Getting started

Install the plugin, run your first check, and pair your WordPress site in under 10 minutes.

Installation guide

Step 1

Create your account

Go to opsgate.ca/signup. Enter your name, email, and a password (minimum 8 characters). No credit card required for the free tier.

Step 2

Install the plugin

In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New and search for “OpsGate”, then click Install Now. If your site installs plugins manually instead, download the ZIP from opsgate.ca/plugin and upload it — do not unzip it first.

Step 3

Activate it

Click Activate. OpsGate opens its own screen inside your WordPress admin. Requires WordPress 6.5 or later and PHP 8.1 or later.

Step 4

Run a free public check

After activation, the OpsGate plugin opens automatically. Click Run Free Security Assessment. This checks your site from the outside — no connection needed for the Free plan.

Step 5

Connect for full access (Starter and above)

In your OpsGate console, go to Settings for your site and generate a connection code. Enter that code in the OpsGate WordPress plugin to complete the connection. Full security scanning, reports, and alerts turn on immediately.
