🔗 Why connect Wisewand to WordPress?
To publish your articles directly from Wisewand to your WordPress site, you first need to create a connection between the two platforms. This connection is secure and uses an application password — meaning the Wisewand team will never have access to your site or your main password. 🔒
🧩 Before you start
Make sure you have access to:
Your Wisewand dashboard
Your WordPress site URL
Login credentials for a WordPress user account (ideally a dedicated account for Wisewand)
💡 Tip: We recommend using a custom username instead of “WiseWand” for your WordPress account, since your articles will be published under that author name.

👤 Step 2 — Enter your WordPress username
In the Username field:
