WordPress Manager
Keep your WordPress work in view.
Bring useful WordPress administration tools into your hosting account, alongside the staging and cloning features included in our listed WordPress plans.
The practical picture
A clearer place to look after your site.
WordPress Manager is part of the 20i hosting platform behind Defined’s WordPress plans. It brings administration tools for your installation into the hosting control panel, helping you organise routine website work.
Prepare changes carefully
Combine management tools with a staging copy and a backup. Check changes to themes and plugins before relying on them on the live website.
Keep responsibility clear
Know who owns updates, user access and testing. A useful control panel supports maintenance; it does not automatically provide a maintenance contract.
The details that matter
A clearer view of the maintenance work.
Know which sites need attention
Keep a record of the sites you manage, their owners and the important plugins or integrations. Grouping administration tools is useful when the responsibilities behind them are equally clear.
Review before a bulk action
A change suitable for one site may need testing on another. Consider the theme, plugins and commercial activity before applying updates across several websites.
Check the business journey afterwards
Confirm the pages, forms and key integrations still work. An update-complete message is useful evidence, but it does not replace checking what a visitor needs to do.
Keep access proportionate
Use individual accounts with the permissions needed for the job. Review access when a developer or team member changes and avoid sending credentials in ordinary messages.
Made for the working day
More time for the next useful change.
Whether the next job is a new service page or an extension update, a repeatable routine makes the work easier to manage. Our listed WordPress plans include WordPress Manager, staging and cloning. Choose your plan around the number of live sites, storage, mailboxes and databases you need, then decide who will look after the site day to day.
Talk through your requirements
A little clarity
WordPress Manager, explained.
Useful answers before you decide. For anything specific to your website, let’s talk it through.
Is WordPress Manager included in every WordPress plan?
It is listed with all four Defined WordPress plans. The plan comparison shows the current allowances and other listed features.
Does it replace the WordPress dashboard?
It provides hosting-level administration tools. Your site’s own WordPress dashboard remains the place for its content and the functions supplied by its themes and plugins.
Can you take care of updates for me?
Talk to us about the support you need. Ongoing site maintenance and application work should be agreed separately from the hosting plan.
