Before you connect
- Have an HTTPS WordPress site running WordPress 5.6 or later.
- Sign in to WordPress with a user who can approve an application connection and create posts.
- Keep the WordPress admin page open so you can review the authorization request.
Connect your site
1
Open the Project's integrations
In Videntic, open your Project’s Settings → Integrations, then select WordPress.
2
Enter the WordPress address
Enter the site’s public HTTPS address, such as
https://example.com or https://example.com/blog for a subdirectory installation. Do not enter the wp-admin URL; Videntic takes you to the authorization page after you select Continue to WordPress.3
Continue to WordPress
Select Continue to WordPress. Videntic opens your WordPress admin authorization page.
4
Approve and return
Review the request in WordPress and approve it. WordPress returns you to Videntic, where the connection should show Connected.
Set up publishing
Open the connected WordPress card’s Publishing settings. Choose the author and whether new content should be a post or page. You can also decide whether to use an Article’s cover image as the WordPress featured image. When Automatic is available and selected, Videntic uploads and attaches the cover image for Articles that have one. Other available settings include comments, pingbacks, multilingual handling, and an optional call-to-action block. Start with your site’s defaults, then change only the settings your editorial workflow needs. Save the settings before sending an Article.Send and review an Article
- Open the Article in Videntic’s Content Studio and review its claims, links, images, and formatting.
- Get the required editorial approval before using Publish. Open the Article’s publishing dialog and select the intended WordPress connection. The default Publish action can make the Article live immediately. Turn on Save as WordPress draft if your team needs to approve it in WordPress first.
- Confirm the chosen action, then open the resulting WordPress item and check its status, site, author, images, links, and formatting.
- If you saved a draft, complete the review and publish it in WordPress when approved. Verify the live URL before treating the Article as Published Content. If your workflow exposes an option to update live content from Videntic, review that action carefully because it can change an existing page.
Fix connection problems
WordPress does not open: Confirm the address starts withhttps:// and points to the WordPress installation. Try opening its admin page directly.
Authorization was declined: Start again and approve the request in WordPress. If your account cannot approve it, ask a WordPress administrator to connect the site.
Connected but publishing fails: Check that the connection still shows Connected, that the chosen WordPress user can create content, and that the WordPress REST API is reachable. Reconnect if the authorization has been revoked.
The result is missing an image: Check whether the Article has a cover image and whether Featured image → Automatic is selected. Review the result in WordPress before publishing.
To stop using the connection, open the WordPress integration card and select Disconnect WordPress. You can also revoke Videntic’s application authorization in WordPress.
