Congratulations, your new WordPress site is created!
Install Your Themes and Plugins
Once your installation is complete, the window shown below will appear. This will give you the option to install plugins. These plugins come directly from wordpress.org.
If you click on ‘Install plugins’, a new window will appear with a list of available themes and plugins to install, along with all their details (ratings, download numbers, publisher name, etc.), giving you all the information you need to decide if it’s the right plugin/theme for you.
If you later realize you missed an important plugin or need to modify your plugins and themes, you can always find and manage them in these tabs on the main dashboard.
Find and Install Your Existing WordPress Website
Let’s say you previously created a WordPress site and want to integrate it and manage it directly in the WordPress Toolkit. As long as the site already exists under your account, you can click the ‘Scan’ button. This option will then search through your account directories and find any existing WordPress sites there.
Backup Your WordPress Site
On the website you want to back up, select “Backup / Restore.”
In the dropdown menu, select the “Backup” button.
WordPress Toolkit will now automatically create a backup for you.
Restore or Download Your Site Backup
Search through your latest available backups in WP Toolkit.
Select the site you want to restore/download.
Click the restore or download button on the right.
