How To Connect WordPress.com To YACSS
WordPress.com uses OAuth to grant third-party access. By creating a WordPress.com Developer App and linking it to YACSS, you can publish content directly to your WordPress site from within your workflows.
Open OAuth Connectivity
In YACSS, navigate to OAuth Connectivity → WordPress from the sidebar to open the WordPress Connectivity page.
Add New WordPress Account
Click Add New and select Type: WordPress (wordpress.com). You will need the following to complete the form:
- Name — Any name you want to identify this connection
- Site URL — Your main WordPress domain URL
- Client ID — Retrieved from the WordPress Developer Portal
- Client Key — Retrieved from the WordPress Developer Portal
We will retrieve the Client ID and Client Key in the steps below. Leave the form open and log in to wordpress.com in another tab.
Open WordPress Developer Portal
Once logged in to WordPress.com, navigate to the Developer Apps page and click Create New Application.
developer.wordpress.com/apps
Fill In App Details & Create
Fill in the application form with a Name, Description, and Website URL. In the Redirect URLs field, add the URL below. Set Type to Web, then click Create.
https://app.yacss.site/user/wordpress-redirect.php
Open Your App
Once the app is created you will see a confirmation screen. Click the app name link next to the "Editing" text to open the app's OAuth information page.
Copy Client ID & Client Secret
On the app page, scroll down to the OAuth Information section. Copy both the Client ID and Client Secret — you will paste these into YACSS in the next step.
Paste Into YACSS & Authorize
Return to YACSS. Fill in the WordPress Account form with your Name, Site URL, Client ID and Client Key, then click Save. You will be redirected to WordPress.com to authorize — click Authorize and your connection will be active.
