Connect WordPress to GeoCopy

GeoCopy publishes to your WordPress blog using the REST API. We support WordPress.com sites and self-hosted WordPress on your own hosting (SiteGround, WP Engine, Cloudways, etc.).

Before you start

You need permission to approve apps or application access on the site.
Self-hosted sites should run WordPress 6.2+ with Application Passwords enabled (most hosts leave this on).
After connecting, set a default category in GeoCopy site settings — WordPress requires one to publish.

Connect in GeoCopy

Open Portal → Integrations → WordPress and click Connect.
Enter your site URL (e.g. https://blog.yoursite.com or https://yoursite.wordpress.com).
GeoCopy detects your hosting type and shows the right connect button:
- WordPress.com — click Connect WordPress.com, sign in to WordPress.com if prompted, then choose which site to publish to.
- Self-hosted — click Connect with WordPress, sign in to wp-admin if prompted, then click Approve.
When the integration card shows Connected, open Settings and pick a default category (and author if you use one).

WordPress.com vs self-hosted

Your site	What you click
`*.wordpress.com` or a custom domain on WordPress.com	Connect WordPress.com
Your own domain on a web host (not WordPress.com)	Connect with WordPress

Manual setup (self-hosted only)

If one-click connect is blocked by your host, expand Enter Application Password manually in the connect dialog. Create an Application Password in wp-admin — do not use your login password.

In WordPress: Users → Profile → Application Passwords
Name it GeoCopy and click Add Application Password
Copy the password immediately (WordPress only shows it once)
In GeoCopy, paste your site URL, username, and Application Password, then connect

WordPress Application Passwords section with name field filled in — Application Passwords under Users → Profile

Revoke access

GeoCopy: Integrations → WordPress → Disconnect
Self-hosted WordPress: Users → Profile → Application Passwords → Revoke next to GeoCopy
WordPress.com: WordPress.com account → Security → Connected applications

Troubleshooting

Wrong hosting detected: Use the exact public URL of your blog. WordPress.com sites must be on WordPress.com hosting, not a self-hosted install on the same domain.
401 / connection failed (self-hosted): Use an Application Password, not your wp-admin login password.
No Application Passwords section: Update to WordPress 6.2+ or ask your host to enable Application Passwords.
Publishing fails: Set a default category in GeoCopy site settings.
WordPress.com site list empty: Disconnect and connect again, making sure you approve access for the WordPress.com account that owns the site.
