After digging deeper into related posts, I found that another person had success by using a new IFTTT account, so I tried it out, but it didn’t work, either.
Hi Arokk,
How do you use IFTTT?
Personally I plug some XML feeds from it (from WordPress blogs too), but never from my site. Very reliable – for almost two years.
(aka if news from this site > post on my twitter with added hashtags)
What’s the issue?

I wanted to use IFTTT to auto-post my blog entries on my Facebook, Twitter, etc. pages. There are WordPress extensions that do this, but Facebook and others can detect this automatic posting strategy and give said posts lower priority. IFTTT doesn’t appear to be affected by this at present.
Ok again Arokk,
Sure they do, to prevent a bunch of botters to fench in the hole.
As your use case, all is ok if you write your own genuine content, just make sure your posts are well credited to you and posted decently by IFTTT.
These times I use IFTTT with BufferApp, they seem to work quite ok together too. You may try that if posting raw to IFTTT doens’t work as intended, try to post from Buffer (it’s free too, and nice app), then > post to ifttt, then call actions from ifttt. But it’s a huge API anyways so, you could post to them from (almost) anything.
Again, if you can export to XML it’s easier for IFFTTT to understand and pull stuff from it; some actions doesn’t work well for now because their script don’t catch what it is about (yet, but it will be – it’s a very promising startup with geniouses people I think).
Hope it helps,
I’m having the same troubles, Arokk. No matter what I do, I get the “Unable to verify WordPress credentials. Please try again.” error. I have created a new IFTTT account, I have made sure my XML is active, etc. Nothing!
Did you ever find a solution?
Hello, no problem to export the feed to IFFTT, at worst i even found a plug solution:
1) pull your WP feed to feedburner
2) call your feedburner xml feed to IFTTT
All recipes work, I might add that if IFTTT can’t catch them at a very fast rate, it tends to drop your standard yoursite.com/feed , whereas feedburner makes a little free cache of it making it easier to grab for IFTTT
