You can connect your WordPress sites to SiteGround AI Studio and use the specialized AI Agent for WordPress to manage them using natural language.

Once connected, the AI Studio platform can help you edit or publish posts, perform technical tasks with your plugins and themes, and more – all within the AI Studio workspace.

In this article, we’ll describe several ways to set up the integration.

One-click connect using the SiteGround Central plugin

The SiteGround Central plugin is automatically installed on all new WordPress sites created on SiteGround. One of its features is a one-click, seamless integration with SiteGround AI Studio.

Important:

 

The following steps apply only for users that have created their WordPress sites on SiteGround, using the automatic WordPress installer.

If you have the SiteGround Central plugin active, simply go to your WordPress dashboard and click the Connect Agent button in the AI Studio card.

There are several ways to start the connection process:

  1. Connectors Page

Go to AI Studio admin and look for your profile settings in the top right menu bar. Click your Profile icon > Connectors.

If you have multiple WordPress sites hosted on SiteGround servers, they will be automatically listed for you and you can select all of them, or choose specific ones that you want to manage with the agent.

To add an externally hosted WordPress website, you need to:

  1. Download, install and activate the SG AI Studio plugin on your website.
