It covers setting up Hostinger web hosting (with an affiliate coupon), installing WordPress and the Solace theme, using the Elementor page builder, and connecting Claude Desktop to WordPress via the Novamind MCP plugin. The video demonstrates using Claude to generate page sections, mega menus, entire real estate websites, and SEO optimization with the RankMath plugin, plus using ChatGPT and image/video AI tools to enhance visuals. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I connect Claude Desktop to my WordPress website using MCP? Install the Novamind plugin on WordPress, enable AI abilities in its configuration, then in Claude Desktop go to Settings > Connectors > Add > Custom Connector, paste the connector name and remote MCP server URL from Novamind, click Connect, and authorize the connection while logged into the WordPress site. Set permissions to 'always allow' to avoid repeated approval prompts. _daily.dev helps developers wiring up MCP integrations track new plugin releases and setup gotchas as they emerge._ ### Can Claude Skills teach Claude how to use a specific WordPress theme or page builder like Elementor? Yes, a Claude Skill can be created that teaches Claude how to convert HTML into native Elementor elements or how to build custom headers and footers for a specific theme like Solace. Skills are uploaded in Claude Desktop settings and typically require several rounds of testing and correction, often taking multiple hours, before they perform reliably. _developers experimenting with claude skills for design tooling can follow workflow tips like this on daily.dev._ ### Which page builder should I disable when setting up a new WordPress site with Elementor? Deactivate Elementor's Atomic Editor when setting up a new site, since it is aimed at developers rather than typical website builders and can complicate the basic drag-and-drop workflow. Sticking with Elementor's standard features avoids unnecessary complexity for non-developer users building with themes like Solace. _anyone weighing elementor configuration choices can compare approaches like this on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#wordpress](https://daily.dev/tags/wordpress), [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp), [#claude](https://daily.dev/tags/claude) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/the-ultimate-claude-ai-wordpress-tutorial-for-2026-4ovso2v6q) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"The Ultimate Claude AI + WordPress Tutorial for 2026","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-ultimate-claude-ai-wordpress-tutorial-for-2026-4ovso2v6q","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-ultimate-claude-ai-wordpress-tutorial-for-2026-4ovso2v6q"},"datePublished":"2026-09-02T23:26:32.048Z","dateModified":"2026-09-02T23:26:56.815Z","description":"A long-form tutorial walks through building and customizing WordPress websites using Claude AI, MCP connections, and Claude Skills.
