Connection errors, Application Passwords, REST API and fixes.
Something not connecting? Post it here. This category covers the common snags when linking WordPress to an AI client: Application Password problems, REST API being blocked by a security plugin or host, connection errors in Claude Desktop or ChatGPT, and permission or capability messages when the AI tries to write. Search first - your issue may already be solved - then start a thread with your error text and we will help.
Write actions need a paid MCP plan; the free plan can draft and read. If you are on a paid plan, check that your connected WordPress user has the right role.
Ask your host to allow /wp-json/ or whitelist wptaskify. Some security plugins also block REST - add an exception for the wptaskify endpoints.
