  I have developed two applications:
  https://industrywired.com/ and https://www.analyticsinsight.net/

  Currently, I publish all articles manually through a custom admin panel. Managing everything there has become quite hectic and stressful.

  I’m considering using WordPress as the admin panel or CMS so that I can easily write and manage news articles. My goal is to publish articles and news from WordPress and have them automatically appear in my applications.

  However, I’m new to wordpress & I’m not sure how to set this up.

  • Can WordPress be used as a backend/admin panel for a custom application?
  • What is the best way to send WordPress posts to my application (for example, using the REST API)?
  • Are there any recommended plugins or approaches for this?

  I would really appreciate any guidance or resources to help me implement this.

  You can’t use wordpress as backend or CMS for a custom application.

  Hey staartmees,

  Thank you for your suggestion.

  I had heard from some people that it might be possible to use WordPress as a CMS or backend for a custom application, which is why I was curious to explore this option. Since I’m not very experienced with WordPress, I wanted to ask here to confirm whether it’s actually feasible.

  If you or anyone else has suggestions, alternative approaches, or resources that could help with this, I would really appreciate it.

  Thanks again.
