Connecting WordPress

Install the transjt plugin on your WordPress site and connect it to your transjt account.

Note. WordPress is connected from the WordPress side. Install the transjt plugin on your site by hand first; choosing WordPress under Settings > Integrations > Add CMS alone does not set it up.

Before you start

  • A transjt account.
  • A WordPress site on any domain, with administrator access. A fresh installation works best.

1. Download the plugin

Download the transjt plugin from app.transjt.ai/plugin/wordpress. You also find it in the transjt app under Plugins > WordPress plugin.

2. Install and activate it

  1. In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin.
  2. Choose the downloaded file and click Install Now.
  3. Click Activate. transjt.ai now appears in the left admin menu.

3. Connect WordPress and transjt

  1. Log in to your transjt account in the same browser.
  2. In WordPress, click transjt.ai in the left admin menu and click Connect.
  3. A popup asks you to authorize the connection. Confirm it.
  4. In transjt, the site now appears under Settings > Integrations with the connection status O.K.
Nothing happens? The authorization opens in a popup. If your browser blocks popups, allow them for your WordPress site and try again.

Several WordPress sites

Each site needs the plugin and its own connection. Every connected site appears as a separate line under Settings > Integrations.

Settings, Integrations in transjt: Add CMS and Add Repository, and a list of connected HubSpot, WordPress and GitHub accounts, each with the connection status O.K., the creation date and a bin icon
Settings > Integrations: all connected accounts with their status. The bin icon removes a connection.

Link the site to a project

WordPress is always connected through the transjt plugin first (steps 1 to 3 above). After that, you link the site in the Deploy step of your project:

  1. Open your project and go to the Deploy step. You see Ready to deploy with your current package.
  2. Click Deploy Theme to WordPress.
  3. If the project is not linked yet, Select Account or Add new opens: pick your site under Select Existing Account.
  4. Click Deploy.

Once the project is linked, the site step is skipped and the theme is deployed directly. Add WordPress on that screen opens an info screen with the plugin instructions.

Previous packages. Every export is kept as a package in the Deploy step. You can download an older package or deploy it to WordPress again, for example to go back to an earlier version. See Previous packages.
Ready to deploy for a WordPress project: the current package with its components, Download Theme, Deploy Theme to WordPress and Open Preview
Ready to deploy: click Deploy Theme to WordPress, or Open Preview to see it in a sandbox first.
Site not in the list? Install and connect the transjt plugin on that WordPress site first. Unlike HubSpot, WordPress cannot be connected directly from the Deploy step.
The Deploy step in transjt for a WordPress project: Select Account or Add new, with the Select Existing Account dropdown and the Deploy button
Deploy step: select your connected WordPress site, then click Deploy.

Remove a connection

In Settings > Integrations, click the bin icon next to the site. To remove transjt from WordPress completely, deactivate and delete the plugin under Plugins.

Your projects stay as they are. A project that used this connection is no longer linked; select a site again in the Deploy step.

Next step

Export your project, then activate the theme. See Using your theme in WordPress.
