Quick start: Let the AI build your webinar with you — no manual needed · live demo webinars below

Three ways to start

However you like to work, WebinarIgnition meets you there. The same webinar, three doors, and you can switch at any time.

1. Let the AI write it on the web — no install, nothing to set up: open the AI Webinar Writer, describe what you do, and get your webinar plan.
2. Install the free plugin — WebinarIgnition from WordPress.org, with an assistant working right in your dashboard.
3. Connect your own AI over MCP — point Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP-capable tool at mcp.webinarignition.com.

The full story is further down: Three ways to start.

Who is this for?

You know your subject. You are not a funnel builder. That is exactly the gap WebinarIgnition closes. And the test is not how many features it has, but how the person on the other side feels at every step.

• Coaches, course creators and consultants who have the knowledge but not the funnel: registration page, reminder emails, the room, the offer, the replay. Built with you by the AI, so you launch on your message, not on an empty settings page. No agency invoice, no five tools that do not talk to each other.
• WooCommerce shops where traffic comes and goes without buying: sell inside the webinar room while attention is warm. Checkout, subscriptions and upsells without sending the buyer off the page.
• Agencies who rebuild every client funnel from zero: one repeatable way, in 26 languages, in hours instead of days. More clients, better margin.
• EU/DACH hosts who do not want their participants’ data in a US cloud: everything stays on your WordPress, on your hosting.

And the one who decides whether it worked is not you. It is your attendee. From the invite to the confirmation, the calendar, the reminders, the countdown, the room, the offer and the replay, every step is built so a normal person can follow it without thinking. When your attendee feels good, the webinar sells itself. That is what we optimise for.

How pricing works (no surprises)

Unlimited live, automated, and evergreen webinars with unlimited attendees, no time limit, no demo mode. There are no per-attendee fees and no seat tiers: your price never jumps because one webinar did unusually well. Other platforms lock you into a high monthly tier all year even if you only fill the room once.

Plus ($99/mo) is for when you want to sell inside the room (WooCommerce and other checkouts), need built-in live video, and unlock individual leads and automations. Same flat plugin price whether you host a small group or a packed session. You only pay for the streaming you actually use. No success-tax: your price does not grow because your list or your audience grows.

We like that idea so much that we bundle it. Plus VIP includes Groundhogg Pro (1 site) for email automation with flat-rate pricing (around $50/mo no matter how big your list grows), instead of the per-contact pricing most email platforms charge.

Real hosts, real results

Felix, an agency in Hamburg, ran a seven-hour symposium live — 19 May 2026, 10:00–17:00 CET — in German and English, with the language switched live inside the webinar room. About 600 people registered, and more than 100 questions were asked and answered in two-way chat, directly in the room. What stayed with him was the language switch: he would otherwise have rebuilt it as a separate page — another piece that does not fit together. Instead the whole thing lived in one room.

Viktor, an agency in Spain, runs protected press releases for a bicycle manufacturer in eight languages from a single setup.

Daniela shows what the plugin is really for: not five plugins that do not talk to each other, but registration, reminders and tracking connected in one place, so the webinar carries the message instead of the toolchain.

What they have in common, and what we build for: make everything connectable, worked the way that suits you, at a fair price. And let AI carry what you cannot do well. The writing, the lead capture, the landing page, the technical setup, holding the webinar, the reminders. You bring the idea. The plugin takes the rest off your hands.

The stream ran through an EU-hosted provider for GDPR/DSGVO-compliant hosting in Germany and Europe, not a US-only stack. Registrations, calendar entries, and reminder emails all ran on WebinarIgnition, on the client’s own site.

During the event, our live-update service (hosted in Frankfurt) sends instant signals to every screen: a new CTA, a new question, your answer, a status change. So your WordPress site does not have to reload over and over. All registrations, chat, and attendee data stay on your WordPress site, where your hosting already is. The helper does not store that data. Available on every plan, including free.

New: WebinarIgnition builds the webinar with you

You probably do not wake up excited to write registration copy and reminder emails. Or to hunt down where in the settings the date lives. Or to work out why a page looks broken. That is exactly the job the AI assistant takes off your hands.

Describe the webinar you want, in plain words. Or let it ask you. It finds the topic with you, writes your invitation and reminder texts, builds the registration page, sets the dates and the schedule, points the live room at the right video source, keeps your colours readable, and answers your technical questions along the way. You read and change every line afterwards. You just never start from a blank page.

Available on every plan, including free. 26 languages included, more on request, best quality powered by AI.

There are three ways to let it work for you. Pick the one that fits how you already work, and see Three ways to start below. The easiest entry: open the AI Webinar Writer and describe your webinar.

Free: AI Connector (MCP)

Connect an AI assistant to your WordPress site. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP-capable tools all work. Then build your webinars from that chat.

Here the assistant is both writer and doer. It can reach into the running plugin and create and update webinars while you watch it happen: registration pages, emails, dates, settings, colours. You read and edit every line afterwards, the same way as with the AI writer above. What an assistant can do depends on the assistant and its plan.

It works on ordinary hosting. It also works when your site cannot be reached from outside, for example behind a bot wall, a firewall, or shared hosting that blocks incoming requests. Your site then reaches the connector itself and polls for work. No inbound access is needed, and nothing on your host has to change.

You find it under WebinarIgnition > AI connection (the same connection panel is on the Settings screen). Connecting needs an administrator account. Free on every plan.

Three ways to start

The point of all three is the same. You should not have to build the webinar alone. Pick the door that fits you today. You can switch at any time, and nothing is locked in.

1. The AI Webinar Writer on the web. No install, nothing to set up. Open the AI Webinar Writer, describe what you do, and it finds the topic, writes the texts and hands you a finished webinar plan. Then hand it over to your WordPress.
2. Install the free plugin. Add WebinarIgnition from WordPress.org (Plugins > Add New > search “WebinarIgnition”). Inside the plugin an assistant works right in your dashboard. You type the change, it makes it and confirms. Same AI, now connected to the real webinar.
3. Connect your own AI over MCP. Point Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-capable tool at mcp.webinarignition.com. Here your own AI is both writer and doer and can reach into the plugin directly. It works even behind a firewall.

In short: the web writer plans and writes, the in-plugin assistant builds your webinar on your site, and MCP does both through the AI tool you already use. Start where you stand.

26 languages out of the box. Every language on request. Best quality powered by AI.

GDPR & Privacy

All registration and attendee data stays on your own server. Registration confirms the contact by email. Whether you additionally run double opt-in inside WebinarIgnition at sign-up, or later in your email-marketing provider, is your choice. Forms include consent fields and compliance options for EU/DACH. No participant data is sent to external services without your explicit configuration.

4.26.2, 25 October 2026

• Who is in the room and the cadence of a series survive a turn again. Release 4.25.1 announced both facts, and the 4.26.1 build went out with the list of known facts without them, so a turn could lose them once more. Both are on the list again.

4.26.1, 25 October 2026

• A webinar built in the chat answers in seconds. A full build was measured at 46 seconds on a host whose PHP workers were cold and whose cache is purged per page, and no chat client waits that long. The create now writes the campaign, its main page and its settings in the request and returns, while the pages are finished in the background. The wp-admin wizard, the import and the assistant panel keep the single-step build, because there a finished campaign is expected when the call returns.
• A card shows which step the build is on. A status read names the running step out of seven, how far the build has come and, once two steps are measured, how long the rest will take. Before that it says the duration is still open instead of guessing a number, and a build that stops moving says so and names the dashboard link. Where cron is switched off or loopback is blocked, every status read advances exactly one step, so progress never waits on a scheduler.
• A second run creates no second page. Every step looks for the page it would create and reuses it, and the last step reads back the page ids it wrote. A build whose pages were lost runs again instead of reporting itself finished.
• The site keeps the channel you really came through. A visit to our landing page can no longer store its own visit id in your site as the channel it was reached through. Only a real channel name is written, and only the first one, so the source of a site stays readable.

4.25.1 — 25 October 2026

• The ChatGPT button now opens the entry, not an empty directory. It pointed at the plugins directory page; it opens the WebinarIgnition entry, and a host without the app gets a short first-contact screen.
• The assistant keeps the room and the cadence. Who is in the room and how an evergreen series is spread are on the list of known facts now, so a turn cannot lose them.

4.25.0 — 22 October 2026

Only your own browser counts as a test, so a real registrant can no longer drop out of your numbers. Host visits used to be recognised by address as well as by browser, and an address is shared by an office, a carrier or a VPN. On 30 September that moved seven real registrants of one campaign into the self-test bucket at once, and the dashboard showed one registration instead of eight. From now on a registration is marked as a test only when the registering browser carries the seed itself. Your own rehearsal attendance also stays beside your real numbers instead of inside them, and the “Remove admin statistics” button still clears it on request.

Imagine clicking the link in your invitation and landing on a page that speaks a different language than the invitation you just read. That is what used to happen: the invitation was written in the webinar’s language, the participant pages were not, so the required-fields hint and the privacy text could arrive in your WordPress site’s language instead. Today every participant page speaks the language of the webinar, on pages built long ago as well as on new ones. A one-click registration keeps the timezone of the person who clicked, and a mail read as plain text carries its links as readable addresses — the button’s words followed by the address it goes to.

Imagine asking only for a new date and finding your approved invitation texts overwritten by an automatic copy run. That is gone: the date, the time and the time zone are written on their own, and the moment a fact changes the assistant names the places where it shows up and asks what should be re-written before anything is touched. A note you gave it can be reworded or struck, invitation texts arrive as a proposal first, and every change can be taken back several steps. On the participant side the card field on a paid webinar is readable again, the privacy checkbox is a box you can tick, and “Quote” works on a phone. When you read your talk out loud, the teleprompter marks each word it recognised and follows your voice instead of jumping.

See it in motion — four short videos, about two minutes each:

4.24.1

Three fixes on the participant side. The Stripe card field on a paid webinar is readable again — field, amount and the “Powered by Stripe” line in the page’s own colours, on the classic templates too — and a declined card now says so where you can see it. The privacy checkbox on a dark registration page is a box you can read, lined up with the fields. And the frontend agent’s “Quote” button appears on a phone while you mark text, sits above the input field, and names the agent reply the quote came from.

4.24.0

This release is about keeping your approved wording. Changing a date now writes only the date, the time and the time zone, and the assistant shows you which places a changed fact touches and lets you pick what gets re-written — nothing is written before you confirm. Notes you gave it can be reworded or struck, invitation texts are shown as a proposal before they are stored, and text inside a WebinarIgnition block is changed through the field behind it. Every change can be taken back several steps, with a readable list and “Restore this version” per entry.

4.22.4

The teleprompter is available on every install — no switch, no staging-only build — in the Live Console tab and as the strip in the webinar room. It glides along with your voice instead of hopping from word to word, keeps your current sentence at the top so you can read ahead, and shows under the script what the voice recognition heard, with a small meter. Width, height and text size are yours and are remembered; on a phone it reduces to Start and Pause so you still see your audience.

Breaking changes (please read before upgrading)

1. Skip thank-you page removed — The old “skip thank-you page” setting is gone. Instant-access registrations go straight to the live room; date-based registrations always show the thank-you page first. If you previously skipped the thank-you page, attendees will see it again after updating.
2. Old [wi_webinar] shortcode removed — Use the Gutenberg block shortcode or the registration shortcodes instead.
3. Gutenberg block shortcode only on Gutenberg webinars — On classic hardcoded registration pages, the Gutenberg block shortcode is hidden on purpose so the form does not appear twice.
4. Internal naming cleanup — One internal page-type label was renamed. Your pages and settings migrate automatically the first time an admin logs in after updating; nothing you edited by hand should break.

Milestones (December 2025 → June 2026)

• Dec 2025 — AI Wizard + Gutenberg registration templates; dashboard quick-start videos.
