Hi @brianmcgui 

I'm going to flag this post for the Zapier Community Team. They should have more insight on this and can escalate to the support team if needed.

Sit tight, and someone will contact you soon.

Hi @brianmcgui!

 

Connecting to WordPress can be tricky as there are so many layers of permissions and protections. 

 

The first thing to do is to check the section of our Word Press help doc that gives you some things to try if your having trouble connecting to WordPress: Common Problems with WordPress

 

If you’ve tried all of those and are still running into errors, the best thing to do is to get in touch with the Support Team as they’ll be able to take a closer look at the Zap with you. You can contact them using the Get Help form
