Getting Started

WordPress plugin

Connect a WordPress website to DocID^® and protect its content.

The DocID^® WordPress plugin is the quickest integration path for a standard WordPress website. It implements the OAuth redirect and lets administrators protect supported WordPress content.

Open the DocID^® plugin on WordPress.org

Prerequisites

A WordPress website on HTTPS
Permission to install and configure plugins
A DocID^® asset and OAuth client for the target environment
The client ID and client secret supplied for that asset

Configure the plugin

Install and activate the DocID^® plugin from the official WordPress.org listing above.
Open Settings → DocID^®.
Enter the client ID and client secret for the correct environment.
Copy the callback URL shown by the plugin and register it in DocID^®.
Select the content that should require a DocID^® login.
Save the settings and test the flow in a private browser window.

The default callback format is:

1https://your-domain.example/?docid_oauth_callback=1

Register the callback exactly as shown for the website. A different scheme, hostname, path, query, or trailing slash causes the authorization request to fail.

Requested identity data

The plugin uses the standard scopes:

1openid profile email

Only configure and use profile information needed for the website experience.
