Installation

This page covers the baseline install for running WP SignalStack in a WordPress environment with the Thinkific Ops integration.

Prerequisites​

Before you install, confirm that you have:

  • a working WordPress site where your marketing pages live
  • access to install and activate plugins
  • a Thinkific school and API credentials
  • access to wp-config.php for environment-level secrets

Install order​

Install the components in this order:

  1. Install and activate the core plugin required by your WP SignalStack setup.
  2. Install and activate Thinkific Ops.
  3. Add the encryption key constant in wp-config.php.
  4. Open the plugin settings screen in WordPress admin.

Required environment constant​

Add the encryption key before entering live credentials:

define( 'BB_TFO_ENCRYPTION_KEY', 'your-long-random-secret-here' );

Use a long random value and keep it stable across requests. If this value changes after credentials have been stored, previously encrypted values may no longer decrypt correctly.

After activation​

Once the plugins are active:

  • go to the Thinkific Ops settings screen
  • enter your Thinkific subdomain and API credentials
  • save settings
  • run the initial sync if your workflow requires it

Continue with Configuration once the plugin is installed.
