Unable to use Zapier to my WordPress Dashboard

I have been trying for over a week to get Zapier to appear on my wordpress dashboard. I even created a new, clean of all other plugins, test site. It still did not appear. Lots of searching on Youtube got me no further forward…………… If I cannot get the free version to show then there is no way I would pay for the pro version.

Wordpress - This account is expired. Please reconnect it here.

I signed up to Zapier a little over a month ago and during the 30-day free trial everything worked well. About a week after the trial ended and I was using the free plan, my three Zaps from Wordpress to Facebook, Twitter andLinkedIn stopped working and I got a message that said the Wordpress account expired and had to be reconnected. I was presented with this screen: This integration uses the WordPress REST API and requires that the Zapier plugin be installed and activated on your WordPress site for authentication. Before you proceed, please install and activate the plugin. Base URL Enter your full publicly accessible WordPress URL (with leading http:// or https://). Do not include /wp-admin/ or wp-login.php.

Wordpress "The Zapier WordPress plugin has not been activated on this WordPress site" errors despite being activated

Hi, We are using Zapier to send notifications to our internal Slack whenever someone posts or modifies content on our Wordpress website. However, whenever we post updated content, we get the following error messages from Zapier. “Error while hydrating data from WordPress: The Zapier WordPress plugin has not been activated on this WordPress site. Please install and activate it first: https://zapier.com/help/doc/how-get-started-wordpress-zapier.” The Zapier plug-in is activated, and we are seeing the content updates in Slack, but any new content that we post to the website is also generating this error. I’ve searched around quite a bit and can’t seem to find a fix. The Zapier plug-in is installed and activated (version 1.5.1). We are on version 6.6 of Wordpress (upgrading to 6.7 this week). We do use Wordfence on the site and I’ve seen that this could cause problems, but I can’t seem to find a fix for that either.

Hello, I made a change to one of my integrations and had to update my WP connection from legacy to the new one, but I cannot get this to work.

Hi there, I am trying to create a zap between Square and Wordpress, however the wordpress activation in Zapier is not working - it is saying the Zapier Wordpress plugin has not been activated even though it definitely has. I have deactived a security plugin and I can’t see any reason why it would be showing this, Any tips? I have not been show an “Allow” or “Accept” permission popup - where would this normally show? Or is the Zapier Wordpress Integration not functional at the moment? Thank you.

Problem using Wordpress plugin: The Zapier WordPress plugin has not been activated on this WordPress site

Hello ! I searched through other topics but did not find any answer to the problem I am facing. I try to use a Wordpress trigger that would trigger when a post is updated. The connection with Wordpress works perfectly: But whenever I try to test the trigger, I get the following error: Furthermore, this error only happens when I select specific `post_type`. For some other `post_type`, everything works. Here are the settings for which it does not work: Of course, the plugin Zapier is installed and active on my WordPress. Do you have any idea where the issue might come from ? Could this be a conflict with other plugins I have active on my wordpress? I am using plugin WooCommerce of WordPress (This is what generates the posts). Thanks !

Creating WordPress Custom Posts from Zapier

I have the Zapier for WordPress plugin installed and activated. I have a custom post type and I need to be able to add a post from Zapier. When setting up the action, I can see the custom post type in the list, select it but it doesn’t fetch the custom fields. If I select a regular post, it does fetch the fields correctly so that functionality is working. I’m just at a loss as to how to get it to fetch the custom fields from a CPT. I’ve tried every setting for the CPT I can think of but, nothing works. Any help or suggestions gratefully received!

WordPress error 401: Authentication failed error, citing that my password does not match my username/ email address.

Hi, I am having some trouble trying to connect my WordPress account with Zapier. I keep receiving a 401:Euthetnication failed error, citing that my password does not match my username/ email address. I know that they do, having logged in and out multiple times on both Zapier and WordPress. I have the Zapier plugin installed and activated on WordPress too. I have tried changing security settings on WordPress to allow brute force logins externally, thinking this may help, and it hasn’t. I have also created a separate WP account for Zapier and invited them to my team as admin, and that email/ username still gives the same error. I am stumped and slightly frustrated! Any ideas?

Yes Common Problems with WordPress WordPress settings that may affect your connection to Zapier As WordPress is highly customizable, depending on how your WordPress account is set up, this may impact how you use Zapier with WordPress. Plugins Certain plugins may interfere and block Zapier’s attempts to connect to WordPress, causing various errors. Here are some plugins known to potentially cause errors – however, it’s not an exhaustive list: Jetpack WordFence Security iTheme Security WP Rocket JWT Authentication WP-Content Copy Protection & No Right Click Limit Login Attempts Reloaded SiteGuard WP Plugin IP Geo Block WPS Hide Login reCaptcha by BestWebSoft ProfileBuilder If you are getting errors and know you have plugins installed, Zapier recommends the following steps: Adjust your plugin settings. Depending on the plugin you are using, you may have settings to allow access to Zapier. This may look like adding Zapier to an allowed list. Learn more about can’t access or use Zapier with other apps. If after adjusting your plugin settings, that doesn’t resolve the issue, try disabling the plugin. If you have multiple plugins, you may need to do this one at a time to isolate which is causing this issue. Cloudflare If you use Cloudflare, you may need to create an allowlist rule to allow requests from Zapier. You can do this by creating a firewall rule to allow requests with a specific user-agent. Firewall or hosting provider Firewall or hosting provider settings may block traffic from Zapier, leading to errors. To resolve this, add Zapier to your allowed list. Site SSL certificate If your WordPress site’s SSL certificate expires, it can cause issues. To check your website, you can use this tool at https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html. Permalink structure The default “plain” permalink structure (e.g. https://yourwebsite/com/p=123) in WordPress can cause authentication issues. Try switching to an alternative structure such as “post name” to resolve this issue.
