Connect MySite (WordPress)

Connect your MySite (WordPress)

Please ensure that you are logged into your MySite (WordPress) before attempting to connect it with MAGgie.

If you are not logged into your MySite when starting the integration process, the system will first log you in and open the WordPress Editor. In this case, you will need to repeat the process once more to complete the connection successfully.

Step 1: Go to the Settings tab in MAGgie™ and look for the Connect WordPress section.

Step 2: Enter your site's URL and click on the Connect button.

If you are using a custom domain, add /wp-admin in your website link while pasting it in MAGgie. For example, if your website is https://www.myblog.com, enter https://www.myblog.com/wp-admin in the site's URL field in MAGgie

Step 3: The WordPress login page will open. Enter your credentials and click on the Log In button.

Step 4: After logging in, Authorize Application page will open. Click on Yes, I approve of this connection, and the connection will be completed.

WordPress integration isn't working?

The large majority of issues concerning MAGgie's WordPress integration are down to either settings on the site's server/hosting, or security plugins that have been installed on the site.

Unfortunately it's difficult to debug these issues in the abstract, but it's recommended to:

• Check/ask your developer whether there might be anything in place regarding your hosting that would prevent MAGgie from accessing your site's WordPress REST API.

• Review your security plugins, possibly disabling any that might prevent external services from sending requests to your site via the REST API.

Some more specific issues that are routinely seen are:

• When I try to integrate, I'm taken to a 404 page This typically happens because MAGgie has guessed at your site's URL structure, and gotten it wrong. This could be because you have a custom /wp-admin/ URL structure in place. It's not currently possible to integrate in these scenarios.

• I see a message about application passwords being disallowed This typically happens because you have a plugin or some other measure in place blocking you from issuing application passwords. To get around this, you'll either have to remove that plugin (usually Wordfence) or configure it to allow application passwords.
