• Once you’ve found the correct plugin, click the “Install Now” button next to it.

• After the plugin has been installed, the “Install Now” button will change to “Activate.” Click “Activate” to enable the plugin on your WordPress site.

Step 03: Connect your WordPress site to your Contentpen account

Once the plugin is activated, you’ll usually need to connect it to your Contentpen account. 

• Now, you need to find the Contentpen settings. After activation, a new menu item for “Contentpen” might appear in your WordPress sidebar.

• In the Contentpen settings, paste the API key you copied earlier to link your WordPress site.
