What is WordPress Toolkit?

WordPress Toolkit is a powerful, cPanel-integrated management solution designed to simplify the installation, configuration, security, and management of multiple WordPress sites. It features an intuitive interface that streamlines the management of WordPress installations, making it accessible for users ranging from beginners to experienced developers. The WordPress Toolkit comes in two versions: the free WordPress Toolkit Lite and the premium WordPress Toolkit Deluxe, which requires a paid license.

WordPress Toolkit Lite

WordPress Toolkit Lite is a free version included with cPanel, offering a set of advanced management tools that surpass the capabilities of the older WordPress Manager. Key features include:

• Easy-to-Use Dashboard: This dashboard allows you to manage all your WordPress sites from a single interface, displaying current updates and security statuses.

• Single-Sign-On: Administrators and users can log in directly to their WordPress sites with a single click, eliminating the need for entering usernames and passwords.

• Customizable Installation: Users can install new WordPress sites quickly and customize them with options like installation paths, site titles, admin details, database names and passwords, and auto-update settings.

• Automatic Single Site Updates: Manage update settings for WordPress core, themes, and plugins directly from cPanel, ensuring your site is secure from vulnerabilities.

• Automatic Security Hardening: Security enhancements are applied automatically upon installation, including limiting access to sensitive files and disabling pingbacks.

• Scan for Websites: Provides integration and scanning capabilities for previously installed WordPress websites.

• Debug Management: Users can enable maintenance mode, disable search engine crawling, and enable password protection from a single interface.

• Installation of Plugin and Theme Sets: Quickly set up blogs, WooCommerce stores, etc., by installing default plugins and themes during site installation.

WordPress Toolkit Lite offers a robust collection of tools that simplify life for site owners and resellers managing multiple WordPress sites.

WordPress Toolkit Deluxe

WordPress Toolkit Deluxe is the paid upgrade from the Lite version, extending its security and update features significantly. Key enhancements include:
