What is up party people? In this quick video, I'm going to show you how to connect WordPress with NADN. So, let's get started. Now, the first thing that we're going to do over here is we're just obviously going to open up a WordPress trigger. So, click on add first step, type in WordPress, and then once we do that, we're going to get a lot of different actions. So, you can automate, you know, creating a post, creating a page, getting a user, and so on and so forth. I'll just stick with something very basic and click on create a post. Now, once we uh select that uh trigger, you're going to see right here that this is now going to ask us for
some credentials. So, I'll click on create new credentials. And now, it's going to ask us for a username and a password and a URL. Now, this is not the typical like, you know, login credentials that you use with WordPress. So, let me walk you through how to get these credentials. So, the first thing that we're going to do is go to our dashboard. Next, we're going to scroll down over here under users and click on all users. So, this right here is the username. So, I'm going to copy this. Okay, go back to end and we're going to paste in that username. Now, we need a password. Now,
in order to get this, we need to actually create an application password. Now, I did run into a really funny bug that I'll talk more about in just a second, but let me show you where we can get this information. So, we're going to scroll down here and we're going to keep scrolling and once we keep scrolling, you're going to see application passwords. Now, here you'll just put in a name. So, I'll just put in N8 and click on add application password. And here is the application password we need. So, I'll go back over here and we're going to paste that in. We also
want to take this URL, copy this, and also paste it in over here. Now, there is a very common error where this does not display. So, if you do not see application passwords, do not worry. If you go to plugins and click on install plugins, make sure that you deactivate all of the hosting or plugins. And also sometimes the light speeded cache can also conflict. So if that did not come up for you, make sure that you deactivate plugins. And uh I don't know why that exists, but there is a bug with
the hosting or plugins where uh if you have them installed that does not display for some unknown reason. Well, that's what I found. But uh once we actually go ahead and do that, we can go ahead and save this. So here I'll click on save and now you're going to see that this is successful and the connection tested successfully. So now we know that it's connected. Now if you want to learn more about automation me and my team have put together a school where we are running a entire school on nitn where it teaches you the fundamentals and everything you need to know about nitn. If you do want to access that school
I'll put that in the video description. With that said let me know if you have any questions. Good luck on your end journey and I'll see you all, How to Connect WordPress With N8N, YouTube, 01k9spfjkceqytf1ar0h5begg0.
