# Connect WordPress

> Publish TPC drafts to WordPress using the TPC connector plugin

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:

```text theme={null}
https://r2-assets.promptingco.com/tpc-wordpress-connector.php.zip
```

2. In WordPress admin, go to **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**.
3. Upload `tpc-wordpress-connector.php.zip` and click **Install Now**.
4. 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.

<Warning>
  If you lose the token, generate a new one — the old token stops working as soon as a new one is generated.
</Warning>

## 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.
