Connecting IFTTT to self-hosted WordPress site

Hello Everyone! I have seen some closed threads on this topic and have already tried all of the suggestions in those threads, but I am still having a problem.

I have a WordPress.org site hosted on a 3rd party site (DotEasy) and I am trying to connect to IFTTT.

My site’s home page displays all ‘posts’ so I am entering that as my blog url: “mywebsitename.com”. I have tried including “http://” “www” “mywebsitename.com/wp-admin” etc etc.

I continue to receive the errors:

• Live channel fields value is not a valid WordPress url
• Unable to verify WordPress credentials. Please try again.
• Blog URL is not a valid WordPress url

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I’m sure I am overlooking something. Thank you!!
