Managing Your WordPress Website in AdminBolt Print

AdminBolt includes a built-in WordPress Management interface that allows you to perform common WordPress administration tasks without logging directly into the WordPress dashboard.

Using the WordPress Management tools you can:

• View installed WordPress sites
• Access your website or WordPress Admin area

• View basic WordPress information
• Uninstall WordPress if required

Opening WordPress Management

From the AdminBolt Home screen, locate the WordPress Management section and click Manage WordPress.

For each installation you can:

Warning: Uninstalling WordPress permanently removes the installation and should only be used when you are certain it is no longer required.
