WordPress Plugin Setup
The WeblioHub plugin connects your WordPress site to a WeblioHub workspace. You can configure the AI chatbot, WhatsApp and Telegram, the contact form, newsletter and cookie consent, and follow messages and tasks without leaving the WordPress admin.
Download WeblioHub for WordPress (v0.9.17)
Before you start
- WordPress 6.4 or newer and PHP 8.0 or newer.
- An administrator account on the WordPress site.
- The site must be reachable at its public address. Sites on localhost or behind a password cannot be connected, because WeblioHub checks the site before connecting it.
- You do not need a WeblioHub account yet: one is created for your administrator e-mail when you connect.
1. Download the plugin
Click the download button above and save webliohub.zip. Do not unzip it; WordPress installs the ZIP file directly.
2. Upload and activate it in WordPress
- In the WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin.
- Click Upload Plugin at the top of the page.
- Choose webliohub.zip and click Install Now.
- When the installation finishes, click Activate Plugin.
A WeblioHub menu appears in the WordPress admin sidebar.
3. Connect your site
Open WeblioHub in the admin menu and click Connect to WeblioHub. Nothing is sent to WeblioHub before you click.
- If your administrator e-mail is new to WeblioHub, you receive an e-mail to set your password.
- If the e-mail already has a WeblioHub account, you receive an e-mail to approve the connection. The site is then added to your account as its own workspace.
4. Add the widgets to your pages
Widgets are not added to your pages automatically. Copy each widget's embed code from WeblioHub → Settings → Setup and place it on your site, for example with a code snippets plugin so it survives theme changes. The contact form can also be placed with the shortcode [webliohub_contact_form].

5. WooCommerce product answers
If WooCommerce is active and product search is enabled (paid plans), the AI looks up your published products when a visitor asks about one and replies with the price, stock and a product card.
Updating the plugin
From version 0.9.14, new versions appear like any other plugin update: you see a notice under Plugins and Dashboard → Updates. Click update now, or Enable auto-updates on the Plugins page to install new versions automatically. WordPress checks for updates about twice a day, and your connection and settings stay as they are.
If your site runs an older version, upload the new version once by hand:
- Download the latest webliohub.zip from this page.
- Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and upload the ZIP.
- WordPress shows that the plugin is already installed. Click Replace current with uploaded.
Do not delete the plugin to update it. Deleting it disconnects the site from WeblioHub; your WeblioHub data stays, but you would need to connect again.
Troubleshooting
- "The link you followed has expired" — your host's upload limit is too low. Ask your host to raise upload_max_filesize, or upload the unzipped webliohub folder to wp-content/plugins with FTP and activate it from Plugins.
- "Destination folder already exists" — the plugin is already installed. Use Replace current with uploaded, as described in Updating the plugin.
- No update notice appears — go to Dashboard → Updates and click Check again. If it still does not appear, make sure a security or firewall plugin does not block requests to www.webliohub.com, or update by hand as described above.
- The connection fails — make sure the site opens at its public address and that a security or firewall plugin does not block /wp-json/webliohub/v1/verify, which WeblioHub calls once to confirm the site.
- No e-mail arrives — check the spam folder of your WordPress administrator e-mail (Settings → General).
Privacy
The plugin stores only its settings, a random installation ID and an encrypted installation secret in WordPress. Telegram and WhatsApp tokens are sent to WeblioHub once and stored there encrypted. Visitor data collected by the widgets is processed as described in the Privacy Policy; mention WeblioHub in your site's privacy policy. To offer updates, WordPress periodically downloads a version file from www.webliohub.com; that request does not include your site address or other site data.
