When something doesn’t connect.

The section is hidden when your site isn’t on HTTPS, or when a security plugin has disabled the feature. Move the site to HTTPS, or re-enable Application Passwords in your security plugin, then reload Users → Profile. Full walkthrough: Connect a WordPress site.

Check three things: the username is your WordPress login name (not your email, unless that’s your username), the Application Password was copied in full (six groups of four), and the site URL matches where WordPress actually lives. recto verifies on connect, so a fix here is immediate.

recto crawls published, indexable pages. A near-empty result usually means the site blocks crawlers (a robots.txt or security plugin rule), or most content is set to noindex. Allow recto’s crawl and re-run from the site screen.

Either the property is brand-new (Google needs days to accumulate data), or you connected a different property than the one with traffic. Reconnect and pick the property that matches your site exactly — domain vs. URL-prefix matters. See Connect Search Console.

You’re signed in with a Google account that isn’t an owner of the property, or it was never verified. Add yourself as a user in Search Console, or reconnect with the owning Google account.

recto fails closed — if a push doesn’t land, it doesn’t mark the link live. The usual cause is the Application Password was revoked in WordPress, or the user lost publish rights. Generate a fresh Application Password and reconnect, then re-approve the suggestion.

You’re at your site limit. Stack another code to raise it, or disconnect a site you no longer manage. Disconnecting never removes links you already approved. See Add another site.
