Outline

WordPress Toolkit is a ServerAvatar add-on for managing WordPress sites from the control panel. Use WP Toolkit on each WordPress application to handle updates, plugins, themes, debugging, cron, security, performance, database search and replace, and site settings without logging into wp-admin.

The add-on includes Toolkit Management (per-application tools under WP Toolkit) and WordPress Blueprints (reusable presets when you deploy WordPress).

Getting Started

Step 1: Purchase WordPress Toolkit and confirm it shows as active on your account.

Step 2: Create a WordPress application on your server. Optionally select a WordPress Blueprint to apply themes, plugins, and site settings at install time.

Step 3: Open the application → WP Toolkit in the application panel sidebar. Start with Overview, then use the sections below for day-to-day management.

caution

You must purchase the WordPress Toolkit add-on before using WP Toolkit. If the add-on is not active, you will see a purchase prompt when opening WP Toolkit.
