugin that brings posts and pages written with an AI assistant into WordPress as drafts, with their pictures, categories, tags and templates already set. Write with Claude, ChatGPT or whichever assistant you like, and import the result in one upload instead of copying and pasting it in, one post and one picture at a time.
Download it free from the AccessNow Instant Import project page. It is on its way to WordPress.org.
Writing is quick. Getting it into WordPress isn’t.
An assistant can draft a week of posts in minutes. Then the slow part starts: paste the text, fix the formatting, upload every picture, set the featured image and its alt text, pick the categories and tags, write the excerpt, choose the template. For each post. Instant Import does that part for you.
How it works
- Download the spec. The plugin writes a spec made for your site: its content types, categories, custom fields, templates, the picture sizes your theme wants, your colours and your house style, and the pages it can link to.
- Give it to your assistant with what you want written and any photos. It hands back one zip, a content pack.
- Upload the zip. Every item becomes a draft, as proper WordPress blocks, with its pictures in the Media Library.
Because the spec is made for one site, a pack fits the site it was written for: the right categories, a featured image wide enough for your theme, a landing page template where you asked for one. Keep the spec in a Claude or ChatGPT project and every conversation starts from it.
Safe by design
- Nothing is published. New items are always drafts, for you to read first.
- Nothing is overwritten. An item that already exists is left as it is.
- Nothing leaves your site. No API key, no account, and no connection to any AI service. You carry the spec to your assistant and the zip back.
Thinking of leaving a page builder?
Tools → Page builder content scans your site for pages drawn by Thrive Architect or Elementor and shows how much of each would carry over into ordinary blocks: text, headings, pictures, buttons, columns, tables, videos and toggles, and what wouldn’t (forms, countdowns, maps). It only reads, so it is safe to run on a live site.
Instant Import Pro
Pro adds the other direction. Export what you already have, let your assistant improve it, and bring the changes back as updates, after a preview or as staged copies someone approves, with undo. And Blockshift converts Thrive Architect and Elementor pages into blocks, one page at a time, as review copies you approve; the builder’s own copy is kept, so undo puts the page back exactly. See the project page for details.
