Connect Your Site to OwlStack Cloud
The OwlStack plugin can connect your self-hosted WordPress site to the OwlStack Cloud dashboard, so posts you compose there are pushed to your site — as drafts or published immediately, your choice.
Unlike a WordPress username and Application Password, the plugin issues a scoped site token: it can only create posts, upload images, and remove posts it created. It never grants admin access, only a hash of it is stored on your site, and you can revoke it at any time.
Requirements
- OwlStack plugin 1.1.0 or later
- An OwlStack Cloud account
Generate a Site Token
- In your WordPress admin, go to Owlstack → Cloud
- Click Generate Token
- Copy the token — it is shown only once
Connect in the OwlStack Dashboard
- In app.owlstack.app, go to Accounts and choose WordPress
- Paste your site URL and the site token, then click Connect Site
OwlStack verifies the connection against your site before saving it. Once verified, your site appears as a connected channel and you can include it when composing posts.
Control Incoming Content
On the Owlstack → Cloud page you decide how pushed content is handled:
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Post Status | Always draft, always publish, or honor what OwlStack Cloud requests |
| Post Author | The WordPress user that authors incoming posts |
| Post Type | The post type incoming content is created as |
Choose Always save as draft to review every post in WordPress before it goes live.
Revoke Access
Click Revoke Token on the Owlstack → Cloud page. OwlStack Cloud loses access immediately. Generating a new token also invalidates the old one.
Troubleshooting
- Validation fails when connecting — a security plugin or firewall may be blocking your site's REST API (
/wp-json/owlstack/v1/cloud). Allow that namespace and try again. - Posts arrive as drafts unexpectedly — check the Post Status setting; it overrides what the dashboard requests.
Privacy
The plugin never makes outbound calls to OwlStack Cloud. All requests originate from OwlStack Cloud and are authenticated with your site token. The feature is inactive until you generate a token.
