Getting Started

Welcome to the Wp Admin documentation. This guide will walk you through setting up your WordPress site with our management platform, from installation to initial configuration.

📚 Note

Wp Admin requires WordPress 5.0 or higher, PHP 7.4+, and basic server access for optimal performance monitoring.

Prerequisites

Before beginning, ensure you have the following ready:

A live WordPress installation with admin access
FTP/SSH credentials or cPanel access
A valid Wp Admin account (sign up here)
API Key from your dashboard settings

Step 1: Install the Wp Admin Plugin

Download & Activate

You can install the plugin directly from your WordPress admin area or upload it manually.

// Method 1: WordPress Admin
Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New -> Search "Wp Admin" -> Install -> Activate

// Method 2: Manual Upload
unzip wp-admin-agent.zip
scp -r wp-admin-agent user@your-site.com:/path/to/wp-content/plugins/
wp plugin activate wp-admin-agent

Step 2: Connect & Verify

Authenticate Your Site

Navigate to Wp Admin > Settings in your WordPress dashboard. Enter your API key and click Verify Connection.

// Example: Configuring via WP-CLI
wp option update wp_admin_api_key "sk_live_abc123xyz789"
wp wpadmin connect --verify

Once verified, your site will appear in your Wp Admin dashboard with a ● Active status indicator.

Step 3: Initial Configuration

After connection, configure your preferred management policies. We recommend starting with our defaults:

Setting	Default Value	Description
Security Mode	`Balanced`	Monitors threats without aggressive blocking
Auto-Updates	`Minor Only`	Automatically applies WordPress minor updates
Backup Frequency	`Daily`	Full site backup stored off-site
Performance Cache	`Enabled`	Leverages server-level caching

⚠ Warning

Do not disable core monitoring on production sites. This may void our 99.9% uptime SLA guarantee.
