Marketing (AMS)

Connect your WordPress site

Install the Noli plugin, paste the site URL and API key it gives you, and test the connection so approved articles publish themselves.

Noli publishes to WordPress through its own plugin. You do not need an Application Password, an FTP login, or any edits to your host. The whole connection takes about five minutes.

What you need

  • Admin access to your WordPress site (the ability to install plugins).
  • Your Noli marketing workspace open at ams.noliai.com → Settings → Publishing.

If your site is on WordPress.com, check that your plan lets you upload plugins, since not every WordPress.com plan does. If you cannot install plugins, use the Custom API option instead, or ask us at support@noliai.com.

Step 1: Download the plugin

  1. Open Settings → Publishing in your marketing workspace.
  2. In the Blog Publishing card, under Platform, choose WordPress.
  3. Click Download noli-ams.zip. One small file downloads.

Step 2: Install it on your site

  1. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  2. Upload the zip you just downloaded and click Install Now.
  3. Click Activate.

Step 3: Copy the site URL and API key

  1. In WordPress, open Settings → Noli AMS.
  2. The page shows a Site URL and an API Key. The key is created by your site, not by Noli, and you can replace it there at any time with Regenerate Key.
  3. Copy both values.

Step 4: Paste them into Noli and test

  1. Back in Settings → Publishing, paste the Site URL and API Key into the WordPress fields.
  2. Optionally set a Default Category. Articles publish under it. Leave it blank and Noli matches an existing category by topic or creates one.
  3. Click Test Connection. A green check means Noli can publish. A red message tells you what to fix, usually a typo in the URL or a key that was regenerated on the WordPress side.
  4. Click Save.

Step 5: Decide how articles go out

With the connection saved, open any approved article in the Content Hub and press Publish to WordPress. To skip that step, turn on Auto-publish on approval in the same Blog Publishing card and click Save, and approved articles go to your site on their own. With auto-publish on, you can also turn on Auto-generate hero image so each article goes out with a hero image.

If something goes wrong

  • "Connection failed": check the Site URL matches exactly what the plugin page shows (including https), and that the plugin is still active.
  • The key changed: press Regenerate Key in Settings → Noli AMS on your site, then paste the new key into Noli and test again.
  • An approved article is not on your site: Noli publishes articles live, not as drafts, but only once they are sent. Turn on Auto-publish on approval, or open the article in the Content Hub and press Publish to WordPress.
  • Your site uses a security plugin that blocks REST requests: allow requests from Noli's plugin endpoint, or ask support@noliai.com and we will send the exact rule.

Ask your Chief of Staff

You can also ask your Chief of Staff "connect my WordPress site" and it will walk you through these same steps and check what is already connected.
