WordPress Manager: every site under control in one place

Update plugins, manage users, create a staging copy or log in to wp-admin with one click. Our WordPress Manager is included in every WordPress hosting plan and saves you time on every site.

  • Plugins, themes, users and updates

Less clicking, more doing

Manage WordPress without logging in to every dashboard

Running several WordPress websites usually means logging in to each admin area separately, checking for updates one by one and repeating the same tasks again and again. Our WordPress Manager brings these routine jobs together in our control panel.

From one overview you can see the state of each installation, keep plugins and themes up to date, manage user accounts and jump into wp-admin whenever you need to. Whether you run one blog or dozens of websites in your plan, the WordPress Manager keeps things organised.

  • Central overview of your WordPress installations
  • Routine tasks done in a few clicks
  • Included in every WordPress hosting plan

Features

What you can do with our WordPress Manager

The most important WordPress administration tasks – directly in our control panel.

Plugins

Install, activate, deactivate, update and remove plugins without opening the WordPress dashboard.

Themes

Switch, update and delete themes and keep your design files tidy and current.

Users and admin users

Add users, change roles and manage administrator accounts – helpful if someone has lost access.

Updates

Keep core, plugins and themes up to date. Automatic core updates help you stay on a secure version.

Admin quick link

Jump straight into wp-admin with a single click from the control panel, without searching for login details.

Site settings

Change basic settings such as the site title or address without having to edit configuration files.

Staging and cloning

Test changes safely with WordPress staging

Updating a theme, installing a new plugin or redesigning a page on your live site is risky. With WordPress staging you create a copy of your website, try out changes in peace and only publish them when everything works.

One-click cloning lets you duplicate a complete WordPress site – handy for starting a new project from a proven setup or for creating a test copy before a major update.

  • Separate staging copy of your website
  • Push tested changes live
  • Clone entire sites with one click

Tools for experts

Advanced tools for maintenance and troubleshooting

Search & replace

Change a domain, switch from HTTP to HTTPS or correct a recurring term across the entire database – safely and without manual SQL.

Core checksum report

Compare your WordPress core files with the official versions. Modified files are highlighted, which helps to detect tampering or malware.

Reinstall WordPress

If core files are damaged, reinstall the WordPress core while keeping your content, themes and plugins.

Database tools

Access and manage the WordPress database, with phpMyAdmin available in the control panel for detailed work.

Questions about the WordPress Manager

Is the WordPress Manager included in my plan?
Yes. The WordPress Manager is included in every WordPress hosting plan at CheapTopHost – Small, Business and Unlimited – together with WordPress staging and one-click cloning.
Do I still need to log in to wp-admin?
For content work such as writing posts you will still use the WordPress dashboard. Routine administration like updates, plugins and users can be handled in the WordPress Manager, and the admin quick link takes you straight into wp-admin when needed.
What is the core checksum report?
The report compares your WordPress core files with the official originals. Any file that has been changed is flagged, which helps you spot tampering or problems caused by malware.
Can I use search & replace safely?
Search & replace is designed for WordPress databases and handles typical tasks such as changing a domain. We still recommend creating a backup before larger changes so you can return to the previous state.
What happens if I lose access to my admin account?
You can manage administrator users in the WordPress Manager, for example create a new admin account or change an existing one, and then log in again.
Can I move an existing WordPress site to you?
Yes. We offer free migrations and move your existing websites for you. Afterwards you can manage them with the WordPress Manager right away.
