## Description

**Novellaire Connect** is the companion plugin for the Novellaire e-reader and editor
app. Install it on your WordPress site so the app can publish your EPUB books and
chapters straight to your site as draft or published posts.

Many modern hosts and security setups quietly block the WordPress feature the app
relies on (Application Passwords). This plugin fixes the two most common blockers
so the connection “just works”:

 * **Re-enables Application Passwords** when a CDN/proxy (such as Cloudflare) makes
   WordPress think the site is not on HTTPS, or when a security plugin has switched
   the feature off.
 * **Rebuilds the Authorization header** that some servers (LiteSpeed, CGI/FastCGI,
   or reverse proxies) strip before it reaches PHP — the usual cause of a valid 
   Application Password being rejected as “not logged in.”

Your normal login password is never used or exposed. The app authenticates with 
a WordPress Application Password that you create and can revoke at any time.

This plugin is intended for sites served over HTTPS (which is virtually all sites
today).

## Installation

 1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to **Plugins → Add New Plugin**.
 2. Search for **Novellaire Connect**, click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
     (
    Or upload the plugin ZIP via **Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin**.)
 3. Go to **Users → Profile**, scroll to **Application Passwords**, and create one 
    named “Novellaire”.
 4. In the Novellaire app, open **Tools → Export to WordPress**, enter your site address,
    your WordPress username (or account email), and paste the Application Password.
 5. Tap **Test** to confirm the connection, then **Publish**.

## FAQ

### Is this secure?

Yes. Your login password is never sent. The app uses a WordPress Application Password—
a separate, app-specific credential you can delete at any time from Users → Profile.
The connection travels over your site’s HTTPS.

### Do I need this plugin?

Only if your site blocks Application Passwords (common with Cloudflare or security
plugins) or your server strips the Authorization header. On a default WordPress 
site the app may connect without it, but this plugin makes the connection reliable.

### Does it change my site’s content or design?

No. It only affects how the site authenticates API requests. It adds nothing to 
your pages, posts, or theme.
