What WpBulkPublishing does with Ghost Importer

  • WpBulkPublishing detects Ghost Importer's custom fields and exposes them as WBP SEO field mappings.
  • SEO meta, JSON-LD schema, canonical and Open Graph values render correctly on every URL Ghost Importer produces.
  • Bulk operations (rewrites, schema application, redirect import) treat Ghost Importer content the same as native posts and pages.
  • IndexNow pings fire when Ghost Importer publishes or updates a page, keeping Bing, Yandex and Naver in sync.

Setup in under 5 minutes

  1. 1Install and activate Ghost Importer alongside WpBulkPublishing. Order doesn't matter — both hook the same WordPress events.
  2. 2Open WBP Settings → Integrations and toggle Ghost Importer on. WBP auto-detects the field structure.
  3. 3Map any custom fields you want WBP to read (title source, description source, image source) once per CPT.

Frequently asked

Do I need a paid Ghost Importer tier for this to work?

No. WpBulkPublishing integrates with the free Ghost Importer feature set. Paid Ghost Importer tiers unlock more source fields that WBP will surface automatically once they exist.

Will Ghost Importer plus WBP hurt page speed?

No. WBP defers to WordPress's head hook and its own output is cached per URL. Combined overhead in our tests stays under 20 ms even on shared hosting.

What happens if I deactivate Ghost Importer later?

WBP keeps every SEO field, redirect and schema block it wrote. You can migrate the content to another builder or the block editor without losing the SEO surface.
