Softaculous WordPress Manager – Easy Website Management

If your web hosting provider supports Softaculous, the integrated WordPress Manager offers a user-friendly tool to centrally manage your website – without having to log in directly to the WordPress dashboard.

Compared to the cPanel Toolkit, many users find the Softaculous WordPress Manager more intuitive and easier to navigate. All functions are clearly organized, making adjustments simple and confusion-free.

Below, we will show you the features of the WordPress Manager and how to use it step by step.

Features of the WordPress Manager

With the Softaculous WordPress Manager, you can conveniently manage key aspects of your website:

• WordPress core updates
• Automatic updates for core, plugins, and themes
• Enable/disable search engine visibility
• Change website URL
• Enable/disable WordPress Cron
• Edit site name
• Enable/disable debug mode
• Change admin password
• Database options such as cloning, staging, or backups

This centralizes the most important management tasks in one place – far more convenient than using the WordPress backend or cPanel directly.

Note: For automatic plugin updates, WordPress itself allows you to choose exactly which plugins should update automatically, giving you more fine-grained control.

Step-by-Step Guide: Using the WordPress Manager in Softaculous

The WordPress Manager was introduced in Softaculous version 5.6.1 and can be accessed via your cPanel, provided your hosting provider supports it.

Step 1: Access the WordPress Manager

Log in to your hosting account. In the menu, click on “WordPress Manager” or scroll down to the “Software” section and select “WordPress Manager by Softaculous”.

Step 2: Log in and Change Password

You will see an overview of your domains and subdomains with installed WordPress instances.

• Click “Login” to access the WordPress admin dashboard directly.
• Click “Change Password” to reset the admin password.

Note: Only the admin password can be changed here. For other user accounts, you need to log in to the WordPress backend.

Step 3: Change URL and Site Name

You can change both the website URL and the site name. Click on the small arrow to expand the advanced settings.

Warning: Changing the URL may affect existing content.

Step 4: Modify Configuration

Under “Configuration”, you can enable or disable automatic updates for WordPress, themes, and plugins.

Step 5: Database Options

This section offers powerful features such as:

• Cloning an installation
• Creating a staging environment
• Backup creation and restoration

Note: To access database details directly, you will need to log in to phpMyAdmin.

Conclusion: Efficient WordPress Management with Softaculous

The Softaculous WordPress Manager is a practical tool for anyone who wants to manage their website with ease – from updates to configuration. It offers:

• A clear and intuitive interface
• Centralized management of all key features
• Quick adjustments without logging into WordPress

For more complex tasks, the WordPress backend remains essential. However, especially if you do not have access to your admin account, Softaculous provides a reliable alternative.
