KBucket WordPress Plugin Explained
Transcript
(00:03) In this demo, we will look at our WordPress plugin, Kbucket. What is it, what are the main use cases, and how do you get started?
Let’s dive in. To learn about Kbucket, open the Products menu and select Kbucket for a full description. In essence, Kbucket is a content hub: a dedicated gallery that also powers content widgets on your website and serves as the landing page for our KChat conversational chatbots.
(00:50) All three products are integrated end to end, and we’ll see how they work together. The first use case is content widgets. Under each product description on our homepage, you’ll find a carousel. That carousel is filtered content from the content hub and is displayed under each product section.
(01:17) This example is a YouTube video. When clicked, it plays directly on the site. The second use case is Kbucket as the landing page for our KChat chatbot. The same content published to your Kbucket hub powers the knowledge base for KChat.
(01:53) That’s why KBucket works well as a KChat landing page. For example, if you ask KChat, “How can I set up KBucket?” it searches the content published on your KBucket site, then returns an answer with the right reference links to the original sources.
You can see the generated answer with three reference links. Clicking a link opens the video, this time on the content hub page. Each Kbucket popup has a dedicated URL, which lets KChat link directly to it.
(02:50) You can also share these links via the citation icon on the screen or the social share buttons below to drive traffic back to your website. Additionally, all content you publish—videos and posts added to KBucket—is crawlable by search engines.
(03:24) This helps increase qualified traffic to your website. In other words, it is optimized for SEO and local GEO relevance. Proper titles, descriptions, schema-friendly formatting, and consistent internal linking help search engines understand your topics and service areas.
(03:57) Now let’s look at the dedicated KBucket content hub page on the site, available under the Content Hub menu. It contains multiple channels and mixed content types.
“Watch now” indicates a YouTube video. “Read more” links to an article or any other web page. All content shown here is curated and edited with the Kurator app. KBucket focuses on display and discovery, while Curator is a more powerful publishing and management tool. Any updates you make in Curator automatically sync to your Kbucket site.
(04:33) Next, here’s how to install KBucket and get started. You can install KBucket directly from the WordPress plugin directory. Search for “Kbucket,” then install and activate it. After activation, you’ll see Kbucket in your WordPress sidebar. First, click the link to get your API key.
(05:00) If you are not yet registered, that link takes you to the login and registration page. Create your account. Note that this registration is separate from Kurator and KChat. After registration, you’ll receive an API key that you can enter in the plugin settings.
(05:29) Once registered, you’ll see a list of API keys. You’ll start with one key and can create additional keys for multiple sites. Add the API key in the plugin, then set up your KBucket page and connect your Kurator workspace to upload and sync content to your KBucket hub. For step‑by‑step lessons, visit the Content Gallery on our website to learn how to get started.
(05:57) You can also follow the product documentation on our Docs page. KBucket is a powerful way to showcase content on your site, centralize your research, highlight social posts, and increase on‑site engagement. It also powers your curated GPT chatbot and supports stronger SEO and local GEO visibility. Give it a try.
