Hi @profezor 

Good question.

You can try using a new/different private browser to make the app connection to WordPress.

Hi there @callen,

Could you please confirm that the Zapier WordPress plugin is installed on your website and that you have admin permissions on your WordPress account? This is required to connect WordPress to your Zapier account.

I also checked our notes and found a similar issue with another user. They discovered the hosting provider was blocking traffic from Amazon AWS, which Zapier uses. Some changes in the firewall on their end did the trick.

Also, here are a few other things to remember: 

  1. Make sure to reconnect the account and make sure to include the www part of the URL
  2. If that doesn't work, the next step would be to temporarily deactivate any security plugins that could interfere with us trying to connect.
  3. Also, is it possible to check to ensure that the WordPress Plugin is activated in the Plugin Dashboard? https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496101767309

Please keep us posted!

Thanks.  It works with the first suggestion

  1. Make sure to reconnect the account and make sure to include the www part of the URL

But I think you should clarify in the instructions box for connect to wordpress, because there, it did not use www 

Again, thanks for the support

Hi @Christoph Tischler, so sorry we missed your replies here! 

I did some digging and found another solution reported which I’ll share details of here:

if you have your website setup to rewrite URLs by adding an ending slash be sure to add an exception for /wp-json/zapier/v1/token to your .htaccess file. E.g.:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-json/zapier/v1/token$
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [L,R]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>```


If that doesn’t work either then it might be best to reach out to our Support team for further assistance. They’ll be able to dig into the error logs for your account to better determine what’s causing these issues and help to get things up and running. You can do that here: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

Please do keep us updated on how you get on, keen to ensure you’re all set! 🙂
