Connect WordPress to VectraSEO for SEO content publishing and site health monitoring.

== Description ==

VectraSEO is an SEO operations platform for generating, publishing, and monitoring search-focused content. The VectraSEO WordPress connector helps site administrators prepare a WordPress site for VectraSEO publishing through the built-in WordPress REST API and Application Passwords.

The plugin adds a WordPress admin settings page with the connection details needed by VectraSEO, including the site URL, posts endpoint, and a non-sensitive status endpoint. It does not publish public links, add tracking scripts, or send data to VectraSEO automatically.

= Features =

* Admin setup page for connecting WordPress to VectraSEO.
* Local status endpoint at `/wp-json/vectraseo/v1/status`.
* Checks whether WordPress Application Passwords are available.
* No public-facing badges, credits, or injected frontend links.
* No automatic outbound data transfer.

= External service =

This plugin is designed to be used with the hosted VectraSEO service at https://vectraseo.com/.

When you choose to connect your site inside the VectraSEO application, VectraSEO may use the WordPress REST API and the Application Password that you create in WordPress to publish, update, or delete posts according to your VectraSEO project settings. This plugin itself does not send data to VectraSEO automatically.
