Publishing Profile Dashboard

Welcome, ! Manage your WordPress publishing configurations.

What is a Publishing Profile?
User Profile contains your personal account information and notification preferences.
Publishing Profiles are used to configure and automate publishing to your connected websites (e.g., WordPress blogs). Each publishing profile stores the settings, writers, and sections for a specific destination site.
Tip: You can have multiple publishing profiles for different sites or publishing strategies.

WordPress Connection Guidelines

For each writer, you'll need their WordPress User ID and an Application Password from the target WordPress site.

How to Find WordPress User ID:

Go to Users → All Users.

Hover over a username. The link in your browser's status bar will show user_id=X. Or, click "Edit" for that user; the URL in your address bar will show the user_id. This number X is the User ID.

How to Generate a WordPress Application Password:

Go to Users → Profile (or Edit Profile).

Scroll down to the "Application Passwords" section. (If this section is not visible, the REST API might be disabled on your site, or a security plugin might be blocking Application Passwords. You may need to enable the REST API or check plugin settings.)

Enter a name for this application (e.g., "Tickzen Automation") and click "Add New Application Password".

A new password will be generated (e.g., xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx). Copy this password immediately and save it securely. You will not be able to see it again after leaving this page.

Use this generated password in the "Application Password" field when adding or editing a writer in Tickzen. Do not use your main WordPress login password here.

Security Tip: Consider creating a dedicated WordPress user with an "Editor" or "Author" role specifically for automation, rather than using an Administrator account, to limit potential security exposure.
