Install the connector

Three ways to install the FleetWP Connector plugin on a WordPress site.

The FleetWP Connector is a small plugin that pairs a WordPress site with your FleetWP workspace and handles signed communication in both directions.

Requirements

  • WordPress with the REST API reachable over HTTPS.
  • The ability to run wp-cron (or a real system cron hitting wp-cron.php) — the connector runs backups and other jobs in the background.

Install methods

  1. Download the connector zip from your FleetWP dashboard (the Add site flow links to it), or from https://app.fleetwp.io/fleet-connector.zip.
  2. In wp-admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. Choose the zip, install, and Activate.
wp plugin install https://app.fleetwp.io/fleet-connector.zip --activate

Next step

After activating, open the FleetWP menu in wp-admin and pair the site with a one-time connection key — see Pairing.
