Hostinger

🚨 If your WordPress site is hosted on Hostinger and the connection to Sorank fails, it’s almost always because the Hostinger security plugin disables WordPress Application Passwords by default. WordPress Application Passwords are required so Sorank can connect to your site, audit your content, and automatically apply SEO and GEO fixes. Hostinger blocks them by default through their bundled security plugin. You need to manually re-enable this feature in your WordPress admin.

​

Step 1: Log in to your WordPress admin

Go to your WordPress dashboard at yourdomain.com/wp-admin and log in with your administrator account.

​

Step 2: Open the Hostinger Tools menu

In the left sidebar of your WordPress admin, locate the Hostinger menu. Click on it to expand the options, then go to Tools.

​

Step 3: Find the Application Passwords setting

Inside Hostinger Tools, scroll until you find a setting named Application Passwords (sometimes labeled WP Application Passwords or Disable Application Passwords).

​

Step 4: Enable Application Passwords

Toggle the option to Enabled (or uncheck the box that says Disable Application Passwords). Save your changes if a save button appears.

​

Step 5: Reconnect Sorank to your WordPress site

Return to your Sorank dashboard and try the WordPress connection again. The application password generation should now work without errors.

​

Verification

Once the connection succeeds, Sorank will start auditing your WordPress site automatically. You’ll see your pages, posts, and SEO data appear in your dashboard within a few minutes.
