INSTALLATION GUIDE

How to install WPFlow Connect

A simple step-by-step guide for downloading the plugin, installing it in WordPress, and creating the one-time password used to connect your site.

Before you start

You do not need to code anything. Keep WPFlow open in one tab and your WordPress admin area open in another.

  • Have the website address you want to connect.
  • Sign in to WordPress with an administrator account.
  • Be ready to open your profile page inside WordPress.
  • Download the WPFlow Connect plugin before you begin.

Step-by-step guide

Follow these steps in order. Most sites only take a few minutes.

  1. 01

    Step 1: Download the plugin

    Download the WPFlow Connect plugin to your computer so it is ready to upload into WordPress.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Log in to WordPress

    Open your WordPress admin area, which is usually your website address followed by /wp-admin/, then sign in with an administrator account.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Upload the plugin

    In WordPress, go to Plugins, choose Add New, then choose Upload Plugin. Select the WPFlow Connect zip file you downloaded.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Install and activate it

    Click Install Now, wait for WordPress to finish, then click Activate so the plugin is live on your site.

  5. 05

    Step 5: Create a one-time Application Password

    Go to Users, then Profile. Find the Application Passwords section, type WPFlow Connect as the name, click Add New, and copy the password shown. WordPress only shows it once.

  6. 06

    Step 6: Paste the details back into WPFlow

    Return to WPFlow onboarding and paste your Site URL, Admin username, and the one-time Application Password so WPFlow can pair your site securely.

Simple setup. Secure pairing. No coding required.

What to paste back into WPFlow

WPFlow asks for three details so it can complete the secure connection.

Site URL

Use the website address you normally visit in the browser. If needed, include the full https:// version.

Admin username

Use the real WordPress login name for an administrator account, not a nickname or display name.

One-time Application Password

Paste the password WordPress shows after you click Add New in your profile. Copy it straight away because it is only shown once.

Quick checks if something does not work

These simple checks solve most setup issues without digging into technical settings.

  • Make sure you installed the plugin and clicked Activate.
  • Check that you are signing in as a WordPress administrator.
  • Create a fresh Application Password if the old one is no longer visible.
  • Copy the password exactly as WordPress shows it, including spaces if present.
