Hi @clickclickclick 

The error message that you’re seeing doesn’t match what we’d see if the WordPress connection is affected by the issue reported here. It can be tricky to connect Zapier to WordPress as there are different factors that affect the connection. 

Take a look at these help guides as there may be something that will fix the connection:

How to get started with WordPress on Zapier

Common problems with WordPress

 

You are also listed as an affected user on the issue that gives the error message:

We hit an error adding your new account

authentication failed: Error parsing response. We got: "<!DOCTYPE html> <html style="height:100%"> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,"

  1. Make sure you click "Allow" or "Accept" on the permission popup
  2. Double check your Account has the correct permissions
  3. Check out our help docs for more information

 

And we will send you an email when that’s resolved.

Please add me to this group as an impacted user. Note I am adding this to a fresh 5.6 Wordpress without any plugins and the error still appears.

Hi@rohan!

Connecting to WordPress can be tricky as there are lots of different factors that can affect the connection. 

The first thing to do is to check out the Help Docs for WordPress:

If the suggestions there don’t help, please get in touch with the Zapier Support Team as they will be able to take a closer look with you. You can do that using the Get Help form: https://zapier.com/app/get-help
