Comment by Stephan de Vries on "Is there a way in Meteor to provide user login authentication using wordpress?"

There's a package for that called accounts-wordpress on Atmosphere. However in the package readme it says:

Not ready for production.

So it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to use it.

You could however create your own package. This is relatively simple. Take a look at the other accounts-* packages like accounts-twitter that uses the twitter package. Wordpress provides you with API documentation that you can use while creating the package.

Hope that answers your question!

Hey @Innocent! Thanks for the quick reply. This is out of scope of the question asked but the package says that it's a "Login service for self-hosted WordPress accounts". I want to be able to have users who have their blogs with <something>.wordpress.com domain names (which are not self hosted). Would I be able to do that? I've a lead on this, which is this : https://auth0.com/authenticate/meteor/wordpress. I download the minimal code snippet for this (which I downloaded from their site only) and followed this, and I was able to login with my <myblog>.wordpress.com account in Meteor.

My target is to be able to make a social platform for wordpress bloggers, since it seems that the only way they are able to contact each other is through the comments on each others' posts... Please let me know if anything that I've asked of you, is not clear, I'll try to clarify more.

Oh, my bad. I should have read the readme on the Github repository more thorough. It says "It is not for authenticating using wordpress.com.".

The link that you sent of 'auth0' seems like a great solution. I also just discovered another package called wordpresscom that supports Wordpress oauth login.

Would love to checkout your project anytime soon! :)

Thanks again! Would comment here, once I'm done developing it :)
