What SYNC Does

The SYNC plugin connects your WordPress site to PressChain. When you publish in WordPress, your article goes live on your site immediately - and SYNC creates a Capsule draft in the background for you to review and submit. Cost: 50 PRESS (one-time). All other PressChain WordPress functionality is free. On testnet, SYNC is free.

Connect PressKey

SYNC Settings → Connect PressKey → Approve in PressKey → Done. The outlet wallet is now linked.

The Gutenberg Panel

Every post now has a PressChain panel in the sidebar showing:
  • Capsule draft status
  • Auto-suggested structured claims (review these)
  • Evidence upload area
  • Contributor list (author + editors)
  • Submit button
When you’re ready to submit, click Submit to PressChain. PressKey opens for your approval (30 PRESS fee). After approval, the Capsule enters the 72-hour acceptance window and the panel shows live vote progress.

The Press Network Feed Module

Every SYNC outlet must display the Press Network feed. Add it anywhere on your site:
[presschain_press_feed limit="5"]
Or use the PressChain Feed Gutenberg block. This is mandatory - disabling it triggers a fee and distribution downgrade.
