To get started with the Jetpack plugin/service, please follow the steps below.
Jetpack is a WordPress plugin that does everything. It offers a quick and easy way to improve your WordPress blog by adding a plethora of useful features.
Jetpack, on the other hand, comes preinstalled on WordPress.com-hosted sites. So, if you have a self-hosted site, you can follow the steps below to integrate Jetpack with it.
Steps to follow:
- Go to the Jetpack pricing page at https://jetpack.com/pricing/.
- Choose your desired Jetpack plan from the list, or scroll down and select the free tier.
- On the next screen, click Start for free and enter the URL of your self-hosted website.
- To install it from the cloud, enter your site’s admin username/email and password. You can also choose manual installation, which follows the same steps as other plugin installations. However, I will demonstrate the cloud/automatic process here.
- After entering the credentials for your self-hosted site, click “Install Jetpack.” The installation will take some time.
- Excellent work! Navigate to your site’s wp-admin area now. The following message will appear on your site’s dashboard page: http://prntscr.com/107xm0l.
- To begin using the plugin, click Setup Jetpack.
