WordPress for Cowork

/wp-status
check your connection

/wp-status is the fastest way to verify Cowork is talking to your WordPress site. Run it any time you’re not sure if a previous setup attempt actually worked.

What it returns

A connection summary printed in chat:

  • Connected as: your WordPress admin username
  • Site URL: the WordPress domain you paired with
  • Tools available: the count of Cowork Bridge tools currently loaded
  • License: bearer state (active / unknown / expired)
  • End-to-end verification: a small batch of probe tests (5 of 5 passed = healthy)

When to run it

  • Right after /wp-setup, to confirm pairing.
  • If Claude says “I can’t reach your site” — /wp-status tells you whether it’s an allowlist, license, or REST API issue.
  • After major changes (host migration, license renewal, security plugin reconfiguration).

How to read failures

Each failed row points at the next thing to investigate. “REST API not reachable” → see REST API not available. “License unknown” → re-run /wp-setup with the correct key.
