Select the Setup\u00a0<\/strong>from the top right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Update Summer ’25: Make sure Allow creation of connected apps is turned on<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\"Where<\/p>\n

Once in the\u00a0Setup<\/strong> page, in the Quick find search – type ‘apps’\u00a0<\/strong>and click Apps\u00a0<\/strong>to open<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You’ll be in the Apps<\/strong> page. Scroll down and in the Connected Apps<\/b> section, click New<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is where we will define the Connected App details<\/p>\n

You may enter any name here, let’s enter\u00a0WordPress Website Plugin\u00a0Connection<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Enter your email in the\u00a0Contact Email\u00a0<\/strong>field<\/p>\n

We’ll need to set two more fields<\/p>\n

First the Callback url – it tells Salesforce where our plugin resides. To get this url link navigate to the plugin page on your WordPress Dashboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Copy the Callback URL from the Plugin Page.<\/p>\n

Back in Salesforce, in the\u00a0API\u00a0<\/strong>section of the Connected App, select the Enable oAuth Settings<\/strong> checkbox. The oAuth section is enabled, paste the Callback URL <\/strong>field.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

in the Available oAuth Scopes <\/strong>option\u00a0pick the api<\/strong> and refresh_token<\/strong>, offline_access<\/strong> scopes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

IMP: Make sure the Require Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) Extension for Supported Authorization Flows <\/strong> is unchecked. <\/p>\n

All Done! Scroll down all the way to the bottom and click\u00a0Save<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After saving you’ll see the confirmation screen, click Continue<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Connected App has been created, you will now see the Consumer Key<\/strong> and Consumer Secret\u00a0<\/strong>values assigned to our app.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We will use these values to connect to Salesforce from our WordPress site.<\/p>\n

In the final step we’ll copy these values to our Plugin and complete the connection.<\/p>\n
