Title: IFTTT WordPress Channel Problems Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # IFTTT WordPress Channel Problems * [arokk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arokk/) * (@arokk) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ifttt-wordpress-channel-problems/) * Hello all, * I have been scouring the boards here looking for answers, and while the question has been asked several times in the past, none of the provided answers seem to work for me. * I have been pulling my hair out trying to make IFTTT work with WordPress. WordPress is installed in my home directory (public_html folder). Each time I try to connect with the WordPress channel, I get one or both of the following errors: - Unable to verify WordPress credentials. Please try again. - Live channel fields value is not a valid WordPress url * I have tried my username and password with the following URLs: - [http://arokk.net](http://arokk.net) - [http://www.arokk.net](http://www.arokk.net) - [http://www.arokk.net/](http://www.arokk.net/) - [http://www.arokk.net/xmlrpc.php](http://www.arokk.net/xmlrpc.php) - [http://arokk.net/xmlrpc.php](http://arokk.net/xmlrpc.php) - [http://www.arokk.net/public_html/xmlrpc.php](http://www.arokk.net/public_html/xmlrpc.php) - [http://arokk.net/public_html/xmlrpc.php](http://arokk.net/public_html/xmlrpc.php) * If anyone has any suggestions on what I am doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m losing hair with every failed attempt. * Thanks in advance.

Very reliable – for almost two years. (aka if news from this site > post on my twitter with added hashtags) * What’s the issue? * Thread Starter [arokk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arokk/) * (@arokk) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ifttt-wordpress-channel-problems/#post-6785746) * 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. * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ifttt-wordpress-channel-problems/#post-6785747) * 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, * [Taipa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taipa/) * (@taipa) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ifttt-wordpress-channel-problems/#post-6785836) * 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? * [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * (@digico-paris) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ifttt-wordpress-channel-problems/#post-6785837) * 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 Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘IFTTT WordPress Channel Problems’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [ifttt](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/ifttt/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 7 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Digico Paris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digico-paris/) * Last activity: [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ifttt-wordpress-channel-problems/#post-6785837) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
