WordPress only accepts meta keys in the REST API that are registered with show_in_rest, and silently discards the rest. Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO and SEOPress do not register theirs, so a request that includes SEO data returns “201 Created” and publishes the post without the SEO title or meta description.
Odiseo SEO Bridge registers those keys — only the ones for the SEO plugin you already have active — so they can be written through the standard WordPress REST API.
What it does, and what it does NOT do:
- Registers the SEO fields (title, meta description, focus keyword) of your active plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO or SEOPress) in the REST API.
- Does NOT change your SEO configuration or your existing content.
- Does NOT add menus, settings or anything on the frontend.
- Only users who can already edit a post can write its SEO fields.
- If no SEO plugin is detected, it does nothing and shows a notice in the dashboard.
It is open source (GPL) and makes no external calls: it only opens the field so it can be written through WordPress’s standard API. It is a useful building block for any headless or automated publishing setup.
