Intro
WordPress is a free and open-source content management system used for website management and blogging. Use Domo's WordPress connector to retrieve data from WordPress.org, such as lists of posts, pages, users, comments, and so on. To learn more about the WordPress API, visit their page (https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_APIs).
Note: This connector is used to retrieve data from WordPress.org not WordPress.com. The essential difference between these is that with WordPress.org, you host your own site, whereas with Wordpress.com, the hosting is done for you. For a more in-depth explanation of these differences, visit https://ithemes.com/tutorials/wordpr...wordpress-org/.
You connect to your WordPress.org account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the WordPress Self-Hosted connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites
To connect to your WordPress.org account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:
-
The host URL of your WordPress blog
-
The username and password for your WordPress site
Connecting to Your WordPress.org Account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the WordPress Self-Hosted Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Credentials Pane
This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your WordPress.org account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Description |
---|---|
Host URL | Enter the host URL of your WordPress.org site. |
Username | Enter the username you use to log into your WordPress admin account. |

Once you have entered valid WordPress.org credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new WordPress Self-Hosted DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
