1. General Information
WordPress is a free, open-source content management system (CMS) that makes it easy to build and manage websites. It started as a blogging platform in 2003 but has grown into the most widely used website tool in the world. With WordPress, you can create anything from personal blogs and portfolios to business sites and online stores—without needing advanced coding skills. It works through customizable themes and plugins, giving both beginners and developers flexibility to design and extend websites to fit their needs
2. Connect WordPress to OneTeg
Begin by logging into the WordPress administration page at:
https://your-wordpress-site.com/wp-admin/index.php
WordPress offers a comprehensive set of APIs to facilitate interaction with its content management system. It employs HTTP Basic authentication to validate incoming requests. To utilize WordPress APIs for content management using OneTeg, it is necessary to generate a dedicated password for the user via the administrative portal. This password is exclusively designated for managing content through the APIs.
Password Creation
To establish a password for the user, navigate to the Profile section within the Users tab located in the primary navigation menu of the administrative portal. Scroll down to locate the "Application Password" option.
Assign a name to the password and select the Add New Application Password button to generate a new password for request authentication. This password facilitates basic authentication when transmitting requests to WordPress via OneTeg.
