Frequently asked questions
Do I need an Inkwell Plus subscription?
Yes. The Inkwell API requires a Plus subscription ($5/month) to create entries. You can verify your API key without Plus, but posts will not crosspost until you upgrade.
What data does this plugin send externally?
When a post is crossposted, the plugin sends the post title, full HTML content, tags, category, and optionally the featured image and excerpt to api.inkwell.social. No other data is transmitted and no user tracking takes place.
Will my full post content be sent to Inkwell?
Yes. The plugin sends your complete post content as HTML. All standard WordPress content (blocks, shortcodes, embeds) is processed before sending.
Can I stop a specific post from being crossposted?
Yes. Every post has a Crosspost to Inkwell panel in the editor sidebar. Check “Disable crosspost for this post” before publishing and it will be skipped.
What happens if the API request fails?
The error is recorded in the post’s crosspost log, visible in the editor sidebar. The post is not marked as crossposted, so you can retry manually using the “Send to Inkwell Now” button.
Will updating a post create a duplicate on Inkwell?
Not by default. The plugin only posts when a post is first published. You can optionally enable “Crosspost on Update” in settings, but this creates a new Inkwell entry on every save.
Is there a character limit?
No. Unlike short-form social platforms, Inkwell supports full journal entries with no character limit.
