Enhance includes a built-in WordPress Toolkit that makes it easy to install and manage WordPress sites.

​
Installing WordPress

You can install WordPress when creating a new website:
  1. Log in to your Enhance control panel.
  2. Click Add Website.
  3. Enter your domain name.
  4. Select the Install WordPress option.
  5. Complete the WordPress details (site title, admin username, password, and email).
  6. Click Add.
WordPress is installed automatically with your website. You can also install WordPress on an existing empty website from the website’s Applications section.

​
The WordPress Toolkit

To access the WordPress Toolkit for a site:
  1. Select the website in your Enhance control panel.
  2. Scroll to the Applications section.
  3. Click Manage next to the WordPress installation.
From the toolkit you can:
  • Log in with one click (SSO) — access wp-admin without entering credentials
  • Manage plugins and themes — install, activate, deactivate, and remove
  • Configure automatic updates — schedule updates for WordPress core, plugins, and themes
  • Create a staging site — clone your site to test changes safely before pushing to production
  • Manage maintenance mode — take your site offline temporarily while working on it
  • Change basic settings — site URL, debug mode, search engine indexing

​
Staging

Staging lets you clone your live WordPress site, test changes on the clone, and then push the changes back to production:
  1. In the WordPress Toolkit, click Create staging site.
  2. Make your changes on the staging copy.
  3. When ready, use Push to production to apply the changes to your live site.
Pushing staging to production overwrites the live site’s files and database. Make sure you have a recent backup before pushing.
