WordPress

The following example variables are used, and should be replaced with your actual URLS.

• my-website.com (The url of your WordPress instance.)
• id.example.com (The url of your Pocket ID instance.)

We will be using the OpenID Connect Generic Client WordPress Plugin. Other plugins should work about the same.

Pocket ID Setup

1. In Pocket-ID create a new OIDC Client, name it i.e. WordPress.
2. Set the callback URL to: https://my-website.com/wp-admin, or leave blank to autofill on first login.
3. (Optional) Upload a logo for your website or download the wordpress logo from Self-Hosted Dashboard Icons
4. Copy the Client ID, Client Secret, OIDC Discovery URL for use in the next steps.

WordPress Setup

1. Open your admin interface of your WordPress and navigate to Plugins > Add Plugin
2. Search for OpenID Connect Generic Client from author Jonathan Daggerhart. Install and Activate that plugin
3. Navigate to Settings > OpenID Connect Client
4. On the top you'll find a Quick Setup_**. Enter your OIDC Discovery URL and click the Load Configuration button
5. After that, fill out the following fields:
   • Login Type: OpenID connect button on login form. Do NOT change this until you've successfully tested your new OIDC login!
   • Client ID: Paste the Client ID from Pocket ID
   • Client Secret: Paste the Client Secret from Pocket ID
6. Save your settings
7. Open an InPrivate window and ensure OIDC login works
8. (Optional) Change Login Type to Auto Login - SSO

Troubleshooting

If you use the Kadence Security plugin, make sure you have 2FA disabled. This will cause the login process to redirect you back to your Pocket-ID instance and you won't be able to get into the WordPress admin page
