After you install the CI HUB Connector Professional for WordPress, you can find and add assets from your connected DAM, PIM, MAM or cloud storage system right inside WordPress.
Add an Asset to WordPress
In WordPress, any asset you want to show on your website needs to go into the Media Library. The CI HUB Connector Professional keeps this the same, but now you can also pull in assets from your DAM, PIM, or cloud storage system straight from the Media Library.
This means you can reuse assets you already have stored elsewhere, like photos used in marketing materials or print documents, without uploading them again.
To add an asset to a page or post:
- Open the Media Library in WordPress.
- Look for the asset in your connected DAM, PIM, MAM or cloud storage system using the CI HUB Connector Professional.
- Click on the asset, then select Use File.
- If there are different renditions available, pick the size or format you want.
- Click Use, then OK, and finally Select to add the asset to your page.
The asset will be saved automatically into your WordPress Media Library and placed right where you need it.
If it has extra details attached (like a title or description), those will be copied over automatically too.
The CI HUB Connector Professional also adds some helpful extra details to each asset in your Media Library, such as:
- The asset's name
- Where it came from
- The type of asset
- Which version it is
- When it was created or last changed
- A unique ID for the asset
Note: the exact details shown can vary depending on which DAM, PIM, MAM or cloud storage system you're connected to.
Add Vector Files to WordPress
The CI HUB Connector Professional also makes it simple to use vector files, like Illustrator (.AI) or EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files.
Normally, you'd have to convert these into a JPEG or PNG before using them in WordPress. With the CI HUB Connector, you can skip that step completely.
You can add these files directly, and the system will automatically create ready-to-use renditions (like PNG or JPEG) in different sizes for you.
This means you can:
- Use your vector graphics right away in WordPress
- Avoid ending up with duplicate files
- Save time by skipping manual conversions
