Install the WordPress plugin

Verbolica publishes to WordPress through a small plugin called Verbolica Connect. You don't need to share a WordPress username or password; the plugin gives you a key instead.

Requirements: WordPress 5.6 or later, PHP 7.4 or later, and permission to install plugins.

What the plugin doesCopy Anchor Link

• Publishing: creates and updates posts and pages, including categories, tags, featured images, authors and Yoast SEO fields.
• Importing: lets Verbolica read your existing posts and pages, including custom post types, so it knows what is already on the site.
• Engagement tracking: measures scroll depth, active reading time, and clicks on calls to action, outbound links, email and phone links. It uses no cookies and no cross-site tracking.
• Form tracking: records that a form was submitted on a page, for Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Ninja Forms, WPForms and Elementor forms. It records the form and the page, never what was typed into the form.
• Elementor support: designed pages publish as native, editable Elementor content, using the brand's colours and fonts.

UpdatesCopy Anchor Link

The plugin updates itself through the normal WordPress plugin updates screen. Keep it up to date: some Verbolica features need a recent version and will tell you if yours is too old.

Import existing contentCopy Anchor Link

Once connected, use Brand Settings → Connections to import the site's existing posts and pages. Imported content appears in the Library, and Verbolica uses it to link new articles to existing ones and to avoid writing duplicates.
