How to install ArticlePress AI in WordPress

Install in six steps

1. Download articlepress-ai-plugin.zip from the official URL above.
2. In WordPress admin, open Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin.
3. Select the ZIP file itself. Do not unzip it first.
4. Click Install Now, then Activate Plugin.
5. Open ArticlePress AI from the left admin menu.
6. Confirm the site can reach https://api.articlepressai.com so managed features can connect normally.

What to check before you start

• Your WordPress user role can install and activate plugins.
• The target site allows normal plugin uploads.
• The host allows outbound HTTPS requests.
• You know whether you are testing on one site or several.

After activation

• Open the plugin dashboard and confirm the admin menu loads.
• Check that your fresh account includes 100 starter credits, usually enough for roughly 10 to 20 article runs.
• Run one short draft or title test before pushing the workflow into regular publishing.
• If managed features do not connect, move directly to the troubleshooting page.

If you are evaluating the plugin for a sensitive publishing stack, test on staging first and only then move the workflow to production. After the ZIP is active, use the activation guide to confirm the dashboard, managed connection, and starter balance all look normal.
