The Prompting Company publishes drafts to WordPress via a small connector plugin that exposes a token-authenticated endpoint. This works for self-hosted WordPress and WordPress.com Business or higher (plans that allow custom plugins).

Before you start

  • Admin access to your WordPress site.
  • Ability to upload and activate plugins.

Install the connector

  1. Download the connector plugin:
https://r2-assets.promptingco.com/tpc-wordpress-connector.php.zip
  1. In WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  2. Upload tpc-wordpress-connector.php.zip and click Install Now.
  3. Click Activate. A new menu item Settings → TPC Connector appears.

Generate a connector token

  1. Open Settings → TPC Connector.
  2. Click Generate Token.
  3. Copy the token immediately. The token is shown only once.
If you lose the token, generate a new one — the old token stops working as soon as a new one is generated.

Connect in TPC

  1. In your TPC product workspace, open Settings → Integrations.
  2. Select WordPress.
  3. Enter:
    • Site URL — your WordPress site root, e.g. https://blog.example.com
    • Connector token — the token you copied above
  4. Click Save and then Test connection.

Troubleshooting

Test connection fails with 401

The token in TPC does not match the token in WordPress. Regenerate the token in Settings → TPC Connector and paste the new value into TPC.

Test connection fails with 404

The plugin is not activated, or the site URL is wrong. Confirm the plugin appears in Plugins → Installed Plugins as active, and that the site URL has no trailing path.

Draft appears but images are broken

WordPress uploads require the connector to reach your media library. Check that the WordPress site is publicly reachable — TPC uploads images by URL, not by binary transfer.
