## FAQ

### Do I need a GrowthNation account?

Yes. Sign up for free at [growthnation.ai](https://growthnation.ai), complete the
onboarding, then come back to connect the plugin.

### Is this plugin secure?

Yes! The plugin uses token-based authentication with SHA-256 hashing. Your WordPress
password is never shared with GrowthNation.

### How do I connect my site?

After activating the plugin, go to Settings > GrowthNation and click “Complete Connection
to GrowthNation”. A popup will guide you through the pairing process.

### How do I disconnect?

Go to Settings > GrowthNation and click “Disconnect”. You will be asked to confirm
before the connection is removed.

### Why can’t I connect my WordPress.com site?

If your WordPress.com site is set to “Private” visibility, it will block all external
API access including GrowthNation. Go to Settings  Site Visibility in your WordPress.
com dashboard and change your site to “Public” or “Hidden” (both allow API access).
After changing visibility, return to Settings  GrowthNation and complete the connection
again.

### What should I do if my connection code expired?

Connection codes expire after 10 minutes for security. If you see an “expired code”
message, simply close the popup window, return to Settings  GrowthNation in your
WordPress admin, and click “Complete Connection” again to generate a fresh code.

### Can I use this with other plugins?

Yes! This plugin has no external dependencies and won’t conflict with other plugins.

The plugin will automatically download and set it as the featured image.
