Auto-Sync Medium Posts to WordPress (Draft-First, Idempotent)
WordPress still wins when you need categories, plugins, schema, and URLs you own. Medium still wins for distribution. Mature teams run both with a pipe—not a one-weekend export.
Tool outcome: A WP-Cron or server cron that creates draft posts from new Medium article_id values only once.
Why manual import fails
Copy-paste breaks images, internal links, and heading hierarchy. Duplicate posts appear when someone re-imports the same essay. Automation is quality control: same mapping rules every run.
