Onboarding Setup Wizard ​

After successfully installing and activating WP Social Ninja, you will see some easy steps to set up the wizard. This guided process is designed to help you configure the foundational settings for your first social platform.

You are always in control. If you prefer to explore the full dashboard first, click the Skip All onboarding link at any time.

Let's walk through the setup, step by step.

Step 1: Select Your Category ​

The first step asks you to choose which Category of features you want to start with. As the image shows, your options are:

  • Social Feeds: To display posts from your social accounts.
  • Business Reviews: To display business reviews.
  • Social Chat: To add a chat widget to your website.
  • Notification Popup: To display notification popups on your website.

Selecting a category in the WP Social Ninja onboarding wizard

Select one and click the "Continue" button to proceed to the next step.

NOTE

In this example, the Social Feed category is selected. The next steps will be based on this category. If you choose Business Reviews instead, the following steps will change according to that category.

Step 2: Select Your Platform ​

Here, you will select the specific social platform you want to connect.

The list of platforms shown (like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Google My Business, Yelp, or Facebook Feed) will depend on the category you just selected.

  • Hashtag Feed: Showcase public Instagram posts if they use specific hashtags in their caption.
  • Shoppable Feed: Connect the shoppable feed to convert visitors from the Instagram feed to websites.

Step 4: Choose a Template ​

This step is for choosing the visual style of your feed or reviews. You have two settings to configure:

  • Layout Type: This is the structure (e.g., Grid, Slider, Carousel, or Masonry).
  • Template: This is the design skin (e.g., Vega, Sirius, or Polaris).

Step 5: Configure Your Template ​

In this final step, you will connect your account and apply basic filters.

  • Configuration: Click the Connect... button (for example, Connect with Instagram) to authorize your account. A pop-up will guide you through the login and permission process.
  • Filters: After connecting, you can use the Filters dropdown. For example, you can use Filter by Rating to only show 5 Star reviews.

Click the Save button to finish.
