The Geco Connector

A lightweight WordPress plugin that pairs each site with your dashboard over an HMAC-signed, encrypted channel.

Full guide coming soon — the essentials are below. If you get stuck in the meantime, contact support and a human will help.

What the connector does

It exposes a small, signed API on your site so the dashboard can read inventory, run updates and manage users — nothing more. It adds no frontend code and no tracking.

Auto-install

Provide admin credentials on the add-site screen and we install and activate the connector for you. Credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.

Manual install (zip upload)

Download the connector zip and upload it in wp-admin under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, then activate. The site pairs automatically.

Installing from WordPress.org

Available once the plugin is listed in the WordPress.org directory.

Pairing and secrets

During pairing, the site and dashboard exchange a per-site secret used to sign every subsequent request. Removing the site invalidates the secret immediately.

Uninstalling

Remove the site in your dashboard, then deactivate and delete the plugin in wp-admin. Your WordPress site is untouched.
