Managing the WordPress - Toolkit view

On this page, you can manage all the features of all WordPress installations installed on the same customer account in the future:

• You can access WordPress's own admin view directly from the "Log In" link. If you need to change a forgotten WordPress admin username or password, this can also be easily done from the same place via the Setup link (the change must be made e.g. with the All-in-One WP Migration plugin after importing content for login to work this way).
  
  
• You can edit the site name from the pencil icon (in the example 'Pulla uunissa' - Bun in the oven). Changes made in this view also extend into WordPress. With the Label button, you can also mark different WordPress installations according to different purposes for easier identification.
  
  
• From the WordPress Toolkit view, you'll find links to disk space file management under the Dashboard tab, as well as guided operations such as 'Copy Data', which allows you to copy a site from one of your WordPress installations to another if desired, 'Clone', which allows you to make a copy of the entire WordPress installation to another domain or subdomain located on the same customer account. (The use of cloning and copying functions is covered in more detail in our staging guide). With the 'Backup/Restore' function, you can quickly take a backup of this WordPress and restore it (recommended to always do before updates).
  
  
• Using the buttons shown below, you can turn on or off if desired:
  
  - Search engine indexing, so search engines won't list the site in search results at this stage. This is useful especially when the site is in development or if it's a staging site.
  
  - Debugging mode (dev mode), when you need to investigate technical problems related to the WordPress installation.
  
  - Password protection for a public WordPress site, for example during site construction or updates (alternative to maintenance mode) or to implement a non-public site.
  
  - Replacing WordPress scheduled wp-cron.php tasks with more efficient scheduled tasks (crontab) run through the server.
  
  - Smart Update is available in our SmartWP web hostings and WordPress updates happen function-tested and safely with our Smart Updates technology.
  
  - Maintenance mode, which blocks access to the site with a separate WordPress maintenance mode page. You can edit the maintenance mode page visible to the outside from next to the Maintenance mode button under 'Setup', where you can edit the page content, announcements, links and set a countdown timer counting down to the site's publication time.
  
  
• You can see more detailed explanations for each of these functions by hovering your mouse cursor over the question mark icon for each item.
  
  
• You can also install desired plugins or themes from the tool's tabs and selectively enable and disable them. Management this way is faster than from WordPress's own admin view, and you can also easily solve problems caused by plugin incompatibility this way.
  
  
• From Security you can click the link 'Check Security' to tighten security settings on your WordPress installation if you want to further improve WordPress security. We recommend this function only for advanced WordPress users.
  
  
• From Check for updates you can manually perform WordPress updates to your site.
  
  
• Through the top 'Tools' menu, you can also perform various actions as follows: With the Scan function, you can search for manually installed WordPress installations found in your web hosting disk space and link them to be managed in WordPress Toolkit. With the Detach function, you can remove the link between the WordPress installation and WordPress Toolkit if desired, after which the WordPress installation is managed as a manually installed application. With the Remove function, you can remove the entire installation.

NOTE! If you later want to remove an application installed this way, it must be done in this view by clicking 'Remove'. Never delete applications installed through the control panel directly from disk space (or their databases), because this corrupts the installation (the Plesk control panel cannot know if you have manually deleted application files)
