Requirements for your business and website for Seona to work for you

Updated over 5 months ago

Seona works with almost all websites, but here is a detailed breakdown on what Seona requires to work for you.


Preferred website providers

Seona has direct integrations with our preferred website providers:

  • WordPress*

  • Wix

  • SquareSpace

  • Shopify

For these website providers, Seona has the ability to apply code changes and post blogs automatically to your site.

WordPress*

In order for Seona to work with your Wordpress site, you will need to install the StyleAI Wordpress plugin. This means if your site is hosted on Wordpress.com, you will need at minimum a Business plan in order to install plugins.

WordPress security plugins may also affect Seona, causing issues with linking, posting blogs, etc. Here are common security plugins that block our plugin access:

  1. Perfmatters

  2. Falcon

  3. Wordfence Security plugin

If you have one of these security plugins, you can either 1. disable that plugin or 2. add a rule within them to bypass our requests. See Security providers affecting Seona below for more info.

Other website providers

For non-preferred website providers, Seona will still write quality blogs for your website, but you will have to manually transfer them onto your website.

Code changes work well for statically generated websites (vast majority of website providers), but can be finicky with custom built sites (i.e. Nuxt.js). As a result, some or all code changes may not be automatically applied to your site. This will not break your website's functionality, it will just affect Seona's ability to automatically apply the code changes.

Note: You can check if code changes are properly being applied to your site here.


Security providers affecting Seona

Security providers such as Cloudflare or Incapsula can affect Seona from working properly with your website. To allow Seona to function alongside your security provider, you have three options:

  1. Bypasses requests containing this header:

    x-styleai: 1

  2. Bypasses requests containing this User-Agent:

    User-Agent: ... StyleAI

You can configure these within the settings of your security provider. Feel free to ask your webmaster to help!

Cloudflare instructions

If your website is protected by Cloudflare, you can whitelist our IP with the following instructions:

  1. Log into Cloudflare as an Admin

  2. Select the domain of your website (under Websites)

  3. Navigate to Security -> WAF -> Custom rules and click "Create rule"

  4. Under "If incoming requests match...", fill in: Header "x-styleai" equals 1

  5. Under "Then take action...", fill in: ​Skip and check ALL the components to skip (make sure to check the components under "More components to skip")

  6. Finally, click "Deploy" and you're done!
