I’m trying to post on wordpress using n8n, I’ve watched some videos, I checked the documentation available for n8n and when generating the app password on wordpress it doesn’t connect to n8n.

What is the error message (if any)?

This password was generated using the wordpress admin user in the app password option.



## Information on your n8n setup
- n8n version: 1.56.2
- Database: (default: SQLite)
- Running n8n: Selfhost
- Operating system:ubuntu-20.04-x86_64

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):

Hi @mmp ,

Taking a look at this!
Seems to be affecting a few people, thanks for bringing it up :raised_hands:

Also, are you using wordpress.com or the self-hosted version?

FYI: on my side; by using an app password
with a WordPress self-hosted it work well.

It seems to work fine for me too (self-hosted). Just making sure: you entered the base url of your WordPress instance - not something like domain.com/wp-admin?

I use a company’s hosting, so I don’t have direct access to the server.

Yes, I inserted it like this: https://mxxxxxxxxxxxo.com/

Hi @mmp ,

The url seems fine. Are you using your login password or an app password?

Here’s how to create an app password, in case you haven’t yet - WordPress credentials | n8n Docs

Are you by any chance using any caching solutions, either inside our outside of WordPress? On my own self-hosted WordPress instance I use W3TC, Varnish and Cloudflare and I could reproduce this issue. By adding some random junk to the URL (like https://site.com?v=12345) I could bypass the caching and succesfully set up the new connection.
