Connect your website to AppNatively

Your app doesn’t have content of its own – it pulls everything from the website you connect here. This is the single most important setup step for a new app, and it’s required before the App Editor will even open.

Before you start

Have your website’s URL ready. That’s the only thing you need in hand before you start.

Steps

1. Go to Website Connection

Open your app, then go to Settings → Website Connection.

2. Choose your platform

Select WordPress.

3. Enter your site details

Enter your Website URL – your site’s normal web address.

4. Check the connection

Click Check Connection to test what you’ve entered. This doesn’t save anything yet – it’s just a test.

5. Save your configuration

Click Save Configuration to make it official. Saving automatically re-runs the same check, so you don’t need to click both buttons every time.

6. Confirm you’re connected

Look for the status badge at the top of the card – it should read “Connected.” If it doesn’t, see Fix a failing or dropped connection.
