To connect a WordPress site with WordPress MultiManager:

  • Make sure the site runs WordPress version 6.0 or newer and has a valid SSL certificate.
  • Enter the site address (URL) of your WordPress site and click Connect.
  • You will be redirected to your WordPress Dashboard, where you need to log in and authorize the connection from our application.
  • When you get redirected back to the WordPress MultiManager, review the site details, give it a descriptive name (the Site Name reflects the name of the site only in WordPress MultiManager), and click Connect.

As part of the process, our MultiManager WP plugin will be automatically installed and activated on your WordPress site. This plugin handles the connection between your site and this interface.

If you experience any issues connecting the site this way, please try using the Manual connection option. You need an application password to connect a site manually. You can add an application password via the Dashboard of your WordPress site > Users > Profile > Application Passwords.

You can also connect a brand new site when ordering a new hosting account and when creating a new child account on the SmartVPS platform. To do this, select the "Install WordPress" option and then the "Connect to WordPress MultiManager" option on the new account order/creation page. The system will check whether the domain for the new hosting account points to the server, and if it does not, in the next up to 48 hours WordPress MultiManager will not send notifications for a disconnected site. Diring this time, the site's status in WordPress MultiManager will be shown as "Disconnected".
