How To Enable And Use WordPress Library Sync Integration

Summary

WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) for creating blogs, websites, and more. With the WordPress Library Sync integration, users can synchronize the assets in the Bynder DAM to the WordPress Library and publish media and branded assets from the Bynder DAM directly into WordPress websites.

Who?

This feature/solution requires your Customer Success Contact to enable, but then individual permissions can be done by the Bynder Admin.

Don't yet have Bynder? Start Here!

Once this integration is enabled users with the Portal Settings permission can manage this integration. For more details on configuration, please refer to Integrations Configuration: Recommended Permissions and Best Practices.

Why?

Save time with the Bynder x WordPress Library Sync Integration. Once the integration is configured, assets from Bynder will sync to the WordPress Library after approximately 5 minutes. This integration saves users time thus increasing efficiency. 

Note: Bynder assets added before setting up the integration must be manually added to your WordPress Library.

How?

Configuring The Wordpress Library Integration

  1. Configure Bynder assets with the tags needed before syncing to WordPress.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Advanced settings> Portal settings.
  3. Click Browse Integrations in the left sidebar.
  4. In the WordPress Library Sync section, click Configure.
    • On this page, you will also see all the other Integration Hub options that are part of the Standard Integrations Hub package
    • If you have purchased just 1 Wordpress Library Sync connection, please select the Wordpress Libary Sync option. If you have the Standard Integrations Hub option as part of your contract, this allows you to have up to 5 integrations configured from this page. You are able to see how many connections you have available:

    • Please note that a ‘configuration’ means setting up one of these connections one time. 
  5. In the Wordpress Library Sync page, add in or create your Bynder authentication in the first dropdown menu.
  6. If you've already configured a Bynder connection, it will be selected. If not, select New Authentication to add your Bynder credentials:
    • Your authentication name: Enter a name for the authentication.
      Domain: Enter your unique domain by copying the URL of your Bynder portal (including the https://).
  7. Click Create, then Next.
  8. In the Wordpress Authentication section, select New Authentication and add the following information:
    • Authentication name: Enter a name for the authentication.

    • Password: This needs to be a WordPress Application. 
    • Password: Copy the WordPress Application Password from your Wordpress admin settings and put it in here.
  9. Click Create.
  10. Click Next.
    • Bynder Asset Tag: Assets tagged with the corresponding tag will sync to the WordPress Library. Newly uploaded assets tagged with this tag will push to Wordpress. If you leave this blank, all new asset uploads will push to Wordpress.
    • We recommend naming the Asset Tag something obvious, such as “WordPress”.
    • Adding multiple tags is possible when separated by a comma, and is an "AND" condition. 
    • In the Wordpress Maximum File Size section, type in the max size of assets that are allowed in your Wordpress Media Library. You can find this by going to your Wordpress Media Library and clicking the Add Media File button:

    • Click the Next button.
    • In the Wordpress Attributes Mapping page, you can choose which Bynder metadata fields you would like to push to corresponding Wordpress fields. You are able to map to the Wordpress Alt-Text, Description, and Caption fields.
    • In the Bynder Metaproperties column, select the Bynder metaproperty, then in the select the Wordpress field you’d like to map it to in the Wordpress Attributes column.
