Before you start
You need three things:
- A WordPress site you can install plugins on (administrator access).
- A Glopzi account. Sign up at dashboard.glopzi.com. The trial is free, no card required, and includes the full editor.
- Your Glopzi license key, visible in the dashboard after signup. It looks like
GLPZ-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.
Note
WordPress version 6.0 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer are recommended. The plugin checks compatibility on activation and tells you if something is missing.
1. Get the plugin
From the dashboard, open the install card for WordPress and click Download plugin. You’ll get a .zip file named glopzi-studio.zip.
Save it somewhere you can find it again. You’ll upload it through WordPress in the next step.
2. Install and activate
- In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New.
- Click Upload Plugin at the top, pick the
glopzi-studio.zipfile, and click Install Now. - When the install finishes, click Activate Plugin.
A new Glopzi Studio menu item appears in the admin sidebar. The plugin is installed but not yet connected to your account.
Some hosts block ZIP uploads
A few security plugins (notably anything based on Sanesecurity antivirus rules) flag minified animation libraries as suspicious and refuse the upload. If you hit a "file rejected" error, upload the unzipped glopzi-studio folder via FTP into wp-content/plugins/ instead, then activate from the Plugins screen.
3. Paste your license key
- Open Glopzi Studio in the admin sidebar.
- Paste your license key in the activation field. It must look like
GLPZ-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX. - Click Activate.
On first activation, the key is bound to your site’s domain automatically. You don’t need to register the domain separately. You’ll see a green confirmation when the connection is live.
One license, many sites
Pro and Agency plans let you reuse the same license key across multiple sites, up to your plan’s limit. Just paste it on each site. Glopzi tracks the bound domains for you.
4. Open the editor
You can open the editor in two ways.
- From the admin sidebar. Go to Glopzi Studio. The editor loads your home page in a frame.
- From the front of your site. While logged in as an admin, browse to the page you want to animate. In the WordPress admin bar at the top, click Edit with Glopzi. The editor opens with that exact page already loaded.
The second path is what you’ll use day to day. It saves you from having to navigate to the right page from inside the editor.
If something goes wrong
- The editor frame is blank. Some hosts block iframes by default. Open the browser console: if you see an
X-Frame-Optionserror, contact your host or open a ticket on our contact pagewith the host name and we’ll send you the exact header to whitelist. - License activation fails. Double-check the key. The most common cause is a stray space when copying. The key should be 24 characters plus the four dashes, nothing else.
- Animations don’t appear on the front end. Check that the page you saved animations on is the same one you’re viewing logged out. If you use a caching plugin, clear its cache once. After that, saves propagate within seconds without further intervention.
Next steps
- Your first animation in 5 minutes walks you through picking an element and animating it.
- The editor toolbar covers every button at the top of the screen.
- License keys explained covers reactivation, multiple sites, and what happens if you change domains.
