Installation guidance, connection steps and practical information to help you get started with NextHub.

Welcome to NextHub

NextHub brings your WordPress websites into a central workspace. The platform uses two components: NextHub Manager, installed on your central WordPress website, and NextHub Connector, installed on each website you want to connect.

Important: The exact screens and available features can vary by plugin release. Follow the instructions shown inside the versions you have installed.

Before you begin

  • Access to the WordPress website you will use as your central Manager site.
  • Administrator access to each WordPress website you want to connect.
  • The current NextHub Manager and NextHub Connector ZIP packages.
  • A working HTTPS connection is recommended for your WordPress websites.
  • Make a backup before installing or updating plugins on a production website.

Installation guide

01

Install NextHub Manager

In the central WordPress dashboard, open Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the NextHub Manager ZIP, install it and activate it.

02

Open the Manager dashboard

Use the NextHub menu in WordPress Admin to open the Manager interface. Review the available connection or pairing instructions in your installed release.

03

Install NextHub Connector

On each website you want to manage, upload the NextHub Connector ZIP through Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, then activate it.

04

Pair the website

Follow the pairing process shown in Manager and Connector. Enter or approve the requested pairing details exactly as displayed by the plugins. Do not share pairing codes or access tokens publicly.

05

Verify the connection

Return to Manager and check that the website appears in your website directory with a connected status. If it does not appear, review the troubleshooting steps below.

Connect additional websites

Repeat the Connector installation and pairing steps for each WordPress website you want to add. Keep the Connector active and updated on managed websites. Use the website directory in Manager to find a site and review the details and actions available in your release.

Using NextHub Manager

The Manager dashboard is the central place to review your connected website portfolio. Depending on your installed release and configuration, the interface may provide website search, connection details, monitoring information, update and maintenance controls, backup scheduling, health reporting, team assignment and site actions.

Only use actions that are visible and enabled in your installed version. Check a backup and confirm your recovery process before performing bulk maintenance on important websites.

Troubleshooting

A website does not appear in Manager

  • Confirm Connector is installed and activated on the managed website.
  • Repeat the pairing process using the current instructions in both plugins.
  • Check that the website can be reached and that HTTPS and WordPress REST API access are not blocked by a firewall or security plugin.
  • Check for plugin errors and review your hosting or WordPress error logs.

The connection stops working

  • Confirm both plugins are active and compatible versions.
  • Check whether a security, caching or firewall rule is blocking requests.
  • Review the connection status and any error message shown in Manager or Connector.
