The Pantheon Content Publisher plugin for WordPress enables seamless content publishing from Google Drive and Google Docs directly to WordPress sites. Perfect for editorial teams who collaborate on content within Google Docs, this plugin ensures a smooth transition from document creation to web publishing, facilitating real-time previews and direct publishing options.
Features
Real-time Preview
Experience seamless document previews within your WordPress environment as they would appear live on the web.
One-click Publishing
Enable direct publishing from Google Docs to WordPress, simplifying content management and streamlining workflows.
Custom Post Type Support
Publish content to any public post type registered on your WordPress site, including custom post types. Authors can also specify the target post type per document via metadata.
Smart Components
Embed rich media directly from Google Docs using the Content Publisher add-on. In the add-on sidebar, click Add Component, select Media Embed and enter a URL. Supported providers include YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, DailyMotion, Flickr, Twitter/X, Instagram and any other provider recognized by WordPress oEmbed. Unrecognized URLs fall back to an iframe embed. Authors can set custom width and height per component — defaults are 100% width and 400px height. Components are rendered as native WordPress embeds on publish with no admin configuration required. Developers can register custom components via the cpub_register_smart_components hook.
ACF Integration
Sync Content Publisher metadata fields to Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). Navigate to Settings > Pantheon Content Publisher > Integration tab to define field mappings per post type. Each tab shows ACF fields from the field groups assigned to that post type — enter the exact Content Publisher metadata field name (case-sensitive) to create a mapping. Mapped values are automatically applied on every publish. Sync errors are displayed in the Integration tab and auto-clear after one hour. Requires the ACF plugin (free or Pro) to be installed and active. Works with custom post types.
For more information, please check Pantheon Content Publisher documentation.
Integration with Third-Party Services
Important Disclosure
This plugin integrates with Google Drive and Google Docs to facilitate document publishing to WordPress.
When enabled, it will access documents from these services for the purposes of rendering previews and enabling publishing functionality via the Pantheon Content Publisher service. These services are not processing any data or content originating from WordPress or the plugin itself and no other third-party service is used to process data.
Pantheon Content Publisher policies and terms are available at https://legal.pantheon.io/
This plugin makes use of the Apollo open-source GraphQL Client library and references its Chrome extension.
Google Chrome Web Store: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.
Mozilla/FireFox: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy
This library only suggests the use of this tool to developers. Users don’t interact with it and no data is exchanged with this service.
This service is provided by Apollo. See the Apollo Term of Service and Apollo Privacy Policy for details on terms.
Data Handling
User documents from Google Drive are accessed and processed to generate content on WordPress.
No other personal data is shared with or stored on third-party services beyond this operational scope.
The Pantheon Content Publisher plugin can be installed like any other WordPress Plugin, from your WordPress Dashboard, go to Plugins -> Add Plugin and search for: Pantheon Content Publisher, click the Install Now button and then click Activate.
After the plugin is active, set up your connection to Pantheon Content Publisher and Google Drive via the settings page in the WordPress admin dashboard.
Once connected:
- Connection tab — Configure collections and choose the target post type (including custom post types).
- Integration tab — Map Content Publisher metadata fields to ACF fields per post type (requires the ACF plugin).
- Smart Components — Work automatically with no extra configuration. Authors add media embeds from the Google Docs add-on.
Create a management token at https://content.pantheon.io/dashboard. Proceed to the Pantheon Content Publisher settings page in your WordPress admin dashboard and paste the token into the “Management token” field.
The connection will be established automatically.
All posts/pages created with Pantheon Content Publisher will remain on your WordPress site. However, you will no longer be able to edit them from Google Docs.
Go to Settings > Pantheon Content Publisher > Integration tab. Select a post type tab, then enter the exact Content Publisher metadata field name next to each ACF field you want to map. Values sync automatically on every publish. The ACF plugin (free or Pro) must be installed and active.
Yes. The ACF plugin must be installed and active. If ACF is not detected, the Integration tab displays a warning and field mappings are skipped during publish.
Yes. When creating or editing a collection, select the target post type from the dropdown. You can also select “Chosen by the author” to let document authors control the post type via the wp-post-type metadata field.
Enter the ‘@’ symbol in the document, a pop-up will show in which you can search for integrations, search for “Pantheon” and choose the “Pantheon Component”. You will then see a pop-up in which you can select the Media Embed.
