Setting Up the WordPress Integration with Adaptify SEO

This document outlines the process of integrating WordPress with Adaptify SEO. The integration allows for efficient management and publication of blog content for WordPress sites using Adaptify SEO.

Adaptify SEO WordPress Plugin

We have an official Adaptify SEO WordPress plugin, which you can download when you set up your website, go to “Enable One-click Publishing” on your Adaptify SEO dashboard and select WordPress. Follow the instructions on the page:

Some agencies prefer to have a plugin on their customer’s sites not mentioning Adaptify. A white labeled plugin is available on request, simply email us and we will send you a custom branded WordPress plugin.

SEO Plugin support

It is great idea to have an SEO plugin on your WordPress website.

Yoast

We fully support Yoast, and have also optimised our articles for good Yoast scores. When you install our plugin we automatically populate relevant metadata.

RankMath

We also fully support RankMath. RankMath is feature rich and has some features that greatly compliment Adaptify SEO. When you install our plugin we automatically populate relevant metadata.

AIOSEO Pro

We only support the paid version of AIOSEO, and when you install our plugin we automatically populate relevant metadata.

WordPress Plugins

WordFence

If a user has WordFence installed, by default articles will not be published.

The setting ““disable WordPress application passwords” needs to be disabled.

On newer versions of WordFence his can be found under “Firewall” and under “Brute Force Settings”. For older versions, please this setting can be found under “settings” and under “Additional Options”:

the firewall can also be an issue for posting content to a WordPress website with WordFence enabled.

Rankmath has a useful guide how to fix this:

PatchStack

Similar to WordFence, PatchStack is also a security plugin that disables WordPress application passwords. Unfortunately, PatchStack does not offer granular settings to control this, so the only option is to disable it (and install another security plugin like WordFence instead).

SolidSecurity by SolidWP

This security plugin is not compatible with Adaptify SEO out of the box. If you have installed Adaptify SEO already, you need to first make the below changes, and then set up Adaptify SEO again.

Loom Setting up Two-Factor Authentication for WordPress Site 👩‍💻

Follow these steps in this order:

1. Go to your site and find the Solid Security plugin, then navigate to to SolidSecurity → Settings → Features → Login Security → Two-Factor. And enable Two Factor Authentication. This setting needs to be enabled for the next setting to appear. Press Save

2. Go to Users, check your role and remember it (eg Administrator), click on your username, and go down to the bottom of the page, there is a purple box called Two-Factor Authentication. Press Configure and follow the steps.

3. Go to SolidSecurity → Settings → User Groups → Features → Application Passwords. And enable Application Passwords for Administrators and Editors or the role of your user in step 2. Press Save

4. Navigate to the Adaptify SEO dashboard, One-Click Publishing → Step 1: “I have activated the plugin → Step 2: Reset. (if you have not set up the plugin yet, no need to press Reset, just follow the usual steps).

5. Go back to your site and navigate to Plugins and find Ada SEO By Adaptify → Deactivate → Activate. This resets the integration, now test-publish an article and it should work.

Other common issues with SolidSecurity:

• make sure API access is enabled and looks like this:

• make sure the account you activate the plugin on has the “All API Types” setting in the accounts page with Read Only disabled:

All In One WP Security

The All In One WP Security plugin blocks application passwords. It does not give an error on WordPress’ side but it does mean articles fail to publish.

The setting to take a look at first is Disabled application password. Which can be found by going to:

“WP Security” → “User Login” → “Additional settings”

And then deselect this box:

Also make sure the REST API is not switched off:

LiteSpeed Cache

This plugin will often make the WordPress REST API inaccessible in its attempt to optimize pages, which will prevent Adaptify SEO from publishing articles. It doesn’t have an option to clear cache, so the only way is to deactivate it (and possibly use another caching plugin if needed, see WP Rocket below).

WP Rocket

This plugin is compatible with Adaptify SEO, but sometimes its cache gets clogged and blocks the WordPress REST API (which is needed for the Adaptify SEO plugin to function). In this case, you’ll need to go to the WP Rocket plugin settings and press first “Clear Cache” and then “Clear Critical Images”:

Changing Users

In order to change user’s in Wordpress please follow these instructions:

1) Login as the new user in Wordpress

2) De-activate the Adaptify plugin.

3) Re-activate the Adaptify plugin

4) Log into your Adaptify Account

5) From the dashboard, choose the site with the new user

6) Click on “One-Click Publishing”

7) In Step 3 there will be a popup asking you to confirm the new username.
