Frase - WordPress integration
# Frase <-> WordPress integration
It works and it's clean. Some minor UX tweaks and availing of more WP API functionality would improve the process.
### Passwords are shown in the clear on Frase's Integration and Publish screens:
* minor UX issue w typing password in the clear
* more-than-minor to UX / expectations / familiar patterns
* Frase requests the password with each Frase -> WP publish event

### WP Post drafts published from Frase
* drafts published from Frase come through as "Classic Editor" vs WP Gutenberg blocks
* Title
* Single body field
* WP's "Convert to Blocks" works well enough from that side
* the Headings, Lists, Paragraph formatting persisted from Frase -> WP
* taxonomic terms -- category and tags -- published as-designed
* only a single Category can be selected on the Frase side

### Works well w WP's recent "Application Password" feature
* Created WP account for Frase
* set up "Application Password" in WP for that user
