WordPress

Authentication

When you're setting up your first workflow with WordPress, you will need to create a Credential in order to connect MESA with WordPress.

To create a WordPress credential, login to your account at https://login.wordpress.org/

First, copy your Hostname by selecting the URL from your search bar while within your dashboard and paste it into the Hostname field of the WordPress step in your workflow. This should be the URL including https:// up to (but not including) /wp-admin/

Next, open the Users menu from the left sidebar of the WordPress dashboard and click on the user of the WordPress account that you want to connect with. On the Profile page, scroll down and copy the Username and paste it in the Username field of your WordPress step.

Lastly, while still in the Profile page, scroll down to the Application Passwords and enter MESA in the New Application Password Name field. Then, click Add Application Password.

Copy the generated password and paste it into the Password field or your WordPress step in your workflow.

Once that's done, click the Add connection button to complete your credential setup. You should now see your new credential added to the dropdown when the step updates.
