FAQ
Do I need a GrowthNation account?
Yes. Sign up for free at growthnation.ai, complete the onboarding, then come back to connect the plugin.
Is this plugin secure?
Yes! The plugin uses token-based authentication with SHA-256 hashing. Your WordPress password is never shared with GrowthNation.
How do I connect my site?
After activating the plugin, go to Settings > GrowthNation and click “Complete Connection to GrowthNation”. A popup will guide you through the pairing process.
How do I disconnect?
Go to Settings > GrowthNation and click “Disconnect”. You will be asked to confirm before the connection is removed.
Why can’t I connect my WordPress.com site?
If your WordPress.com site is set to “Private” visibility, it will block all external API access including GrowthNation. Go to Settings → Site Visibility in your WordPress.com dashboard and change your site to “Public” or “Hidden” (both allow API access). After changing visibility, return to Settings → GrowthNation and complete the connection again.
What should I do if my connection code expired?
Connection codes expire after 10 minutes for security. If you see an “expired code” message, simply close the popup window, return to Settings → GrowthNation in your WordPress admin, and click “Complete Connection” again to generate a fresh code.
Can I use this with other plugins?
Yes! This plugin has no external dependencies and won’t conflict with other plugins.
What permissions do I need?
You need a WordPress Administrator account.
Are posts published automatically?
Only if you choose “Publish” in GrowthNation. You can also send posts as drafts and review them in WordPress before publishing.
Can I include featured images?
Yes! Simply include a featured image URL when creating posts from GrowthNation. The plugin will automatically download and set it as the featured image.
