Lovable is one of the easiest ways for a non-technical person to build a real website and fine-tune it with nothing but a chat box. You describe what you want, it appears, and you keep refining until it looks right. The hard part isn't building anymore — it's the next question: how do I get this onto WordPress?

If you bought a domain that came bundled with WordPress hosting, or you just know WordPress as "the place websites live," putting your Lovable site there feels natural. This guide walks through exactly how to do it — in plain English, end to end — so your Lovable site ends up live on your own WordPress hosting and keeps updating itself as you keep editing.

Why put a Lovable site on WordPress at all?

Lovable can host your site for you, and it can connect a custom domain. But a lot of people never go that route, usually for one of these reasons:

They didn't realize Lovable offers hosting, or that it can point a domain at the site for them.
DNS settings are genuinely confusing, and pointing a domain feels risky when you're not sure what you're changing.
They already pay for WordPress hosting (often bundled free with a domain) and don't want a second monthly bill just to serve a website.

If any of those sound like you, the goal is simple: keep building in Lovable, but serve the finished site from the WordPress hosting you already own. That's exactly what Parkstatic does.

What you'll need first

There are only two real prerequisites, and most people considering this already have both:

An existing WordPress site. Any self-hosted WordPress install where you can add a plugin. This is the hosting that will serve your site.
A free GitHub account. GitHub is where your Lovable project's code lives. The free tier is more than enough — you don't need to know how to use it.

The good first step is to get started with Parkstatic. After you buy, you'll receive your license key, the plugin file, and an installation guide by email — everything you need to start.

Step 1 — Build your site in Lovable

If you haven't built your site yet, start on the Lovable homepage. You can write your first prompt there for free. Once you're happy and want to keep going, Lovable asks you to create an account — from there it's easy to keep building and fine-tuning the site until it looks exactly how you want.

Get the site to a state you'd be comfortable showing people. You don't have to make it perfect — you can keep editing later, and every change will flow through to WordPress automatically once everything is connected.

Step 2 — Install the Parkstatic plugin on WordPress

Using the file from your purchase email, install the Parkstatic plugin on your WordPress site and activate it with your license key. The installation guide that came with your purchase covers this part click by click.

As soon as it's active, the plugin opens its onboarding. The very first step it shows you is connect a GitHub repo. Leave that tab open — you'll come back to it in a moment.

Step 3 — Connect Lovable to GitHub

Now hop back to Lovable and connect your project to GitHub. Lovable's own guide walks through it here: Connect Lovable to GitHub. You authorize Lovable's GitHub app, and Lovable creates a repository for your project.

Once it's connected, Lovable gives you the GitHub repository URL for your project. Copy it — that's the link you'll paste into the WordPress plugin.

Step 4 — Paste the repo URL into the plugin

Back in the Parkstatic onboarding in WordPress, paste the GitHub repository URL you just copied into the "connect a GitHub repo" step. This is what links your Lovable project to your WordPress site.

Step 5 — Add the secret and commit the Parkstatic action

From here the plugin guides you through two small tasks:

Add a GitHub secret. The plugin gives you a token (PARKSTATIC_SECRET) to paste into your GitHub repository's secrets. This is what lets the build securely deliver to your WordPress site.
Commit the Parkstatic action. The plugin provides the workflow file that tells GitHub how to build your site. You add it to the repository exactly as shown.

Both steps are spelled out in the onboarding, with the exact values to copy and where they go.

Step 6 — Let it build, then launch with one click

The moment the action is committed, the build starts automatically. When it finishes successfully, your site is delivered to WordPress and waiting for you in the plugin — ready to launch with one click.

Bonus: favicon and metadata, straight from WordPress

The plugin also lets you override the favicon and the metadata of your Lovable project right from the WordPress plugin settings — the little browser-tab icon, the page title, and the description that shows up when your site is shared or indexed. No need to dig through code; set it once in WordPress.

Keep editing in Lovable — WordPress keeps up

This is the part people love: once you're deployed, nothing about your workflow changes. You still open your site in Lovable and keep editing it with AI exactly like before. Every change you make is pushed to WordPress automatically in the background.

Because each build takes about a minute, give it a short moment after editing before checking the live site. The plugin's "last deploy" timestamp tells you when the most recent version went out.

Ready to deploy your Lovable site?

If you've got a WordPress site and a free GitHub account, you're already most of the way there. Grab Parkstatic, install the plugin, and follow the onboarding — most people are live in about fifteen minutes.
