Install on WordPress

The Sitepilot plugin is the easiest way to add Friday to a WordPress site. One click connects your site to your Friday workspace — no copy-pasting keys, no theme edits.

Heads up: the plugin is currently under WordPress.org directory review. For now, install via the .zip from github.com/ashwanijha04/sitepilot-wp (the repo is private during review — request access).

Steps

  1. Download the latest sitepilot.zip.
  2. In WordPress admin: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. Pick the .zip, install, activate.
  3. Open the new Sitepilot menu in the sidebar.
  4. Click Connect to Friday. You'll be sent to friday.starkspherelabs.com, sign in, pick which workspace this site belongs to, and you'll be bounced back. Done.

Manual key paste (fallback)

If the OAuth-style connect fails — corporate firewall, weird hosting, etc. — you can paste your workspace key directly:

  1. In the dashboard go to Install and copy the data-key value (looks like frd_xxxxxxxx).
  2. In the plugin's settings page, click Use a key instead, paste, save.

What the plugin does

  • Adds the Friday widget script to wp_footer on every front-end page.
  • Reads your active workspace key and adds the right data-key.
  • Honors any per-page disable flag you set in the Sitepilot meta box.

It does not ship anything to your wp-admin pages, and it does not modify post content. If you uninstall, the script tag goes with it — no residue.

Verify it's live

Open your homepage in a private window. You should see Friday's launcher in the bottom-right within a second of page load. Send a message — if it answers, you're wired up. If you don't see the launcher, jump to Troubleshooting.
