WordPress

The WordPress connector lets Glowtify publish blog articles to a self-hosted WordPress site via the REST API. (WordPress.com hosted sites aren't currently supported — only self-hosted / wordpress.org installations.)

Prerequisites​

  • A self-hosted WordPress site (WordPress.org)
  • The WordPress REST API enabled (it's on by default on recent versions)
  • A user account on WordPress with at least Editor role (to publish articles)
  • An Application Password for that user (generated in WordPress → Users → Profile → Application Passwords)

If your WordPress is running behind a restrictive security plugin (like Wordfence with API blocking), you may need to whitelist the REST API endpoints.

Connecting WordPress​

  1. In your WordPress admin, generate an Application Password for the user Glowtify will publish as
  2. On the Glowtify Connectors page, click Connect WordPress
  3. Paste: site URL + username + application password
  4. Glowtify verifies and connects

How publication works (real scheduling)​

WordPress uses real scheduling. When you publish a blog epic:

  1. Glowtify POSTs the article to /wp-json/wp/v2/posts with your content + scheduledDate + status: future
  2. WordPress handles the publish at the scheduled time

After handoff, the article lives on your WordPress. Edits made directly in WordPress won't sync back to Glowtify.

Common issues​

"Authentication failed"​

The application password is wrong, or the user doesn't have publish permissions. Regenerate the password and make sure the user role is Editor or higher.

"REST API unreachable"​

Your security plugin is blocking the REST API, or your WordPress install doesn't have permalinks configured. Fix permalinks first (Settings → Permalinks → any option except "Plain"), then check your security plugin whitelist.

"Media upload failed"​

Shared hosting sometimes has strict file size limits. If the cover image is large, resize before publishing, or adjust upload_max_filesize in your server config.

Disconnecting​

From the WordPress connector card → menu → Disconnect. Already-scheduled articles stay on WordPress and will publish as planned.
