  Does anyone elsoe having trouble connecting Claude AI to the WordPress plugin? It opens the site to approve the connection, but the buttons “deny” and “approve” are missing. I tried different browsers but nothing works, it seems to be broken on the WP side.

  The missing ‘Approve’ and ‘Deny’ buttons during the Claude AI OAuth connection usually indicate that the OAuth handshake is failing an invisible validation check, preventing the authorization script from rendering the final action buttons. This frequently happens if your WordPress site’s local URL setting is mismatched (like utilizing HTTP instead of HTTPS) or if your web host (such as SiteGround or Hostinger) is blocking the /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server path prefix at the server layer to reserve it for ACME SSL renewals, which serves a static 404 to Claude before WordPress can process it. To resolve this, check with your hosting provider to ensure that path isn’t being intercepted, and make sure any active security firewalls (like ModSecurity) or aggressive caching plugins are temporarily disabled so the authorization metadata can load fully!.

  Thanks for your reply. After checking it all, it seems like the connector on the WordPress site is just broken…
