Start here
What you are about to set up, in plain words, and roughly how long it takes.
You do not need to know how to code. Every step has a button that copies a prompt you can hand to Claude, and it will do that step with you.
What this actually does
You have a WordPress site, and you have the MrDemonWolf app. Right now they do not know about each other. This plugin introduces them, in two directions:
- Your app can send you things. Someone fills in the contact form in the app, and it lands in WordPress like any other form submission.
- Your site can tell your app things. You publish a post, and the app buzzes — with the post's featured image right there in the notification.
That is the whole idea. Everything else is detail.
How long it takes
| Step | Roughly |
|---|---|
| Install the plugin | 5 minutes |
| Connect it to your app | 10 minutes |
| Send your first notification | 5 minutes |
| Test the contact form | 5 minutes |
The middle step is the fiddly one, because it involves Firebase. The rest is clicking around in wp-admin.
What you need before you start
A WordPress site you can log into as an administrator
If you can see the Plugins menu in wp-admin, you are an administrator.
WordPress 6.0 or newer, and PHP 8.3 or newer
Not sure? Go to Tools → Site Health → Info in wp-admin and open the Server section. It tells you the PHP version. If PHP is older than 8.3, your host can usually change it in their control panel, or you can ask their support to.
A form plugin, if you want the Forms half
Divi, WPForms or Gravity Forms. If you only want push notifications, skip this — you can turn the Forms module off entirely.
If you previously ran PackRelay or TailSignal, deactivate them before installing this one. Do not delete them yet — deleting runs their cleanup routines and drops their database tables.
If something goes wrong
Nothing here can break your site permanently. The plugin can be deactivated from the Plugins screen at any point, and deactivating changes nothing on disk or in your database.
If you get stuck, ask in Discord — include what step you were on and what you saw.
