+# WordPress Admin Access Instructions
+
+## Current Status
+
+The Zoho CRM integration has been successfully deployed to the staging server. The HVAC Community Events plugin is active and the files are in place.
+
+## Issues Resolved
+
+1. **Removed backup plugins**: The duplicate HVAC plugin directories have been removed
+2. **Updated menu registration**: Changed from Settings submenu to top-level menu
+3. **Fixed admin interface**: Added main menu page for HVAC Community Events
+
+## How to Access the Admin Interface
+
+1. Go to: https://wordpress-974670-5399585.cloudwaysapps.com/wp-admin/
+2. Login with your admin credentials
+3. After login, you should see in the sidebar:
+   - **HVAC Community Events** (main menu)
+   - Under it: **Settings** and **Zoho CRM Sync**
+
+## Expected Menu Structure
+
+```
+HVAC Community Events    [icon]
+├── Settings
+└── Zoho CRM Sync
+```
+
+## Zoho CRM Sync Page
+
+When you click on "Zoho CRM Sync", you should see:
+
+1. **Staging Mode Banner** (blue info box):
+   - Current site: https://wordpress-974670-5399585.cloudwaysapps.com
+   - Message: "Staging mode is active. Data sync will be simulated only."
+
+2. **Connection Status** section:
+   - Test Connection button
+
+3. **Data Sync** section:
+   - Events → Campaigns
+   - Users → Contacts  
+   - Purchases → Invoices
+   - Each with a "Sync" button
+
+4. **Sync Settings** section:
+   - Enable automatic sync checkbox
+   - Sync frequency dropdown
+
+## What Happens in Staging Mode
+
+- All sync operations are simulated
+- No data is sent to Zoho CRM
+- You'll see a preview of what would be synced
+- Test data shows first 5 records only
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you don't see the menu:
+
+1. Try refreshing the page (Ctrl+F5)
+2. Log out and log back in
+3. Clear browser cache
+4. Check if the plugin is still active in Plugins page
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Complete OAuth setup using the guide
+2. Test the connection
+3. Try sync operations to see simulated results
+4. Review the test data preview
+
+The integration is now ready for testing. All operations are safe in staging mode.
