Nothing happens when I try to connect my website

If nothing happens when you try to connect your website there are a couple of reasons for that.

1. SSL

You don’t have SSL enabled or your WordPress blog is not set to work on SSL in the Options-General Settings area.

2. Permalinks

Your permalinks are not set correctly.

3. Security plugins

You have a security plugin that blocks DocPress access to your site.

WordFence

If you have WordFence installed please go to WordFence-> Firewall, scroll to the Disable WordPress application password option and uncheck it. Save the settings and try to connect again.

wordfence connection docpress

Now the popup for connecting your Google account to your site will work.

All In One WP Security

Go to WP Security -> User Login -> Additional Settings

Make sure the the Application Password is disabled.

Other security plugins

Usually the culprit is the Application Password that is disabled, please find this setting in the plugin options.

If your WP-Admin is redirected please see here.

2FA

If you log in with two factor authentication please create a new user with editor or author permissions without 2FA to use with DocPress.
