Everything you need to go from install to published content. Start with the walkthrough below, then use the full reference for feature-by-feature detail.
How do I install Ingestics?
Install it like any WordPress plugin: search “Ingestics” under Plugins → Add New, or upload the ingestics folder to /wp-content/plugins/. Activate it and open Ingestics in the left admin menu. The Free edition needs no license key. Paid tiers unlock when you enter your license key from the customer portal.
How do I set up my first provider?
The guided Setup Wizard walks you through it:
- Choose a source type — REST API or RSS/Atom feed. Free supports up to 3 API and 2 RSS providers.
- Configure the request — endpoint URL, and for APIs the auth mode (none, API key, Bearer, or Basic in Free) plus any headers.
- Preview the call — planned and last-call previews show exactly what a fetch returns before anything is published.
- Map fields — point JSON paths (or feed fields) at the post title, content, excerpt, and image.
- Set publish controls — publish, draft, or pending; duplicate checks; source attribution; featured-image sideloading.
- Run a manual fetch — fetches run as bounded background jobs, and the Activity Log records every run.
Draft mode first is the habit we recommend: review a few runs before switching a provider to publish.
Where is the full documentation?
The complete reference covers every feature by edition — scheduling and rotation (Lite), OAuth2, sync engine, field mapper, filters, and webhooks (Pro), and the Business automation stack (API Actions, chained requests, AI rewrite, translation, WooCommerce Product Connector, Twig templates).
