Open and manage a WordPress installation
Use the application card to open WordPress Admin or the Enhance WordPress Toolkit.
Where Websites → your website → Apps
What this is for
- See the installed version and path.
- Open WordPress Admin with single sign-on.
- Launch Toolkit for maintenance tasks.
Before you start
- Confirm WordPress is installed on the selected website.
- Only use Admin single sign-on when you are authorised to enter that WordPress site.
Steps
-
1
Open Apps and find the WordPress application card.
-
2
Confirm the site URL, file path and WordPress version.
-
3
Select Admin to enter wp-admin using single sign-on.
-
4
Select Toolkit to manage core, plugins, themes, users and debug settings.
-
5
Use Scan when WordPress files exist but the application is not listed.
Check it worked
- Toolkit shows the same URL and version as the application card.
- Admin opens the correct WordPress dashboard rather than another site or a login loop.
Tip
Toolkit changes the WordPress installation from Enhance; Admin opens the WordPress dashboard itself. Check which one you need before clicking.
