Connect your WordPress site

How the WordPress connection, SSO key, and optional plugin work in HarperFlow.

July 26, 2026

HarperFlow's WordPress integration publishes straight into your theme. A new post renders natively the moment it's live, with no page-design step.

Note: WordPress isn't currently offered in self-serve setup; it doesn't appear as a pickable option in the platform picker. This guide describes how the connection works. If you'd like to publish to WordPress, contact HarperFlow support.

Prerequisites

Your site must be served over HTTPS, since Application Passwords, the credential type HarperFlow uses, require it. You'll also need an Administrator or Editor account.

Connect your site

  1. In WordPress, go to Users → Profile → Application Passwords, name one "HarperFlow," and generate it. Copy the whole password, including the spaces.
  2. In HarperFlow's Connect step, enter your site URL, your WordPress username (your login, not your display name), and the Application Password you just generated.
  3. Submit to connect.

One more step: the SSO key

Right after connecting, HarperFlow shows a one-time SSO key. Copy it and paste it into your site at wp-admin → HarperFlow → SSO key → Save. This key lets HarperFlow publish fully-styled articles and enables one-click sign-in from your WordPress admin, and it's shown to you only once, so save it before continuing.

Choose where articles go

Pick a dedicated HarperFlow category (recommended: a clean, filterable home with its own theme-native archive page) or publish into a category you already use.

The optional plugin

The free HarperFlow plugin adds SEO titles and descriptions (working with Yoast or RankMath where installed) plus styled FAQ and TL;DR sections. Articles publish either way; installing it is a pure enhancement, not a requirement.

Verify your first draft

After finishing setup or triggering an on-demand run, check Posts in your WordPress admin, filtered to your chosen category, for the new draft or scheduled post.
