Zinn\u00ae Connector links a WordPress site hosted anywhere to Zinn Digital\u00ae, so the articles you write and schedule there are published here automatically \u2014 with their images, in the category and under the author you choose \u2014 and, if you want it, the whole site is backed up off-site.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n If you write your articles in Zinn Digital\u00ae and this WordPress site is hosted somewhere else, this plugin is how the two are introduced.<\/p>\n\n Paste a pairing code from your Zinn Digital\u00ae dashboard and the plugin creates a WordPress application password<\/strong> for itself and hands it to Zinn Digital\u00ae. You never see or copy the credential, so it cannot be pasted into the wrong window or left in a support ticket.<\/p>\n\n The plugin does not change your site. It adds no endpoint, no shortcode and nothing to your public pages, and it makes no outbound request at all until you pair it.<\/p>\n\n Everything it sends is listed under External services<\/strong> below. In short: one request when you press Connect, a connection-status check for its own screen, and \u2014 only if you switch scheduled backups on in your Zinn Digital\u00ae dashboard \u2014 an hourly check for a due backup, plus the upload itself when one is due.<\/p>\n\n Anyone who writes, schedules or commissions articles in Zinn Digital\u00ae for a WordPress site that Zinn Digital\u00ae does not host \u2014 a client's site, a brand site on another host, or a network of sites. Sites hosted with Zinn Digital\u00ae are connected for you and do not need it.<\/p>\n\n Press Disconnect this site<\/strong> on the plugin's Connection tab, or revoke the \"Zinn Digital\u00ae (publishing)\" application password under Users \u2192 Profile \u2192 Application Passwords. Deactivating the plugin does not<\/strong> revoke it, deliberately \u2014 deactivating a connector to test something should not silently stop your publishing.<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects your WordPress site to Zinn Digital\u00ae so that articles scheduled there are\npublished to this site. It is useless without that service, and it only ever talks to it.<\/p>\n\n What is sent, and when<\/strong><\/p>\n\n No content, visitor data or analytics are transmitted.<\/strong> The plugin makes no outbound request\nof any kind until you pair it.<\/p>\n\n Service terms: https:\/\/zinndigital.com\/legal\/terms\nPrivacy policy: https:\/\/zinndigital.com\/legal\/privacy<\/p>\n\n Support diagnostics (only when you press send).<\/strong> If you ask us for help, the plugin can send\na support report to Connection status.<\/strong> Every string this plugin adds to your admin is translated into 57 languages<\/strong> \u2014 labels, notices,\nerrors and settings, not a subset. The catalogues are bundled in the plugin, so they work as soon\nas you set your site language; there is no separate language pack to install.<\/p>\n\n They are bundled rather than left to translate.wordpress.org because that service can only offer\nthe languages volunteers have got to, and Zinn Digital\u00ae sells its platform in all 57 of these \u2014 a\ncustomer whose site is in Amharic or Khmer would otherwise read an English admin screen\nindefinitely. A community translation is always preferred where one exists: WordPress loads a\nlanguage pack ahead of a bundled catalogue, so contributing on translate.wordpress.org replaces\nours rather than competing with it.<\/p>\n\n Every user-visible string is complete in each of the 53 languages WordPress can serve today:<\/p>\n\n Amharic (am), Arabic (ar), Azerbaijani (az), Bulgarian (bg_BG), Bengali (Bangladesh)\n(bn_BD), Czech (cs_CZ), German (de_DE), Greek (el), Spanish (Spain) (es_ES), Persian\n(fa_IR), French (France) (fr_FR), Gujarati (gu), Hebrew (he_IL), Hindi (hi_IN), Croatian\n(hr), Hungarian (hu_HU), Armenian (hy), Indonesian (id_ID), Italian (it_IT), Japanese\n(ja), Georgian (ka_GE), Kazakh (kk), Khmer (km), Kannada (kn), Korean (ko_KR), Lao (lo),\nMalayalam (ml_IN), Mongolian (mn), Marathi (mr), Malay (ms_MY), Myanmar (Burmese)\n(my_MM), Nepali (ne_NP), Dutch (nl_NL), Panjabi (India) (pa_IN), Polish (pl_PL), Pashto\n(ps), Portuguese (Brazil) (pt_BR), Romanian (ro_RO), Russian (ru_RU), Sinhala (si_LK),\nAlbanian (sq), Serbian (sr_RS), Swahili (sw), Tamil (ta_IN), Telugu (te), Thai (th),\nTagalog (tl), Turkish (tr_TR), Ukrainian (uk), Urdu (ur), Uzbek (uz_UZ), Vietnamese\n(vi), Chinese (China) (zh_CN)<\/p>\n\n A further 4 ship complete in the plugin \u2014 Hausa (ha), Somali (so_SO), Tajik (tg), Yoruba (yo) \u2014 but\nWordPress core does not currently provide a locale for them, so WordPress cannot load them.<\/p>\n\n Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Pashto and Urdu are right-to-left. Every screen this plugin adds was\nrendered in a real WordPress install in each of those languages and checked, not assumed.<\/p>\n\n corrections and new languages can be contributed directly.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes. The plugin is free and GPL-licensed. It connects your site to a Zinn Digital\u00ae account, which is where articles are written and scheduled; there is no paid version of the plugin and nothing in it is locked.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. It runs on any WordPress 6.6 or later with PHP 8.2 or later, wherever the site is hosted. The only requirement is that WordPress application passwords are enabled, which they are by default on any site served over HTTPS.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. On the Publishing tab, set \"Publish articles as\" to a draft and every article waits for you to review and publish it yourself.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. It sends the site's address, the WordPress username, and a credential it creates for Zinn Digital\u00ae. Nothing else leaves the site.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Create an application password yourself under Users \u2192 Profile and enter it in your Zinn Digital\u00ae dashboard. The plugin exists so you do not have to handle the credential.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Pairing and every screen it adds are in wp-admin, and it adds nothing at all to your public\npages \u2014 no script, no stylesheet, no markup.<\/p>\n\n If you switch scheduled backups on, WordPress's own cron runs the hourly \"is a backup due?\"\ncheck, and WordPress cron is triggered by a visit. That check is one short request to Zinn\nDigital\u00ae and it happens after<\/strong> the page has been sent to the visitor, so it does not delay\nanybody. With backups off, the plugin never runs on a front-end request.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n A real connection status that says what is wrong and what to do about it, a Disconnect button that actually revokes the credential, and full control over what may be published to your site \u2014 status, author, category, images, edits and email notifications. Backups gain an on\/off switch, exclusions and a size limit.<\/p>\n\nWhat you can do with it<\/h4>\n\n
