Connect with WordPress Application-Password support
WordPress Application Passwords enable website owners to generate a unique token to authorize a REST API request. Using Application Passwords, you can authorize third-party applications to make REST API requests from your website.
You can connect your WordPress website with the app using Application Password support. To avoid connectivity issues in the future, it is recommended that you establish connectivity on AppMySite using the WordPress Application Password.
The following points highlight how to connect your website and app with WordPress Application Passwords:
Login to your WordPress website’s admin panel.
Navigate to Users >Profile. Scroll down to the Application Passwords section.
Enter a name for your application password and click on Add New Application Password.
Copy your admin account’s username and the newly generated application password.
To achieve connectivity between your website and app, it is mandatory that you have administrator access.
Once you have the application password, return to your AppMySite account and navigate to Connectivity > Grant Acess. Follow the steps below:
Turn on the WordPress toggle on the Grant Access screen.
Paste your website’s administrator username and the application password generated earlier.
Click on Verify. You’ll be redirected to the App Preview screen if the connection is successful. If it is unsuccessful, visit the Troubleshooting screen to diagnose and fix your connectivity issues.
Using an application password to connect your website and app is essential for enabling login and signup support for blog and CMS page website types, supporting custom post taxonomy, and more.
Application Password support is available for AppMySite plugins with code version 3.0.0 and higher. Update your AppMySite plugin to the latest version and use application password support to connect your website and app.
Connect with WooCommerce REST API Keys
You can generate WooCommerce REST API keys and enter them on AppMySite to connect your online store and app. However, it is recommended you establish connectivity using WordPress Application Passwords. Visit this guide to learn more:
Follow the steps below to generate the WooCommerce REST API keys.
Login to the admin panel of your WordPress website.
Click on WooCommerce and open Settings.
Select the Advanced tab in the WooCommerce settings.
Click on REST API. You will have to select the Add key button and fill out the following details:
Description: Enter a friendly name for easy identification.
User: Select the administrator of the website.
Permission: Choose Read/Write from the drop-down menu.
You will find the generated REST API keys. Copy the Consumer key and Consumer secret, return them to your AppMySite account and paste them into the relevant fields.
Your WooCommerce plugin must be updated to its latest version while generating REST API keys. You may not be able to achieve complete connectivity if an older version of the WooCommerce plugin is installed on your website.
