Websites

The list of sites, adding and editing one, connecting it, and the header every site page shares.

The list

Every site in the workspace, with its name and address, its client, its package, its worker status and version, its last update round, and its monitoring state. Star a site to keep it at the top. Search by name or address, and filter by worker status, health, package, client or starred.

Row actions: Edit, open the site or its admin in a new tab, log in to the site's admin without a password (administrators and users; see Site users and login), run an update round now, run a health check, and delete. Bulk actions run an update round, a health check or a connection refresh across the selected sites. What each role sees of these is in Roles and permissions.

Adding a site

Websites → Create. The fields:

Nameas it appears in lists
URLthe address the site answers on. It is checked for redirects before it is accepted; an address that redirects — http to https, without to with www, to another path — is refused, because a redirect would strip the credential from the platform's calls. Enter the address the site actually answers on, including the path when WordPress lives in a subdirectory.
Clientthe customer the site belongs to
Packagethe service level; it sets the update frequency, the backup interval and storage policy, the number of regression pages and the monitoring interval
Tagsfree-form, for filtering
Backup interval and storage policyinherited from the package unless overridden here
Monitoringon or off, and the interval, chosen from those the package allows
Update weekdaysthe days a scheduled update round may run on this site
Debug modewhether WordPress debug mode is on on the site

A new site is not connected until the worker is installed on it and paired — Install the worker. Connect Website on the edit page shows the steps and the download.

The site header

Every page of a site carries the same header: the site's name and address, its worker version and status, when it last reported, and the actions that apply everywhere — open the site, open its admin, log in, run an update round, run a health check.

Health

The site's Health page shows three separate facts: whether the platform can reach the site, when the site last called the platform, and the age and channel of each dataset the platform holds about it. Below them, the work the platform has handed the site that is not finished, and what needs attention, with an instruction where a person is needed. Run health check asks again now. Connection problems explains what each finding means.

Deleting a site

Deleting a site removes it from the workspace with its records. It does not touch the site itself: the worker stays installed and keeps the workspace token until it is deactivated or the token is removed. Remove the plugin from the site first if the site is leaving your care.
