# Connect self-hosted WordPress with an application password

`POST /v1/messaging/connect/wordpress/token`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://apihub.co.il`
- URL: `https://apihub.co.il/v1/messaging/connect/wordpress/token`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Connects one self-hosted WordPress site using a WordPress username and
application password. `siteUrl` must use HTTPS and may include the path
where WordPress is installed. Zernio discovers the REST API, verifies
the credentials and required post/media/taxonomy capabilities, then
stores the password encrypted. Create an application password in the
WordPress user's profile; do not send the user's login password.
Reconnecting the same site and profile updates the connection in place.
