Connect

Connect self-hosted WordPress with an application password

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.
Create an application password in the WordPress user's profile; do not send the user's login password.

Zernio discovers the REST API, verifies the credentials and required post/media/taxonomy capabilities, then stores the password encrypted.

Reconnecting the same site and profile updates the connection in place.
