Overview

Till now, you could migrate your existing WordPress data into Flotiq using WordPress to Flotiq migration service (check this Migrate WordPress to Flotiq article for more).

Recently, we have added a new FlotiqSync plugin, that you can add to your WordPress site from the plugins section in the Admin panel.

The plugin migration service supports the following types of content:

• Posts
• Pages
• Media
• Tags
• Categories
• Authors

Installation

Go to Plugins > Add New and type Flotiq Sync in the search bar(1).

Next, click Install now (2) to add the plugin to your collection.

If this does not work, you can download the .zip file from this site and click Upload plugin (3) instead.

The last option is to extract .zip file and put its contents under the following path wp-content/plugins/flotiq-sync .

Usage

You can now access plugin settings by going to Settings > Flotiq Sync

Provide your Read and Write API Key from Flotiq and click Save.

Click Run Synchronization to perform initial sync between your Wordpress and Flotiq.

After a few seconds, you should be able to see a message about successful synchronization.

Go to your Flotiq account and double-check if everything was imported successfully.

Now, whenever you add or update content in WordPress, it will be automatically synchronized with your Flotiq account!

Examples

And that's all!
