How do I connect WordPress to codus?

Open Integrations in settings, find the WordPress card under Hosting + deployment, and fill in three boxes: your site address, your WordPress username, and an application password you create in your WordPress admin. Then click Connect. Once connected, codus can work straight in your CMS: read, create, and edit posts and pages, manage categories and tags, and prepare content as drafts for your review. It creates content as drafts unless you tell it to publish.

Before you start

• Your site needs WordPress 5.6 or newer and must be served over HTTPS. Application passwords are a built-in WordPress feature, but they only work on a secure site.
• You need an admin or author account on the site.
• An application password is different from your normal login password. You create a separate one for codus, and you can revoke it later without changing your real password.

Steps

1. In your browser, sign in to your WordPress admin and open Users → Profile. Scroll to Application Passwords.
2. Type a name like codus and create the password. WordPress shows it only once, so copy it straight away.
3. Come back to codus. Open the gear (⚙), click See all settings →, then click Integrations, and find the WordPress card.
4. In the first box, enter your site address, for example https://example.com.
5. In the second box, enter your WordPress username.
6. In the third box, paste the application password you copied.
7. Click Connect.

How do I know it worked?

The card shows a green Connected label with your username and site, for example "Connected · yourname · example.com". codus validated the three details against your site, so this confirms it can reach WordPress as you.

Common problems

• Connect failed and my site is on http. Application passwords require HTTPS. Move the site to HTTPS, or the feature stays disabled in WordPress.
• The password did not work. Application passwords are shown once. If you lost it or typed it wrong, create a fresh one in Users → Profile → Application Passwords and paste that. Use the application password, not your normal login password.
• The site address was rejected. Enter the full address including https://, for example https://example.com.
• I want to cut codus off fast. Revoke the application password in your WordPress admin. That instantly stops codus reaching your site. You can also click Disconnect on the card and confirm.
