WordPress Toolkit

The WordPress Toolkit provides centralized management for all WordPress installations on the server. It enables installation, updates, security scans, automatic login and much more.


Overview

The WordPress Toolkit displays all detected WordPress installations as cards with thumbnail previews:

Information Description

Path Installation path relative to the document root
WordPress Version Installed WP version
PHP Version PHP version in use
SSL SSL status
Auto-Update Automatic update status

Note

Each WordPress installation is counted as a full website.

The system automatically performs:

  • Download of the latest WordPress version
