IFTTT denied?

You don’t have your install in a subdirectory running from root, do you? That was my problem – had to include the directory to make it work

eeks-not sure i understand(sorry)–i have all my wp installed in a folder on my own web site (i.e.: myurl.com/wp)

And do you visit myurl.com/wp to see your website, or just myurl.com ??

myurl.com/wp

Ah ok. Nope, you’re problem is not the same one I had, sorry I can help!

This combination worked for me:

First:
Find out the “real” URL of your self-hosted WordPress installation (ie. the FTP folder).
Example: my WordPress blogs is “https://blog.myhomepage.com/login.php”
But the FTP folder is “https://www.myhomepage.com/Wordpress_01/login.php”
So you need to find your real URL.

Second:
When you activate the WordPress channel in IFTTT, be sure to point it to
URL_to_your_Wordpress/xmlrpc.php NOT to URL_to_your_Wordpress/login.php
Example:
put something like this in the URL field when activating the IFTTT wordpress channel: “https://www.myhomepage.com/Wordpress_01/xmlrpc.php”
Then IFTTT should connect to your WordPress.

Problems with IFTTT?

I had to disable two-phase authentication to get IFTTT to work.
Also, I bad to use the internal name of myblog.wordpress.com instead of https://www.myblog.com

Does that help?
