SnapPress Connect Is Now on the Official WordPress Plugin Directory

We have some great news to share: SnapPress Connect is now listed on the official WordPress.org Plugin Directory. You can find it right here: wordpress.org/plugins/snappress-connect.

Honestly, we're really excited about this one. This is a big step for us, and it makes getting started with SnapPress even easier than before.

What Does This Mean for You?

If you've been using SnapPress Connect by downloading the ZIP file from our website, that still works perfectly fine. But being on the official directory brings some real benefits:

• You can install it right from your WordPress dashboard. Go to Plugins > Add New, search for "SnapPress Connect," and click Install. No ZIP files, no manual uploads.
• When we release a new version, WordPress will notify you and let you update with one click, just like any other plugin.
• Every plugin on the official directory goes through a review process. The code has been checked for security and WordPress coding standards.

It's the same plugin doing the same thing , just a much smoother way to install and keep it up to date.

How to Install SnapPress Connect

If you haven't set up SnapPress Connect yet, here's all you need to do:

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Go to Plugins > Add New.
3. Search for "SnapPress Connect".
4. Click Install Now, then Activate.
5. Go to Settings > SnapPress Connect to generate your QR code.
6. Scan the QR code with the SnapPress app on your iPhone.

That's it. Your site is connected, and you can start uploading photos from your phone immediately.

A Quick Reminder: What SnapPress Connect Does

SnapPress Connect is a lightweight WordPress plugin that generates a QR code containing your site's connection details. When you scan this code with the SnapPress iOS app, your WordPress site is registered in the app instantly — no typing URLs, no copying credentials.

The plugin uses WordPress Application Passwords (built into WordPress since version 5.6) for secure authentication. Your login credentials are never stored in the app, and you can revoke access anytime from your WordPress dashboard.

Why the Official Directory Matters

We always planned to get SnapPress Connect on the official directory. Having a plugin listed on WordPress.org tells users the code has been checked. It also means you can trust the update process — updates come through the same system WordPress uses for all its plugins.

For us, it's also about discoverability. WordPress powers over 40% of the web, and the plugin directory is where most site owners go first when looking for tools. Being there means more people can find SnapPress Connect when they need a better way to upload photos from their phone.

Get Started

If you're already using SnapPress Connect from the ZIP download, we recommend uninstalling that version and reinstalling from the WordPress Plugin Directory so you'll get automatic updates going forward.
