What can I do with the WordPress Manager?

  • Set up automatic updates for core, plugins and themes
  • Activate/deactivate search engine visibility
  • Change website URL
  • Activate/deactivate WordPress Cron
  • Change site name
  • Activate/deactivate WordPress debug mode
  • Change WordPress password
  • Various database settings

All these functions are available in one central location and offer more convenience compared to direct editing via the WordPress admin area or cPanel. However, please note some limitations.
