Write for Us WordPress: WordPress Blog Guest Post Guidelines

WordPress content is endless plugin lists. What this blog wants is a real WordPress lesson: a speed fix, a security incident, a migration, or a build that solved a business problem, with the result.

My readers run WordPress sites that matter to their business. They want the fix and its effect, so a WordPress post has to teach from a real site, not a plugin roundup.

60-second WordPress guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you done the WordPress work you describe
• Do you have a load time, a result or a recovery to share
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you removed any pitch for a plugin, theme or host
• Could a site owner copy your fix this week

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• A WordPress speed fix and what it did to load time
• A security incident on WordPress and how you recovered
• A migration or host change and what broke on the way
• A custom build that solved a business problem without bloat
• Cutting plugin bloat and the effect on performance
• An SEO or Core Web Vitals fix on WordPress, with numbers
• A backup and recovery test you ran for real
• Scaling a busy WordPress site and where it strained

If your post could be published on any WordPress site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Plugin listicles with no real use behind them
• Posts that promote one plugin, theme or host
• Generic how to start a blog posts
• Previously published posts republished from another site
• Thin content under 800 words with no real site behind it

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong WordPress pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the best WordPress plugins for 2026." A strong one says "A page that took nine seconds to load was killing our mobile traffic, and I want to show the three things we found, the one that mattered most, and how we got it under three seconds." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A speed fix with the load time
• A security incident and the recovery
• A migration and what broke
• A fix a site owner could copy this week
• A contrarian view on a WordPress habit

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept WordPress guest posts?

Yes. WordPress guest posts are welcome from a developer, marketer or site owners and similar writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline plugin listicles.

What WordPress topics do you accept?

We accept speed fixes, security incidents and recovery, migrations, custom builds without bloat, cutting plugin bloat, Core Web Vitals, and scaling busy sites. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview of WordPress.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn, or a guest slot on another site under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.

How do I submit a WordPress guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long should a WordPress guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.

What makes a WordPress pitch stand out?

A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: A page that took nine seconds to load was killing our mobile traffic, and I want to show the three things we found, the one that mattered most, and how we got it under three seconds.
