Description
Sutrify Post Relay lets you automatically replicate posts from one WordPress site to another using the standard WordPress REST API. All credentials are encrypted in the database using AES-256-CBC so nothing sensitive is stored in plain text.
Key Features:
- AES-256-CBC Encryption at Rest — API credentials are encrypted with a SHA-256 derived key before being stored in the database.
- Granular Status Rules — Choose exactly which status transitions (Publish, Draft, Pending, Private) trigger a sync dispatch.
- Custom Post Type Mapping — Map local CPT slugs to the matching slugs registered on the remote site.
- Retry Queue — Failed syncs are queued in a custom log table and retried automatically via WordPress Cron.
- Audit Log Viewer — Browse request payloads and response bodies from the admin dashboard and export them as CSV.
- Bulk Sync — Retroactively push any existing set of posts with a batched, progressive bulk runner.
- Multisite Compatible — Fully network-compatible, storing settings in network option tables when running on a multisite installation.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin modify the public-facing site?
-
No. All output is limited to the WordPress admin area. Nothing is added to your public pages.
-
Is the REST API password stored securely?
-
Yes. The application password is encrypted with AES-256-CBC before being saved to the database. The encryption key is derived from your site’s
SECURE_AUTH_KEYconstant. -
Does it work on WordPress Multisite?
-
Yes. When Multisite is active, settings are stored in the network options table and the plugin appears under Network Settings.
-
Can I test against a local development site?
-
Yes. Enable Allow non-HTTPS / local URLs in the Connection settings. This skips HTTPS enforcement and private IP blocking. Disable this option before using in production.
-
What happens if a sync fails?
-
Failed syncs are logged in the Sync Logs tab. If the Auto-Retry Failures option is enabled, WordPress Cron will automatically retry failed entries every 5 minutes, up to the configured maximum retry count.
-
Will the plugin clean up after itself when uninstalled?
-
Yes. When the plugin is deleted through the WordPress admin, it removes the encrypted settings option and drops the custom sync log table from the database.
