FAQ
Questions
Can I use my WordPress plugins?
Plikli doesn’t run WordPress plugins (PHP). The features of popular plugins (SEO, contents, share buttons, related posts, shop links, ads, redirects, contact forms, comment spam filtering) are built in. Upload a plugin zip and Plikli tells you where its built-in equivalent is. The code inside the zip is never run or stored.
Does Plikli have comments?
Yes. Each site chooses off, moderated or open (off by default). Readers give only a name and a comment; no email or IP address is stored. Approved WordPress comments can be imported.
What happens to my data if I leave?
Export posts, settings and images as a ZIP from the admin. It includes a file WordPress can import (WXR).
Is my site deleted if a payment fails?
Not automatically. If payment can’t be collected, the site stays online but read-only (no editing), and after 14 days it is suspended and readers see a notice. The data is kept, and paying again brings it back.
Why invite-only?
Plikli is in early access and we are onboarding people in turn. Once we’ve read your request, we’ll email you an invite link.
