5. Copy the password generated there and save it in a safe location. It will look something like this: *tkAh 3Wf8 sbSU OmMk Bbio G0jX*

## Connect Olitt to Your Wordpress Installation

1.Now, login to your **Olitt Account**and go to **Social Media Manager**

2.Click **Add Channel**then click**Wordpress**

## Troubleshooting

If you are unable to connect Wordpress, these are some of the areas you could check to troubleshoot

1. Confirm the SSL certificate of your website is valid. Your site should not display Insecure message when accessed. If the site shows as secure but still unable to connect, test the validity of the SSL using [SSL Labs](https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/)

2. Confirm that you are using App Password and not the Wordpress admin login password.
