Wordpress

At the moment the wordpress plugin is not yet available within the wordpress store, it will be added at a later date. This unfortunately means a few additional steps are required. This page helps install the plugin, set it up and use it.

This page consists of the following topics

Plugin Requirements

In order to be able to use the plugin a few notes should be taken. Due to the fact that this plugin uses the new Wordpress architecture (first introduced in 2017). This means that the minimum version we support is Wordpress 5.9 in combination with PHP 7. It is also important to state that you should be using the Block editor instead of old editor.

Are you not sure if your wordpress installation matches the requirements we recommend you get in contact with your website administrator. He will be able to tell if your website meets the requirements and if not is also able to help you get your website up to date if so desired.

Downloading the plugin

The plugin can be downloaded on this page here we also show a version history if you would like to download older versions. After you've downloaded the plugin you should have a file with the .zip extension.

In the case that you are using a Apple in combination with safari? In some cases safari automatically extracts your files. This can be easily resolved using one of two methods

If you've chosen the second option, this will prevent all future files from being extracted. Is this not what you want? Simply redownload the file and follow the steps mentioned above but this time enable the checkbox instead.
