Studio reads your site’s configuration through the Blockli WordPress plugin. The connection tells Studio what your site supports — which community features are active, what modules are available, and how the app should be configured.

​
Connecting your site

  1. In Studio, open your app and go to Settings → WordPress Connection.
  2. Verify the site URL (set when you created the app). Update it if your site has moved.
  3. Click Connect (or Verify Connection if it was previously connected).
  4. On success, Studio shows a green “Connected” badge and lists the detected capabilities.
The Blockli plugin must be installed and activated on the WordPress site before connecting. See Installation.

​
What Studio syncs

After a successful connection, Studio stores: This data is used to generate your app binary when you generate a build for your app.

Troubleshooting

“Could not reach site” on connect
  1. Confirm the Blockli plugin is activated
  2. Check pretty permalinks: Settings → Permalinks in WordPress admin (any structure except “Plain”)
  3. Test directly: visit https://your-site.com/wp-json/blockli-mobile/v1/ping — you should see a JSON response
  4. Check that no security plugin is blocking the REST API for unauthenticated requests to the /blockli-mobile/ namespace
Site URL changed after connecting Update the URL in Settings → WordPress Connection, then click Reconnect. Studio runs the handshake again and updates the plugin’s cloud settings with the new URL.
