Connect WordPress with an Application Password
Prepare WordPress application credentials and connect the correct website through Erza's integration settings.
In this article
Prepare a WordPress account authorized to create posts on the destination website. Use an Application Password dedicated to the integration instead of sharing your main WordPress login password. Confirm the intended site address first.
Steps
- In WordPress administration, open Users, then Profile, and find Application Passwords. Create clearly named credentials for Erza and store the displayed value.
- In Erza, open Settings, then Integration, and choose the WordPress connection option.
- Enter the site URL, WordPress username, and the Application Password for that account. Use the correct URL scheme and remove unintended spaces.
- Choose Connect and wait for validation. Check the website identity shown in the connection result.
- Test publishing with draft status first. Confirm that the post reaches the correct site before using direct publication or scheduling.
Expected result
A successful connection becomes available in supported WordPress publication workflows. The WordPress account's permissions still determine allowed actions.
Troubleshooting
- If Application Passwords is absent or the connection is rejected, check WordPress configuration, account access, and restrictions set by the site administrator.
- To replace credentials, create new ones and update the connection through its supported flow. Never include an Application Password in a support ticket.
