How to manage sites with the WordPress Toolkit

Open your website in the Enhance control panel and choose Apps. On the WordPress application card, check the installation URL and file path, then click Toolkit.

The Toolkit’s left section navigation contains General, Plugins, Themes, Users, Single sign on, and Debug.

General

General shows the installation’s Site URL, File path, WordPress version, and Maintenance mode.

• Site URL shows the address used by WordPress for internal links and redirects. Its pencil opens Change site URL, with a Site URL field, Cancel, and Change.
• File path shows the location of the WordPress files and has a copy button.
• WordPress version shows the installed version, its status, and the selected update schedule. The example below shows All up to date.

WordPress update schedule

1. Click the pencil beside the update schedule under WordPress version.
2. In WordPress update schedule, choose Update only to minor versions, marked RECOMMENDED, or Always update to the latest available version.
3. Click Save and review any message returned by the panel. Use Cancel to close the dialog without saving.

Maintenance mode

The Maintenance mode switch has the description Let visitors know that your site is under maintenance. Use the switch to change this setting, then check its resulting state and any message displayed by the panel.

Plugins

The Plugins section shows installed plugin names, versions, and status. It also has Install, search, a plugin count, and Refresh table.

For the entries marked Inactive in this example, the available actions are Activate, Delete, and Enable auto-updates.

Install a plugin

1. Click Install in Plugins.
2. In Install plugins, use search or the All, Featured, and Popular filters to find a plugin. Page controls are available below the list.
3. Select the plugin entry you want to install.
4. Click Install at the bottom of the dialog and review the result. Use Cancel to close the dialog without installing.

The dialog also offers Install from custom URL. This opens a URL field with a plugin ZIP example and separate Cancel and Save buttons.

Themes

The Themes section has Install, search, and a count of installed and active themes. The current theme is marked Active. Inactive theme entries offer Activate; Delete and Enable auto-updates are also shown on the theme cards.

To add a theme, click Install. In Install theme, search the list, select the theme entry, then click Install and review the result. Use Cancel to leave without installing.

Users

Choose Users to move to WordPress users. The section has Add user, search, a user count, and a table with Username and Email columns.

Add a WordPress user

1. Click Add user.
2. In Add WordPress user, enter Username and Email address.
3. Enter Password. The form requires at least 10 characters, including a lowercase character, an uppercase character, a number, and a special character.
4. Review the fields, then click Add and read any message returned by the panel. Use Cancel to close the form without adding the user.

Each existing user’s row menu contains Edit, Change password, and Delete. Check the selected user before choosing an action.

Single sign on

Single sign on displays an Account. The panel explains that single sign-on logs you into the WordPress admin area without entering a username and password.

An Admin button is available on the WordPress application card and in the Toolkit header.

Debug

The Debug section contains three switches with these descriptions:

• WP_DEBUG enables WordPress debug mode.
• WP_DEBUG_LOG saves errors to wp-content/debug.log, including notices generated off-screen.
• WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY shows debug messages in the page’s HTML.

Read the description beside the setting you want to change, use its switch, and check the resulting state and any message displayed by the panel. The example below shows all three switches off.

Delete

The Toolkit has a Delete button below Debug. Check the installation URL and review any confirmation displayed by the panel before completing a deletion.
