There are multiple ways to integrate a Flask app with WordPress. One common approach is to use the WordPress REST API to interact with the Flask app.


Here are the general steps to integrate a Flask app with WordPress:

  1. Develop your Flask app: First, create your Flask application with the desired functionality and endpoints.
  2. Expose your Flask app as an API: Make sure your Flask app has a set of API endpoints that can be accessed by external applications, including WordPress.
  3. Set up the WordPress site: Install and set up your WordPress site.
  4. Install a REST API client plugin: Use a plugin like "WP REST API" to enable the REST API functionality on your WordPress site.
  5. Call the Flask API from WordPress: Use the WordPress REST API endpoints to communicate with your Flask app and retrieve the data or functionality you need.
  6. Display the Flask app content on WordPress: Display the data retrieved from the Flask app on your WordPress site using custom templates or shortcodes.


By following these steps, you can easily integrate your Flask app with WordPress and enhance the functionality of your website.
