Building your WordPress site is a key part of the hosting experience. Now that your site is set up, you can access your newly created WordPress account. This guide will walk you through the process of creating your own WordPress user logins and accessing your account.

Creating a WordPress User
In this section, we will guide you on how to find and create your WordPress logins.
Log into your BigScoots Console and click Websites on the Top of homepage.
Within Websites, click on the site you wish to access WordPress for.
On the domain dashboard, click WordPress, then go to Admin Users, and click Add WordPress Admin.
Below you will see an auto-generated admin user. We highly recommend creating your own login credentials and deleting the default user afterwards.
Enter the username, email address, and password, then click Add User.
Once the user has been created, you will see a pop-up message confirming that the user was created successfully.
(optional) Now that your new user has been set up, you can delete the auto-generated user by clicking the red trash bin icon under Action. A pop-up will appear asking you to attribute all content to another user. Select the user you want to assign the posts to, then click Confirm and Delete.
Managing Your WordPress User
Now that you have your WordPress user set up, you may follow the below guides to manage it as needed.
