Installing the MediaOS WordPress Plugin On Your Website

Before you can use our new features like the ad server or the business directory, you need to install the MediaOS WordPress plugin on your site.

NOTE: The MediaOS ad server will only work with a WordPress website.

  1. Choose Members from the left hand navigation menu.
  2. Click Websites from the options on the next screen.
  3. Click New Website in the top right corner.
  4. Click Download WordPress Plugin and install, following the steps listed on the screen.
  5. Once you download the plug-in, you’ll need to go to WordPress. 
  6. Click the Plugins icon on the left toolbar. 
  7. Click Add New on the drop down menu. 
  8. Click Upload Plugin at the top of the page. 
  9. On this page, you’ll be prompted to choose a .zip file. Download the file from MediaOS and upload it on this WordPress page. 
  10. Once the file is uploaded, click the Installed Plugins icon on the left toolbar. 
  11. Click the box next to MediaOS Services to activate the plugin.
  12. Next, navigate back to MediaOS. 
  13. Click Proceed to Next Step.
  14. On the next screen, enter your website’s name and URL in the fields provided. 
  15. Click the toggle WordPress Enabled to verify that your site is actually a WordPress-powered website. 
  16. Then enter your WordPress site’s login and password credentials (Note: An admin’s login and password works best here.)
    • This allows MediaOS to pull information from WordPress on your site’s pages, posts, categories, post types, etc.
  17. Click Connect.
    • Note: The website section will update to show that your website is up-to-date. The up-to-date status is listed under Version. 

Now that you’ve installed the MediaOS WordPress plugin, you’re ready to set up your ad server or launch your business directory!
