Connect WordPress CMS to Devad POST

Connect WordPress posts or pages with optional subsite REST base, tags, categories, and SEO/meta fields.

What this channel does

  • WordPress CMS uses a tenant site URL, optional REST base, username, and application password.
  • Only superadmin-enabled and plan-allowed channels appear to tenants in POST.

Before you start

  • A WordPress user that can create posts.
  • A WordPress application password.
  • HTTPS and a working WordPress REST API.
  • For multisite, the exact subsite REST base URL when it differs from the site URL.

Connect in Devad POST

  • Open `/workspaces/apps/post/channels` and choose WordPress CMS.
  • Site URL: the public site or subsite URL.
  • REST base URL: optional, for example `https://example.com/subsite/wp-json/wp/v2`.
  • Username: WordPress username.
  • Application password: generated in WordPress user profile.
  • Save the connection and confirm the channel appears as connected.

Publish with this channel

  • Choose post or page.
  • Optionally set slug, excerpt, author ID, category IDs, tag IDs, and featured media ID.
  • For SEO, choose None, Generic meta, or SiteSEO and fill title, meta description, focus keyword, canonical URL, and Open Graph fields.

Common fixes

  • 401: recreate the application password and confirm username.
  • 404: check the REST base URL, especially for multisite.
  • Invalid meta: select None or confirm your SEO plugin registers REST meta fields.

Security notes

  • Never paste tokens, webhooks, passwords, or API keys into tickets, screenshots, public docs, or AI prompts.
  • Use a credential dedicated to Devad POST and revoke it if access changes.
  • Use HTTPS endpoints only.
