Publishers are under growing pressure to build direct audience relationships and more durable revenue as search and social traffic become less dependable. Newsletters can help on both fronts, especially when the platform also supports subscriber growth, paid subscriptions, audience insights, and advertising.
That broader value has helped beehiiv grow rapidly. But for digital publishers whose websites and editorial operations run on WordPress, adopting beehiiv could mean either adding substantial busywork to daily publishing, such as recreating content in a second platform, or investing in a custom integration.
Fueled partnered with beehiiv to design and build the official beehiiv plugin for WordPress. The plugin makes it faster and easier for publishers to adopt beehiiv’s growth and monetization capabilities while keeping much of their routine editorial work inside WordPress: turning posts into newsletters, adding signup forms, and incorporating beehiiv advertising placements into newsletter content.
Fueled has been one of the best partners we’ve worked with, hands down… Fueled knows WordPress inside and out…
Viktor Tretyak, Senior Manager of Solutions Engineering at beehiiv
Our team brought firsthand experience connecting WordPress and beehiiv through a successful custom integration for the 9to5 network, including 9to5Mac and Electrek. That project demonstrated how much repetitive work a well-designed WordPress integration could remove. Those lessons informed Fueled’s product and engineering work on the official plugin, while close collaboration with beehiiv ensured it aligned with the platform, API, customer needs, and product roadmap.
After securely connecting a beehiiv account, writers can decide in WordPress whether and when to send a post as a newsletter, and whether subscribers receive the full article or a teaser linking back to the website. Behind those controls, Fueled built a translation layer that converts supported WordPress blocks and formatting into beehiiv’s structured email content, allowing articles to move between the platforms without being rebuilt by hand while keeping the two versions connected.
The plugin also makes audience growth and monetization part of the same workflow. A native subscription block lets publishers place existing beehiiv signup forms on any WordPress page or post, while a dedicated advertising block lets editors add beehiiv advertising placements to newsletter content without displaying them on the corresponding webpage.
Those capabilities save time while making it easier to attract subscribers and monetize newsletters from the publishing system their teams already use.
The official beehiiv plugin for WordPress is available now on the WordPress.org plugin directory. It gives publishers a practical way to begin using beehiiv alongside WordPress, with a foundation the product can build on over time.
