WordPress integration

WordPress.com is a popular content management and website hosting platform. Integrating WordPress with Frontegg allows your application to access and manage WordPress.com sites, posts, pages, media, comments, and taxonomies on behalf of your users through OAuth 2.0 authentication.

Prerequisites

  • A WordPress.com account (free or paid plan)
  • Access to the WordPress.com developer portal

Connect WordPress

Step 1: Open the developer portal

Log in to your WordPress.com account. Navigate to the WordPress.com Developer Apps page.

On the My Applications page, click the Create New Application link.

On the Create an application page, fill in the following fields:

  • Name -- Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "Frontegg Integration")
  • Description -- Enter a brief description of the integration
  • Website URL -- Enter your application URL
  • Redirect URLs -- Enter the Frontegg callback URL:
https://YOUR_MCP_GATEWAY_URL/integration-callback
  • Type -- Select Web

Answer the simple math captcha question, then click Create.

Step 4: Copy credentials

Navigate to the application overview page by clicking the application name link. In the OAuth Information section, you can find:

  • Client ID -- Copy this value
  • Client Secret -- Copy this value

The page also displays the OAuth endpoint URLs for reference:

  • Request token URL -- https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/token
  • Authorize URL -- https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/authorize

Keep your credentials secure

Never share or commit your Client Secret to version control. If the secret is compromised, click Reset Key to generate a new one.

Scopes

WordPress.com OAuth uses a single global scope that grants access to all user sites and blogs. No additional scope configuration is required.

  1. Open the Frontegg portal and navigate to [ENVIRONMENT] → Integrations → WordPress.
  2. Enter the Client ID and Client Secret in the corresponding fields.
  3. Select the required scopes.
