Wordpress Connection Not Working: Couldn’t connect with these settings > Service Temporarily Unavailable

[Tin_Man]

Describe the problem/error/question

I get this message when I tried to add my Wordpress credentials:

" Couldn’t connect with these settings

Service Temporarily Unavailable"

I use the “Ask Assisitant” chatbot and it keeps on telling me that it is and issue with Wordpress server/host but I used the same credentials for my Zapier connection and it works.

I’m using the Applications Password as instructed as well .

Any idea on how to fix?

Information on your n8n setup

• **n8n version: 1.91.3 **
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via n8n cloud

Hi Tin_Man welcome to n8n community

Have you try toggle off this option?

If it’s still not working, try using those credentials that are giving you an error to make a GET request. Someone else seems to have encountered this as a bug, especially since you said it works in Zapier.

Hi TriDi,

Yes I tried it with toggle Off and still It still doesn’t work.

thanks,
Tim

I believe you need to use the email account on Wordpress

Actually, you also need to use a service password, I think you said you used.

Maybe n8n is blocking it ure in the n8n cloud? Have you tried locally on localhost? Still same?

[Tin_Man]

What is the Service password? I think you mean the application password? We already paid for N8M cloud so we prefer to integrate it it in the cloud for now.

Hi just confirm i already tried on n8n cloud and there is no problem so maybe its because some plugin on your site blocks authentication try to find out like security plugin or deactive cache plugin

I checked the Basic Auth with online 3rd party tool and it works as well. Authentication works for Zapier and it works for REQBIN so why wouldn’t it work for N8N?

I get a 503 error but when I visit the website, it’s fine. So authentication work but someone N8N gets 503 error.
