  How can I find my “consumer key” and “shared secret” for my WordPress.com site so that I can integrate it with my Canvas Instructure LMS?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’ve been here for over 7 years and have answered 73,020 questions but I don’t know what you are referring to. Please try stating that again in another way.

  My school recently started using a new learning management system: Canvas, from Instructure. One of the things you are supposed to be able to do is add new features that are LTI tools. It says you can integrate WordPress into your Canvas site, as long as you have the LTI key — it is also asking for the Consumer Key and Shared Secret. The exact directions it gives for adding your WordPress to your course site is:
  Directions for configuring WordPress:

  Configure your WordPress account for multisite
  Download the WordPress LTI plugin
  Extract the LTI plugin into wp-content/mu-plugin
  Log as superAdmin and go to Network Dashboard -> Settings -> LTI Consumers Keys. Here you can manage the authorized consumers keys
  For more detailed configuration, follow the directions here

  It seems like this would only work for a WordPress.org account, but I wanted to see if it was at all possible for the WordPress.com blog I have.

  No it’s not possible.

  There is no FTP access and no plugin capability on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ FTP access, and plugins are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.

  That’s what I was afraid of. Okay, I’ll have to do a workaround. Thanks for verifying.
