@jeffpaul thanks for the PR! Could you please rebase your PR on top of the latest changes in the base branch? |
Description of the Change
This PR folds the standalone (and often not seen/read)
wpdotcom-authorization.mdfile's contents intoREADME.mdand attempts to update the docs to current integration steps. This PR is currently a DRAFT as I'm unable to successfully create an External Connection via the WordPress.com Application method, though this may be due to testing this with a local site (I'll next try with a "live" site).Alternate Designs
Keep as-is, though having these sorts of instructions outside the README.md seems suboptimal (at least in the case where there's no dedicated docs site).
Benefits
Ensures that folks going through the External Connections setup steps in README.md also have details on doing so via the WordPress.com Application method.
Possible Drawbacks
None identified.
Verification Process
Working on verifying myself, will update here once that's successful.
