Intro
WordPress is a blog web hosting service provider used by more than 40% of Internet bloggers. Use Domo's WordPress connector to retrieve data on blog posts, comments, likes, followers, and more. To learn more about the WordPress API, visit their page (https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/).
Note: This connector is used to retrieve data from WordPress.com, not WordPress.org. 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/wordpress-com-vs-wordpress-org/.
You connect to your WordPress account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the WordPress connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Connector.
Prerequisites
To connect to your WordPress account and create a DataSet, you must have the username and password you use to log into WordPress. Alternatively, you can login using your Google or Apple credentials.
Connecting to Your WordPress Account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the WordPress 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 Connector.
Credentials Pane
The Domo WordPress connector uses OAuth to connect, so there is no need to enter credentials within Domo. Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing WordPress accounts in Domo) to open the WordPress OAuth screen where you can enter your WordPress credentials. Once you have entered valid WordPress credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new WordPress 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.
Details Pane
This pane contains a primary Metrics menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the metric type you select.
