How to Manage WordPress With the WordPress Toolkit
Use the WordPress Toolkit in the FREAKHOSTING web hosting panel to update WordPress, turn on maintenance mode, install plugins and themes, manage users, sign in without a password and turn on debugging.
The WordPress Toolkit lets you look after a WordPress site without signing in to WordPress: updates, maintenance mode, plugins, themes, users and debugging are all in one place.
Go to Websites, click your website, open Apps, then click Toolkit on your WordPress card. The sections are listed on the left. Admin at the top right signs you in to the WordPress dashboard.
Click Add user and enter a username, email address and password. Click ⋮ on a user to Edit them, Change password or Delete them. This is the quickest way back in if you’ve forgotten your WordPress password.
Open Plugins and click Deactivate on the plugin you added or updated last. If you can’t tell which one, turn on WP_DEBUG_LOG and check wp-content/debug.log.
I forgot my WordPress password
Click Admin to sign in without it, or use ⋮ → Change password in the Users section.
