Choose WordPress and a version

Pick WordPress (or WooCommerce + WordPress). Leave the version on the one marked Latest unless you need an older one.
4

Choose where to install it

Pick your domain. Leave the path as / to put WordPress on the main address (yourdomain.com), or type a folder name such as blog to install it at yourdomain.com/blog.
5

Create your WordPress login

Enter an admin Username, Email, Password and Confirm password. The key icon creates a strong password for you. Save these details somewhere safe.

An installed WordPress site

  • Admin signs you straight in to the WordPress dashboard, with no password needed.
  • Toolkit opens the WordPress Toolkit for updates, plugins, themes, users and more.
The installer creates the database and database user for you. You’ll see them on the Databases tab.
Your site won’t load on your domain until the domain points to us. Then turn on HTTPS.

Install Joomla or OpenClaw

Follow the same steps and choose Joomla or OpenClaw in the first box. OpenClaw has no other fields: choose it and click Install.

Find an app you installed yourself

If you uploaded WordPress yourself (for example when moving from another host), click Scan on the Apps tab. The panel looks for existing installs and adds them to the list, so you can use the Toolkit with them.

Remove an app

Removing an app deletes it from your website. Make sure you have a backup first.
On the Apps tab, click ⋮ on the app’s card and choose Delete. You can also click Delete at the bottom of the WordPress Toolkit.

Troubleshooting

Check that your domain points to our nameservers. New nameservers can take up to 48 hours to work everywhere.
Check which WordPress user is set under Single sign on in the Toolkit. It must be an existing administrator.
GitHub deployment isn’t available on a website that already has an app installed.
