Connect WordPress

The Silktide plugin for WordPress lets you open any page in the WordPress editor from Silktide, and tells Silktide to retest a page when you publish it. See CMS connections for what a connection does.

You need administrator access to WordPress, so you can install plugins.

1. Get your key

1. In Silktide, open Settings, then Integrations, and choose CMS.
2. Choose WordPress, pick what the connection applies to, and choose Connect.
3. Copy the key.

If WordPress is already connected, open its connection on the Integrations screen to copy the key again.

2. Install the plugin

1. In WordPress, go to Plugins, then Add New.
2. Search for Silktide, then choose Install Now and Activate.

You can also download the plugin from its page on WordPress.org and upload it with Upload Plugin.

3. Add the key

1. In WordPress, go to Settings, then Silktide.
2. Paste the key into API Key.
3. Choose Save Changes.

4. Retest and check

Retest the website in Silktide. When the test finishes, open a page in the Inspector and choose Open in CMS. The page opens in the WordPress editor.

To check publishing, update a page in WordPress and publish it. Silktide starts testing that page within a few minutes.
