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.
