Connect a site
Installing the plugin doesn't send any data by itself — a site only starts logging once it has a verified site key.
Create an account
Go to app.hellolog.io and sign up.
Add a site
In the dashboard, open Sites → Add site, then enter the domain and the full site URL. helloLOG mints a site key for it.
Copy the key — it's shown once
The key is only ever displayed at creation time. Copy it before leaving the page; the dashboard only stores its hash, so a lost key means rotating to a new one, not recovering the old one.
Paste it into WP-admin
On the WordPress site, go to Tools → helloLOG → Settings, paste the key, and save.
Test the connection
Click Send test event (or run wp hellolog test). A successful test
flips the site to Active — this is the only path from "key stored" to
"sensors attached." Until it succeeds, nothing is queued and nothing is
sent.
Keeping the connection healthy
Once active, the plugin rechecks its key against the backend once a day. If a key is revoked or a site is paused in the dashboard, sensors turn themselves off automatically — usually within a day, without you touching WP-admin. A network hiccup or a backend outage during that daily check never turns logging off by itself; only an explicit rejection from the backend does.
