WordPress
Install WordPress and manage its updates, plugins, themes and access.
Where to find it: Open the account and choose WordPress.
Available to: The account owner, their reseller or the server administrator. Availability depends on the hosting plan and installed services.
What this page does
Use it for routine WordPress account management without granting server-wide access. SHM runs supported actions as the account identity and validates the selected site path under that account.
Before you start
Take a current backup before core, plugin, theme, administrator, recovery, or removal changes. Confirm the exact site path—an account can host several WordPress installations, all equally convinced they are the important one.
Site actions
| Area | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Discovery and install | Find in your account sites and install WordPress through the supported account workflow. |
| Updates | Review or run supported core, plugin, and theme updates, including the configured daily automatic policy. |
| Plugins and themes | List, activate, deactivate, switch, and manage the supported installed items. |
| Administrators | Review and manage supported WordPress administrator accounts. |
| Maintenance, debug, and cache | Toggle supported maintenance/debug behavior and clear WordPress cache. |
| Recovery packs | Run limited safe-recovery, debug-recovery, plugin-disable, or theme-fallback workflows. |
| Remove | Remove the selected WordPress installation according to the confirmation and file policy shown by the page. |
Official plugin and theme installation
You can also install official WordPress plugins and themes through the API. Use the name listed in the WordPress.org directory; these actions do not install arbitrary uploaded packages or packages from other websites. See the User API reference for the required fields.
Recovery packs
Recovery packs are explicit, limited actions for one in your account site. Review the selected pack and optional plugin or theme target first, then test the public site and administrator login. They are recovery tools, not a reason to skip a backup.
How to use it
- Select the detected site path or complete a supported installation.
- Run a backup and review current site health.
- Choose one service control and read its target.
- Wait for a final SHM result.
- Test the public site, administrator login, scheduled behavior, and relevant logs.
- Keep the backup until the customer accepts the result.
Updates, administrators, and recovery
Rescan detects installations; it does not install another copy. For an existing site, manage core, plugins, and themes independently or choose Update All. Daily auto-update controls are separate for core, plugins, and themes. Take a current backup before updates and test the site afterwards.
The site dialog also provides administrator listing/password reset, maintenance mode, debug mode, cache clearing, Safe Recovery, Debug Recovery, and fallback-theme controls. Use a recovery action for a specific diagnosed problem and recheck the site before leaving debugging enabled. Removing files is a distinct destructive action.
Result and next check
The selected in your account site reflects the requested WordPress change and remains reachable from both its public URL and administrator workflow. SHM records the supported operation; WordPress and application tests prove the site still works.
