WordPress integration

Connect WordPress to publish articles directly to your WordPress site.

Required credentials

• WordPress site URL
• WordPress username (user with publishing permission)
• WordPress Application Password

The Application Password is not your regular login password. It is a separate, user-generated password created in your WordPress account specifically for external apps and integrations.

Setup steps

1. Open WordPress Admin.
2. Go to Users → Profile (for the publishing user).
3. In Application Passwords, create a new password for Blogflair.
   
   
4. Copy the generated password immediately (WordPress shows it once). WordPress often displays it with spaces between groups for readability—remove those spaces when you paste it into Blogflair so the credential is one continuous string.
5. In Blogflair, open your brand’s WordPress integration form.
6. Enter:
   • Site URL (with or without https://)
   • Username
   • Application Password
     
     
7. Click Save WordPress Integration and test connection.

Recommended permissions

• Use a dedicated WordPress user for API publishing.
• Avoid using the core admin account when possible.

Publishing behavior

• Blogflair sends title/content/metadata to WordPress via REST API.
• You can use your WordPress dashboard to handle categories/tags/review workflows.

Common issues

Authentication failed

• Recreate the Application Password and paste it again.
• Confirm username matches the account that generated the password.

Site URL rejected

• Use your canonical WordPress URL.
• If WordPress is in a subdirectory, include it correctly.

Permission denied

• Ensure the WordPress user role can create/publish posts.

Security tips

• Rotate Application Passwords regularly.
• Revoke passwords not actively used with Blogflair.
