Managing WordPress Installations
Go to WordPress to see all your WordPress installations.
WordPress Toolkit groups information about each installation in blocks we call cards.
A card shows a screenshot of your website and features a number of controls that give you easy access to frequently used tools. The screenshot changes in real time to reflect the changes you make to your website. For example, if you turn on the maintenance mode or change the WordPress theme, the screenshot of the website will change immediately.
Note: Changes you make directly in WordPress are synchronized with
WordPress Toolkit once every 24 hours. To sync manually, click the
button.
When you move the mouse cursor over the screenshot of the website, the Open Site button appears. Click the button to open the website in a new browser tab.
Security
WordPress websites are frequently targeted by hackers. WordPress Toolkit analyzes how safe your installation is by checking the following security aspects and showing the result below the screenshot of the website:
If you see “warning” or “danger” next to one of these aspects, click “View” and fix it.
General Information
In the “General Info” section, you see the WordPress website’s title and its WordPress version. Here you can:
- Click “Change” next to the default title to give your website a custom name.
- Click “Log in” to log in to WordPress as an administrator.
- Click “Setup” next to “Log in” to change general WordPress settings.
- Click the domain name to go to the domain’s screen in Websites & Domains.
Tools
In the “Tools” section, click to access the following WordPress Toolkit features:
- “Copy Data” to copy the content of your website to another.
- “Clone” to make a full copy of your website.
- “File Manager” to manage the website’s files in File Manager.
- “Back Up / Restore” to create a backup of your website and restore it if necessary.
The controls below give you easy access to the following settings and tools:
- “Maintenance mode” hides your website’s content from visitors.
- “Password Protection” specifies the password
you will use to log in to WordPress from Plesk
Plesk Panel is the preferred choice for hosting service providers, web designers, and website owners. Plesk Obsidian 18 is the latest release from Plesk and offers a range of new benefits and features for every user type..
On the remaining three tabs you can manage the installation’s plugins, themes, and change the database username and password.
Website Labels
Website labels are preconfigured identifiers that you can give to your websites (for example, “staging”, “production”, “testing”, and so on).
Depending on your project, it might be necessary to host multiple copies of a website for various purposes. Labels will help you distinguish one website from another.
By default, a website has no label. To label it, click “ADD LABEL” (on the website card next to the website name) and select the desired label. Labels are optional and you can change or remove a label at any time.
Managing Cards View
You can choose the way WordPress Toolkit shows cards. The default
“Cards” view is best suited for a small number of installations. If you have
a large number of installations, collapse cards 
, or switch
to the “Tiles” or “List” view.
You can also Sort and Filter installations to manage them easier.
Removing and Detaching Installations
You can detach WordPress installations that you do not want to see and manage in WordPress Toolkit. Detaching does not remove the installation, merely hides it from WordPress Toolkit. A detached installation will be attached to WordPress Toolkit again after you scan for WordPress installations. You can detach WordPress installations individually or multiple installations at a time.
To detach WordPress installations:
- Go to WordPress, choose one or more installations you want to detach,
and then click the
button (to detach an individual
installation) or click Detach (to detach multiple installations). - Click Detach.
Unlike detaching, removing completely deletes a WordPress installation. You can remove any installation, no matter how it was installed: using WordPress Toolkit, through the Applications page, or manually. You can remove WordPress installations individually or multiple installations at a time.
To remove WordPress installations:
- Go to WordPress, choose one or more installations you want to remove,
and then click the button (to remove an individual
installation) or click Remove (to remove multiple installation).
- Click Remove.
Search Engine Indexing and Debugging
By default, a newly created WordPress Toolkit website is shown in search results of search engines. If your website is not yet ready for public viewing, turn off Search engine indexing.
If you are installing WordPress for testing or development, you can enable Debugging to automatically find and fix errors in the website code. To do so, click “Setup” next to “Debugging”, select the WordPress debugging tools you want to activate, and then click OK.
