Your website

Plugin settings

The four tabs on the HaulHQ screen in WordPress: Connection, Shortcodes, Styling and Cache.

This applies to both workflows

What are the two workflows?

The plugin adds one HaulHQ screen to your WordPress admin, with four tabs.

Connection

Your API key, and a Test Connection button that reports your company name back if it works. Get the key from Settings > WordPress in HaulHQ -- use the copy button, since a hand-selected key is often truncated and fails identically to a wrong one.

Shortcodes

Every shortcode with a copy button, its attributes, and a live preview builder. It documents the same attributes and defaults as this site -- both are checked against the plugin code on every build, so they cannot disagree.

Styling

Colors and fonts for the rendered blocks, so they match your theme rather than looking bolted on.

Cache

The plugin caches what it fetches from HaulHQ so your pages stay fast. If you changed something in HaulHQ and your site has not caught up, clear the cache here. That is the answer to almost every "my change did not show up" question.

Common mistakes

"I updated my catalog and the website still shows the old prices."

Clear the cache on this tab, or wait for it to expire.

"Test Connection fails and I am sure the key is right."

Copy it again using the copy button in HaulHQ. Truncation is the usual cause.
