What you can do once connected
After you connect, ZeroRank can work with your WordPress posts for you. It can do this from a workflow or when you publish content you made in Create content.- Create a post — add a brand-new post to your site.
- Update a post — change a post that is already there.
- List posts — see the posts on your site, including drafts.
- Get a post — pull up one post to read or edit it.
Connect your site
You will need two things: an application password from WordPress and your site URL. An application password is a special extra password just for apps. It is not your normal login password.1
Make an application password in WordPress
Log in to WordPress. Go to Users → Profile, then scroll to Application Passwords. Type a name like
ZeroRank and create one. WordPress shows the password once. Copy it now.2
Open the WordPress integration in ZeroRank
In ZeroRank, go to Settings → Workspace → Integrations → WordPress and click Connect account.

Enter your details
Fill in three fields:
- Username — your WordPress username.
- Application Password — the password you just copied (it looks like
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx). - Site URL — your full site address, like
https://example.com.

Save
Click save. ZeroRank tests the connection right away and tells you if it worked.
ZeroRank signs in using the application password (this is called Basic auth). Your normal login password is never shared.
If the test fails
Most failed tests come from a small typo. Check these two things first:- Site URL — make sure it starts with
https://. The addressexample.comon its own will not work. - Application Password — make sure you copied the whole thing with no extra spaces at the start or end.
