How to Install and Use Core Numbers WordPress Plugin on Your Website

Step 1: Installing the Plugin

To get started, you need to install the Divine Astro plugin. Here’s how:

• Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
• Navigate to Plugins > Add New in the left-hand menu.
• Search for "Divine Astro" in the plugin directory.
• Click Install Now, and once installed, click Activate.
• After activation, a new menu item, Divine Astro, will appear in your dashboard.

That’s all it takes to install the plugin! Next, we’ll walk you through activating and setting up the Core Numbers widget.

Step 2: Activating and Authenticating the Plugin

To activate the plugin and access the Core Numbers widget, you need to authenticate it with an API key and authorize your website.

Get Your API Key:

• Sign up for a 7-day free trial or log in as a paid user at Divine API.
• Retrieve your API key from the Dashboard under API Keys.

Authenticate the Plugin:

• In your WordPress dashboard, click Divine Astro in the left-hand menu.
• Navigate to the Authenticate tab.
• Paste your API key into the field provided and click Save Settings.

Authorize Your Website:

1. Copy your website URL from WordPress.
2. Go to Website Authorization on the Divine API Dashboard.
3. Add your website URL and click Save.
4. Head back to WordPress and refresh the page—you will see a “Your Site is Authorized” badge in green.

Once authorized, your widgets will become fully functional.

Note: Without website authorization, the Core Numbers widget will not work. For detailed steps, visit our article: - How to Authorize Your Website.

Step 3: Embedding the Core Numbers Widget

The Core Numbers Widget falls under the Numerology category in the plugin. Once your plugin is authenticated and your website is authorized, follow these steps to embed the widget on your website:

1. Navigate to Divine Astro > Numerology > Core Numbers in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Locate the shortcode for the Core Numbers Widget. If you don’t see an existing shortcode, click Create New Shortcode to generate one.
3. You will be redirected to Divine API—check your widget settings and click Save.
4. Head back to WordPress and refresh the page. Once the shortcode appears, click the Copy button beside it.
5. Open the page or post where you want the Core Numbers Widget to appear.
6. Paste the shortcode into the WordPress editor (Block Editor or Classic Editor).
7. Save or publish the page to see the widget live on your site.
8. Click on View Page to see the preview of the widget.

Once the shortcode is embedded, the Core Numbers Widget will display seamlessly on your website, pulling real-time data for your users.

Step 4: Customizing Your Core Numbers Widget

The Core Numbers Widget can be customized directly on the Divine API platform to fit your website’s design and functionality. However, the WordPress plugin offers additional tools for creating and managing multiple widget versions through shortcodes.

Creating a New Shortcode

If you need variations of the Core Numbers Widget (e.g., different settings for different pages), you can create multiple shortcodes:

• In the Numerology section of the WordPress plugin, click Create New Shortcode.
• This will generate a new shortcode with default settings.

You can customize the new shortcode on the Divine API Dashboard (details below).

Customizing Existing Shortcodes

Each shortcode can be customized further using the Customize button:

• Click the Customize button next to the shortcode you want to edit.
• If you’re already logged into the Divine API Dashboard, this button will take you directly to the customization settings for that specific shortcode.

If not logged in, you’ll be prompted to log in, after which you’ll be redirected to the settings.

On the Divine API Dashboard, you can adjust the following settings:

• Colors: Match the widget’s palette to your website theme.
• Fonts: Select font styles that blend seamlessly with your design.
• Heading & Subheading: Customize the main heading and subheading for your widget.
• Button Label: Customize the label text for the button.
• Form Heading: Modify the title or main heading of the input form.
• Input Fields: Change the placeholder text for First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, and Method (General, Chaldean, Pythagorean) to guide users through the input process.

For a detailed guide on customization settings, refer to this article: -  Step-by-Step Guide to Customize Core Numbers Widgets.

Step 5: Managing Multiple Shortcodes

If you create multiple shortcodes for the Core Numbers Widget, you can manage and organize them easily:

• Identify Each Shortcode: Shortcodes are labeled with unique IDs for easy tracking.
• Assign Shortcodes to Pages: Use specific shortcodes for specific pages to offer unique experiences to your users.

This allows you to maintain flexibility and deliver a personalized experience to your audience through the Core Numbers Widget.

Final Thoughts

By combining the Divine Astro plugin’s WordPress integration with the customization power of the Divine API Dashboard, you can create a truly tailored experience for your users. Whether it’s embedding the Core Numbers Widget or creating multiple custom versions, the process is designed to be seamless and user-friendly.
