WordPress Toolkit
WordPress Toolkit (WPTK) is a single management interface that enables you to easily install, configure, and manage WordPress. You can access the WPTK in your cPanel Admin Portal at https://cpanel.[Your.Domain] and scroll down to Domains > Wordpress Tool Kit. Some of the functions available include:
Installing or importing WordPress installations
Managing Wordpress installations
Search engine indexing and debugging
Updating Wordpress installations
Backing up and Restoring WordPress Installations
One of our favorite new WPTK functions is Smart Updates.
Smart Updates
To ensure a WordPress installation is always updated safely without breaking your website, the Smart Updates feature does the following:
- Clones the installation, and then analyses the clone and takes screenshots of the website’s pages (including dynamic content and carousels).
- Updates the clone, analyses it again, and then takes screenshots of the website’s pages again.
- Detects issues (PHP issues, HTTP response code errors, changed page titles, and others): not only those the update can cause but also those that existed before the update.
With manual updates, Smart Updates shows you the “before” and “after” screenshots and the forecast whether it is safe to update or not. Here you can compare the screenshots, see and download the detailed report about the found issues, and then decide whether to update the production website or not.
With autoupdates, Smart Updates automatically updates the production website unless there is at least one issue caused by the update. Otherwise the update is not performed and you receive an email with the results of analysis and the “before” and “after” screenshots.
Please NOTE: We are still in the process of updating servers and your hosting server may not have WPTK installed yet. Please let us know if you would like the application available and we'll accelerate your server upgrade.
We hope you examine these new capabilities and let us know if you have any questions.
