Publish Step-by-Step Tutorials Directly to WordPress

The desktop tool for WordPress documentation that captures your tutorial offline on your Mac or Windows desktop and publishes it directly to your WordPress site as a real post or page. Works with WordPress.com, self-hosted installs, and sites behind a firewall or VPN.

Why Teams Use Folge for WordPress Tutorials

1

Self-hosted, intranet, behind a firewall — all good

Most "tutorial plugins" require WordPress to be reachable from a SaaS server, which rules out internal documentation sites. Folge runs on your laptop, so it can publish to any WordPress site your computer can reach — including private, intranet, or VPN-only installs.

2

Real WordPress posts and pages

Folge publishes as real WordPress content — pick "post" for a help-center article or "page" for evergreen documentation. Screenshots are uploaded to your WordPress media library, and the published guide uses real WordPress blocks so it's fully editable in the WordPress editor afterward.

3

Local-first, secure authentication

Folge captures and edits your tutorial entirely on your computer, then publishes only the finished version. Authentication uses WordPress Application Passwords — a per-app credential that's safer than your main login and easy to revoke. No screenshots are stored on Folge servers, ever.

How to Publish a Folge Guide to WordPress

Set up takes about 2 minutes. After that, every guide is one click away from your WordPress site.

1

Connect your WordPress site

In Folge's settings, paste your WordPress URL, your username, and an Application Password generated from your WordPress profile. Application Passwords are app-specific credentials that you can revoke any time without touching your main password. Credentials are stored locally on your computer.

2

Capture the tutorial you want to publish

Click "Start Capture" and walk through the workflow — using a plugin, configuring a setting, completing a checkout. Folge takes a screenshot on every click. This step is fully offline; nothing leaves your machine.

3

Edit, blur, and annotate locally

Add titles, callouts, arrows, and step descriptions. Use blur to redact any sensitive information before anything is published. Everything happens in the desktop app.

4

Publish as a post or a page

Pick whether the tutorial should be a post (good for help-center articles or blog tutorials) or a page (good for evergreen docs). Click Publish. Folge uploads your screenshots to the WordPress media library, builds the content, and publishes it directly to your site.

Local-First Publishing to WordPress

Most documentation tools auto-upload your screenshots to their cloud the moment you click. Folge is different. Guides are captured and edited entirely on your computer — only the final published version travels to your WordPress instance, sent directly from your machine. No third-party cloud middleman, no vendor lock-in for your raw captures, and no compliance grey area.

Air-gapped capture

Capture and edit guides on a laptop with no internet at all. Publish to WordPress later, only when you're ready.

GDPR-compliant by design

Your screenshots and guide data never leave your computer until you choose to publish. Folge servers never see them.

Self-hosted friendly

WordPress sites behind a firewall, on a corporate intranet, or on staging environments are usually unreachable from cloud-only documentation tools. Because Folge runs locally on your laptop, it can publish anywhere your computer can.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Folge work with WordPress sites on a private network or VPN?

Yes. Folge runs locally on your laptop and publishes directly from your machine, so it works with internal WordPress installs that public SaaS tools simply cannot reach. Intranet sites, VPN-only sites, staging environments — all fine, as long as your computer can reach them.

Are my screenshots ever uploaded to Folge's servers before going to WordPress?

No. Folge captures, processes, and stores screenshots entirely on your computer. When you publish, your guide travels from your machine directly to your WordPress site. Folge never sees your screenshots — there is no third-party cloud middleman. More on Folge's offline-first architecture →

Can I publish as a WordPress page instead of a post?

Yes. Folge lets you choose per guide whether to publish as a post (good for blog-style tutorials and help-center articles) or as a page (good for evergreen documentation, knowledge bases, and product help).

What's an Application Password and why does Folge use one?

Application Passwords are app-specific credentials you generate from your WordPress profile (Users → Profile → Application Passwords). They let Folge publish on your behalf without ever knowing your main WordPress password, and you can revoke them any time without changing your login. Folge stores the Application Password locally on your computer.

Can I update an existing WordPress post instead of creating a new one?

Yes. Folge remembers which WordPress post or page each guide was last published to. The next time you export, you can update that post in place — keeping its URL, comments, and SEO history — or create a fresh one somewhere else.

Does Folge work with WordPress sites that use self-signed certificates?

Yes. Folge has an option to ignore certificate errors for internal staging or development environments, so you can publish to a WordPress install that doesn't have a public SSL certificate.

What if I don't want to publish directly — can I export to a file instead?

Yes. Folge also exports to 9 file formats — including HTML you can paste into the WordPress editor — all generated locally on your computer.
