Connect a Wordpress website using GoodBarber plugin

In order to connect a WordPress blog to your application, first you must install the GoodBarber for WordPress plugin.

WordPress plugin GoodBarber is an extension of the JSON API plugin, which is used a lot by the WordPress community.
We use it to provide a secure exchange between your app and your blog and as well as to provide more flexibility in content synchronization.

Note: both plugins are compatible. If you already use JSON API for another service, it will stay compatible with the GoodBarber plugin.

Check the GoodBarber plugin presentation in the WordPress plugin directory: https://wordpress.org/plugins/goodbarber/

​Important:You can only synchronize public post content type.
WordPress Pages, events pages and custom pages are not managed.

1. Go to the administration interface of your WordPress blog.
This interface is accessible via an URL like http://www.yourblog.com/wp-admin.
2. Login with your administrator password.

3. From the side menu, click on Plugins > Add new.

4. Type "GoodBarber" in the search field
5. Launch the search.

7. Click "Install Now"
