Connect your Wix blog
Publish from Stratafold to your Wix blog: paste your Wix dashboard link and a key from your Wix account.
For business owners. 4 minute read. Updated .
This connection is newly opened. You can connect it today; we are still checking it with real accounts, so tell us at stratafold@bakaroart.com if anything looks wrong.
Once your Wix site is connected, posts you publish in Stratafold appear on your Wix blog, usually within a minute.
Before you start
- Your site needs Wix Blog. If it doesn’t have a blog yet, add one in the Wix editor first.
- Only the site’s owner can create the key Stratafold needs.
- Only posts go to Wix. Wix pages are built in the Wix editor and can’t be created from outside.
1. Get two things from Wix
- Open your site’s dashboard in Wix and copy the link from your browser’s address bar. It starts with
https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/and tells Stratafold which site is yours. - Open manage.wix.com/account/api-keys and choose Generate API Key.
- Name it Stratafold, give it access to this site only, and turn on the permissions for Wix Blog (Manage Blog) and Rich Content.
- Generate the key and copy it. Wix shows it only once.
2. Connect it in Stratafold
- Open Publish elsewhere in the menu and choose Connect a Wix website — or choose Wix when a new business asks Where is your website?
- Enter your website address, paste the dashboard link and the key, and tick what should appear on your blog.
- Choose Connect my website. Stratafold checks everything with Wix straight away and says exactly what to fix if something is missing — the key, the blog, or a permission.
What happens next
- Publishing creates the post on your blog, with its first picture as the cover image and the description from How it shows in Google as the excerpt. The author is whoever wrote your blog’s latest post.
- Publishing again updates the same post rather than creating a copy.
- Taking it off the website, putting it away or deleting it turns the post back into a draft in Wix. Nothing is deleted.
- Things you published before connecting aren’t sent in bulk. Open one and choose Send now under Where it appears.
If something goes wrong
If Wix is busy, Stratafold keeps trying on its own. If the key is deleted or loses a permission, publishing is paused and Stratafold names the missing permission. Fix it in Wix’s API Keys page — or choose Update login details in Publish elsewhere — then Check connection, and everything waiting is sent. If your blog has never had a post, Wix may ask for an author: publish one post in Wix yourself, then check the connection.
