If you want to utilize GT Account based authentication via CAS for a WordPress website, it is highly recommended that you try using the Sites @ Georgia Tech service, which has GT Account authentication already built in.  Once you have your site created, it is very easy to add other users to the site, who can then log in using their own GT Account Username and password.

<?php
  
$username = 'USERNAME';
$password = 'PASSWORD';
$apiURL = "https://api.gatech.edu/apiv3/";
$schema = 'central.academics.course_catalog.classes';

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $apiURL . $schema .

1. In your repository on github.gatech.edu, click the Clone or download button.
2. Click the Use SSH link in the upper-right corner of the dialog.
   
3. Click the copy to clipboard icon.

Professional Web Presence was retired as of the end of July 2020.  It has become Sites @ Georgia Tech.  Please visit Sites @ Georgia Tech for documentation and information on that service.
