WordPress Connection Troubleshooting for WP AI Writer

A quick guide to solving the most common issues regarding connection to WordPress website.

1: Credentials & Application Password

1. Verify that you entered the right website address and username
2. Verify that you entered the right Application Password, not your classic login password. Here’s a guide to set up an Application Password for WordPress if you haven’t done it yet.

2: Htaccess issue

In some cases, the Htaccess file prevents the connection from third parties, like WP AI Writer. This can notably happen when your WordPress website uses security plugins or other plugin that alter the htaccess file.

In that case, you will need to add the following lines to your WordPress site’s htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.)

RewriteRule ^(.) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
