Integration
Connect WordPress.com to Blog Automation
For blogs hosted on WordPress.com - including the free and Personal plans without plugins. Articles appear as posts with title, text, featured image, categories, tags, excerpt and SEO description.
What you need for WordPress.com
- A blog on WordPress.com and the account that owns it (or an account with the "Editor" or "Administrator" role).
Step by step: connect WordPress.com
- In Blog Automation: Websites & blogs → Connect website → WordPress.com.
- Click Connect with WordPress.com, sign in and pick the blog Blog Automation may publish to.
- Back in Blog Automation choose status, default category and language, then click Save blog.
- Only if the page asks for a Client ID and Client Secret instead: create your own app at developer.wordpress.com/apps via Create New Application (type "Web", copy the redirect URL from the page) and enter the two values.
Where do I find what in WordPress.com?
| Field in Blog Automation | Where to find it in WordPress.com |
|---|---|
| Client ID | Own app only: developer.wordpress.com/apps → your app. Digits only. |
| Client Secret | Own app only: developer.wordpress.com/apps → your app. |
What is transferred to WordPress.com?
Title → title, slug → URL (on creation only), article text → content, summary → excerpt, cover image → featured image (uploaded to the media library), category and tags → existing categories of the blog, all others as tags, meta description → SEO description (Jetpack).
Tips for WordPress.com
- The approval always covers just the one blog you picked. Connect further blogs one by one.
- WordPress.com sites on the Business plan with plugins can also be connected like a normal WordPress site.
Good to know about WordPress.com
- Reconnecting only accepts the same blog as before.
- The meta description only shows if your plan supports SEO settings.
