I am new to Zapier and creaing a Zap.  When I try to connect my Wordpress account, I enter the custom URL without the /wp-admin/ or wp-login.php portion.  I use https://example.com instead of https://example.com/login as the Base URL value.

 

I enter the full email address as user name (is also my ID) and password.  I get a simple error:

 

We hit an error adding your new account

authentication failed: 

  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

 

I tried checking older questions and no luck.  I enabled pop-ups in the browser, but I have no idea where this permission pop-up woud even show.  I disabled nearly every WordPress plug-in except those needed for pages to function, like Elementor.  I am using SiteGround as hosting provider.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

I have fixed it. I literally disabled all plugins, and it worked.


Thanks for circling back in here to share how you fixed it, ​@mircaswik. Nice work! 🙌

Were you able to identify which plugin it was that was blocking Zapier’s access, was it the Elementor plugin? It would be helpful to know for others that come across this thread in the future.

Looking forward to hearing from you! 🙂
