My Sites: Manage WordPress Sites

The addition of the Rock User Interface introduces an updated look, powerful tools, and new features to help better manage any size business. Among these tools and features is the new 'My Sites' tab.

    • Backups: Add backup solutions or manage existing backups
    • Performance: Manage caching options for your website

    • Settings: Manage Update and comment settings, Coming Soon pages, and the associated URL. You can also delete an installation here.
