WordPress integration
Connect the Tarkle WordPress plugin with an API token to embed transfers and file requests on your site.
The WordPress integration connects the Tarkle WordPress plugin to your workspace, so the plugin can embed your transfers and file requests on your WordPress site. The plugin connects with a developer token that you create in Tarkle, on the API page, Settings > API.
Tarkle turns Settings > API on for all accounts at once. Until then the page is not found, so the steps below cannot be completed.
Create a token for WordPress
The WordPress panel shows Connected as soon as you have a developer token. If no token is listed yet, follow these steps.
Open Integrations in Settings and find WordPress in the list. The WordPress panel lists the setup steps.
Click Go to Developers. The button opens Settings > API.
Click New token.
If the dialog asks which kind of token to make, click Developer token.
In Token name, type a name you will recognise, for example WordPress Integration.
Leave the boxes under Public API access unchecked. The WordPress plugin does not need any access. To learn what the access choices do, read API tokens and webhooks.
Click Create token.
In Token (shown once), click the token to copy it, then click Done.
Paste the token in your WordPress plugin settings.
The token is shown only once, so copy it and save it in a secure location before you click Done.
Check the connection
Once a token exists, the WordPress panel lists the newest developer token under Active API token. The panel shows its name, its token and when it was created, and Last used appears once the plugin has used it. The panel shows the newest token whatever it was made for, so keep that in mind when you create one for WordPress.
The Connected domains section shows the first WordPress site that called Tarkle, as Connected to followed by its domain. When more sites connect, the panel adds a count, for example and 1 other or and 2 others. Until a site connects, the panel shows Waiting for WordPress plugin to connect...
Replace or disconnect a token
To replace a token, create a new one as described above and paste it in your WordPress plugin settings. Then delete the old token on the API page: open its menu, click Delete, and confirm. A deleted token stops working right away, everywhere it is used.
Click Disconnect in the WordPress panel to clear the connected domains. To stop the plugin from using its token, delete that token on the API page.
A workspace under a reseller partner that hides WordPress cannot load WordPress status.
What the plugin can embed
A transfer must be public. Only public transfers can be embedded on WordPress. To learn what a transfer is, read What are transfers in Tarkle?.
What happens next
Once a WordPress site connects with the token, its domain appears under Connected domains in the WordPress panel.
