WordPress: your first steps

Picked the WordPress stack? Your site came with WordPress already installed and running.

First login

  1. Your site page in the portal shows the admin address (/wp-admin/), username and a generated password — we display it for 7 days, so save it now.
  2. Log in, then go to Users → Profile and set your own password.

Make it yours

  • Appearance → Themes — pick a look; the theme customizer previews before publishing.
  • Pages — your home/about/contact live here.
  • Settings → General — site title and language.

Keeping it healthy

  • We keep WordPress core security updates applied and run real scheduled tasks (no traffic-dependent cron). Plugins are yours: fewer is better, update them, delete what you don't use.
  • Before experimenting, press Back up now on the Files tab — restoring takes one click.
  • If the site white-screens after a plugin update, check the Logs tab, then restore.
