Shared, DreamPress or Liftoff — one plugin puts the WordPress blog on autopilot.
Whether your WordPress site runs on DreamHost shared hosting, DreamPress or Liftoff, the DraftSEO WordPress plugin connects it and turns each article into a native post. Two DreamHost specifics are worth knowing up front: its web application firewall can answer DraftSEO with a 418, and sites built in Remixer are not WordPress at all.
| WordPress hosting covered | Shared · DreamPress · Liftoff — every one connects through the same plugin |
|---|---|
| How articles arrive | Native WordPress posts — each image stored in your Media Library, category and SEO fields set |
| Web application firewall | On by default · 418 + 10-minute ban — no rule-by-rule tuning; switch it off for this site if publishing fails |
| Temporary addresses | Connect your real domain — not dreamhosters.com, dream.press or a login-protected staging copy |
| Remixer AI builder | Not WordPress — it cannot run plugins |
Who does what
Install the plugin, connect from your real domain, and that is the whole job — unless the firewall answers a publish with a 418, in which case you switch it off for this site once in the DreamHost panel. Articles then post without you.
One setup visit, then the blog keeps moving.
Setup
The steps match on shared hosting, DreamPress and Liftoff; only the firewall step depends on what happens.
Select DreamHost from Connect a site. DraftSEO shows its WordPress connect card with DreamHost’s notes pinned above, and saves an ordinary WordPress connection.
~10 seconds
From the WordPress dashboard, choose Plugins → Add New, search for “DraftSEO”, then install it and press Activate.
~1 minute
On the live site (not a login-protected staging copy), first check Settings → General → WordPress Address (URL) shows your real domain — the plugin connects the address saved there, not the one in your browser, not a temporary dreamhosters.com or dream.press address. Then hit Connect with DraftSEO.ai on the plugin’s settings screen.
~1 minute
DreamHost’s web application firewall is on by default. When it blocks a request it replies with a 418 and a 10-minute ban, and its rules cannot be adjusted one at a time — so if publishing fails that way, turn the firewall off for this site in the DreamHost panel.
Only if it blocks
Set a schedule and a publish mode, and new articles start appearing on your DreamHost site, illustrated and SEO-ready.

FAQ
Yes — on DreamHost WordPress sites, whether shared, DreamPress or Liftoff, through the DraftSEO WordPress plugin. The one thing to watch is DreamHost’s web application firewall: it is on by default, and if it answers a publish with a 418, switch it off for that site in the DreamHost panel.
No. Remixer is DreamHost’s AI builder, and what it builds isn’t WordPress and can’t take plugins, so the DraftSEO plugin has nowhere to live. A DreamHost WordPress site connects normally.
That status comes from DreamHost’s web application firewall. It blocks the request, returns a 418 and applies a 10-minute ban — and it cannot be relaxed rule by rule. If DraftSEO’s publishes keep hitting it, turn the firewall off for this site in the DreamHost panel.
Use your real domain. dreamhosters.com and dream.press are temporary addresses, and a login-protected staging copy isn’t the site your readers see either — connect the one they do.
No card required. About two minutes from install to connected.
