The Kraken Wordpress plugin adds a Kraken.io Settings section to the bottom of the page, from where you can enter your API credentials, and select your optimization preferences. Once you have done this, click **Save**. If everything is in order, it will simply say "settings saved" and give you a reassuring green tick in the **Kraken.io settings** section.
