There are two ways to connect WordPress, depending on where your site lives:
  • Self-hosted site — your WordPress runs on your own hosting (you log in at yoursite.com/wp-admin). Connects with an application password.
  • WordPress.com / Jetpack — your site is hosted on WordPress.com, or it’s self-hosted but connected through the Jetpack plugin. Connects with one click — you’re redirected to WordPress.com to authorize access, no passwords to copy.

Not sure which one you have? If you log in at wordpress.com, pick WordPress.com / Jetpack. If you log in at your own domain’s /wp-admin, pick Self-hosted site.

​
Option A — WordPress.com / Jetpack

1

Open Integrations

In Workspace Settings → Integrations, click Connect on the WordPress card and select the WordPress.com / Jetpack tab.
2

Authorize on WordPress.com

You’re redirected to WordPress.com. Sign in and approve access.
3

Pick your site

If your account has several sites, choose the one Ryze should publish to. Done — no passwords needed.
For Jetpack sites, make sure the Jetpack JSON API module is enabled — Ryze publishes through it. If the connection fails, enable the module in Jetpack settings and reconnect.

​
Option B — Self-hosted site

A self-hosted site connects with an application password — a special key you generate in WordPress that lets Ryze access your site without sharing your real login.

​
Step 1 — Generate an application password

1

Open your profile

In your WordPress admin, go to Users → Profile (or Users → All Users → your user → Edit).
2

Find Application Passwords

Scroll to the bottom of the profile page to the Application Passwords section.
3

Create the password

Enter a name like Ryze, then click Add New Application Password. WordPress shows the generated password once — copy it now.

The application password is shown only once. If you lose it, just generate a new one.

​
Step 2 — Connect in Ryze

In Workspace Settings → Integrations, click Connect on the WordPress card, select the Self-hosted site tab, and fill in:
  • Site URL — your site address, e.g. https://example.com
  • Username — the login you use for /wp-admin
  • Application password — the password you just copied
Click Continue. Ryze verifies the connection.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Credentials rejected (self-hosted) — double-check the username and application password.
  • REST API not found — make sure the WordPress REST API is enabled and the site URL is correct.
  • Jetpack site won’t connect — enable the Jetpack JSON API module, then reconnect.
  • Can’t reach the site — verify the site URL is reachable and uses https://.
