How to Manage Admin Logins/Users:

When you add your new domain or migrate to the BigScoots WPO Portal we generate a random WordPress Admin User automatically for you.

After you have successfully migrated your site or added your domain and chosen "Fresh WP Install", you can then manage your admin users before logging into WordPress.
โ€‹
You will want to click Add New Admin so you can choose your desired username as the one we generate is completely random. Once completed, we advise that you delete the original admin user we created, as it will not be needed.

Below, we will show you how to navigate to manage your WordPress admin logins within your WPO portal.

How to Navigate to WordPress Admin User Area:

Step #1:

Login to your WPO Portal and select "My Sites" from the left-hand side.

Step #2:

Select the website for which you would like to manage the admin users:

Step #3:

Select WordPress > Admin Users. Here you can add, delete, or modify Admin users for your WordPress account.

Step #4 (optional - Staging Site):

Before you login, make sure you are in the correct environment. If you want to login to your staging site, please change the environment to staging before proceeding.

How to Login to WordPress Admin:

Now that you've created your WordPress Admin Logins, you can sign directly into your WordPress admin area.

You will see all the admin users listed for your website. With just a single click on the 'Login as user' button (green icon next to the user), you can instantly login to your wp-admin using that specific user.

Please Note: If you'd prefer, you can log in to WordPress directly within your browser via https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin

How to Add a New WordPress Admin:

Once in the Admin Users area, you will see an 'Add New Admin' button, just click the button to add an admin. Once clicked, you will fill out a form with the Username and Email (password is auto-generated).

How to Edit WordPress Admin Password/Email:

Once in the Admin Users area, you can see all admin users listed for your website. With a single click of the 'Update Password' or the 'Update Email' button (blue pencil icon next to the user's password and email respectively), you can instantly edit the admin login of that specific user.
