Resolving the issue with the Webflow Pages plug-in on Wordpress
If you are encountering the error message "The API key failed. Try publishing your Webflow site first" while using the Webflow Pages plug-in on Wordpress, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue:
- Check if you have successfully generated the API key: Ensure that you have properly generated an API key from your Webflow account. To generate a new API key, follow these steps:
- Login to your Webflow account and navigate to the Project settings.
- Under the Integrations tab, click on the "Generate API Key" button.
- Copy the generated API key and make sure it is pasted correctly in the Wordpress plugin settings.
Check if your Webflow site is published: The error message suggests that you should try publishing your Webflow site before using the Webflow Pages plug-in on Wordpress. Make sure that your Webflow site is published and accessible using the assigned custom domain or the Webflow subdomain.
Ensure the correct API key is entered in the plugin settings: Double-check that you have entered the correct API key in the Webflow Pages plugin settings within Wordpress. It's easy to accidentally enter an incorrect or outdated API key, leading to authentication issues.
Verify the API key permissions: Confirm that the API key you generated has the necessary permissions to access and interact with the Webflow CMS. Make sure that the API key has read/write access to the collections and items you want to use within the Webflow Pages plugin.
Check for plugin compatibility: Ensure that both the Webflow Pages plug-in and your Wordpress installation are up-to-date. In some cases, certain versions of the plugin may not be compatible with specific versions of Wordpress, resulting in errors.
Contact Webflow support: If you have tried all the above steps and the issue persists, it may be worth contacting Webflow support for further assistance. They can help troubleshoot the problem and provide specific guidance tailored to your situation.
Remember that the Webflow Pages plug-in requires a working API key, a published Webflow site, and proper configuration within Wordpress to function correctly. By following the steps above, you should be able to resolve the issue and use the Webflow Pages plugin seamlessly on your Wordpress site.
