Install and connect the WordPress plugin
Install SplitSMS v1.7.2, paste a full API key, pick a Sender ID, and send a test.
For WordPress site owners
- 1
Create the SplitSMS account first
Sign up on splitsms.com, add wallet credits, and request a Sender ID. The plugin does not send until the cloud account has an approved sender and balance.
- 2
Create an API key
Open Developers → API Keys (or Dashboard → App connections). Create a key with sms.send (and sender_ids.read so the plugin can list senders). Copy the full ~56-character secret immediately — the dashboard only shows a prefix later.
- 3
Install the plugin
WordPress.org: Plugins → Add New → search SplitSMS → Install → Activate. Manual: download the zip from Integrations → WordPress (v1.7.2) → Upload Plugin → Activate. If an old splitsms* folder exists, delete it first.
- 4
Connect and test
In wp-admin open SplitSMS → Settings. Paste the full API key, pick the Sender ID, set an admin phone, Test connection, then Save. Send a test SMS from the plugin Dashboard. The site then appears under SplitSMS Dashboard → Integrations → WordPress.
Notes
- Pasting only the visible prefix (for example sk_live_99a064) causes not_configured errors.
- If WordPress says plugin file not found, delete every splitsms* folder under wp-content/plugins/ and upload a fresh zip.
