WordPress.com — Docs — Zero Human OS

This is an Express tool. Zero Human has already set up the server address, the permissions and the sign-in, so you connect it by pressing Connect and signing in with your own account. What Express is.

What a member can do

Create posts and pages as drafts, publish them, and edit existing content.
Manage comments, media, categories and tags.
Read site settings, activity logs, themes and plugins, and change them where the site's plan allows.
Edit templates, navigation menus and global styles.
Invite users to a site and change their roles.

Each task names the WordPress.com tools it may call. wordpress on a task means every tool the WordPress.com server offers; a name such as wordpress.<tool> means that tool alone. A tool the task does not name is refused, whatever the connection allows.

Who connects it

A WordPress.com connection acts as the WordPress.com account that signed in when it was connected. It can do what that account can do, and no more.

Anyone who may change tools in your enterprise can connect WordPress.com for a member or a team. Connecting it for the whole enterprise is for the owner, and the people the owner allows.

A connection can sit on the enterprise, a team, a member, a role or a task, and the one further down replaces the one above: task, then role, then member, then team, then enterprise. A connection on anything but a task also reaches the chat of every member it covers.

What waits for you

In a run, nothing on WordPress.com waits for you unless the task declares a gate on it. To approve each change before it happens, gate the tools that change something on the task. See Gates and tool scopes.

In a chat, a WordPress.com tool that its server does not mark as read-only asks you before it runs, unless you chose Always allow for that member and tool.

Setup

Before you connect

Needs a paid WordPress.com plan (free sites get it for their first 30 days). MCP must be enabled in the WordPress.com account settings, where access can also be set to read only.

Connect it

WordPress.com is an Express tool, so there is no server address, key or app to set up. Work in one browser window throughout: the sign-in returns to the portal in the window you started from.

In the portal, open the member's page → Tools. To connect it for a team or the whole enterprise, open Tools in the sidebar.
Under Express, find WordPress.com and choose Connect. On the Tools page you are asked who uses it: one member, a team or the whole enterprise.
WordPress.com's sign-in opens. Sign in with the account the member should work as, and approve what it asks for.
You are back on Tools, and WordPress.com shows as connected.
Name the tools on the task, wordpress for all of them or each by name.
Check it. Run a task that reads something from WordPress.com. The run page shows the call and what came back.

You can take the access back at any time: delete the connection on Tools, or remove Zero Human OS from the connected apps in your WordPress.com account.

A first task to try

With WordPress.com connected, give a member a task that uses it. For example:

When I give you an outline, write the post as a draft on our site with a category and tags, for me to review before publishing.

Start this task in the portal. It opens a conversation with your COO with the request written out. Read it, change what you like and send it. The COO asks what it still needs to know, then proposes the task for you to approve: its name, who owns it, its guardrails, the WordPress.com tools it may use and its instructions. Nothing is created until you approve it.
