# Getting Started: Thinkific SSO & WordPress

[How To Login Into Thinkific from WordPress](https://www.youtube.com/embed/_Eey6xaqFms?feature=oembed)

To start, you’ll need to ensure you have the following plugins installed and active:

- Thinkific SSO for WordPress by WooNinja

**Important: ***Prior to purchase, ensure that [your Thinkific account ](https://www.thinkific.com/pricing/comparison/)supports Single Sign On (SSO)*

**Top Tip: **[Looking for examples of the shortcode in action? Click here.](https://www.wooninja.io/2019/11/23/thinkific-sso-shortcode/)

When you are ready to start, your installed and active plugins should include the Thinkific SSO for WordPress plugin:

![thinific sso getting started](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinific-sso-getting-started-1600x539.png)

Click **Settings**, then **Thinkific SSO**:

Enter your WooNinja license key, then click **Save Changes**. Once the page has refreshed, click **Activate License**

We must now retrieve your Thinkific Domain and API Key. To start, open your Instructor Dashboard in Thinkific.

Click **Settings**, then **Code & Analytics** and finally **API**

![thinkific wordpress api key](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinkific-wordpress-api-key-1600x810.png)

Copy your API Key and your sub-domain, followed by .thinkfic.com to your settings in WordPress. It should look similar to this when you are ready:

![thinkific wordpress api saved](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinkific-wordpress-api-saved-1600x1339.png)

Click** Save Changes**

Congrats! You are now ready to use our shortcode! As a quick example, open a post and enter the following:[thinkific_sso]

Your content should look similar to this:

![thinkific wordpress basic page](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinkific-wordpress-basic-page-1600x523.png)

Click **Publish** (or Preview), then open the new post you just created. You will see an output similar to the below:

![thinkific wordpress basic link](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/thinkific-wordpress-basic-link-1600x632.png)
