How to Provide Admin Access to Wordpress Website Securely

In this guide, we'll help you set up a separate admin user for your WordPress website. This is required in order for us to properly monitor, update, and fix your website on an ongoing basis. The maintenance services such as our WP Care Plans, design services, retainer services, etc. will need access for the lifetime of your subscription.

1. Navigate to Users in your WordPress dashboard and select "Add New".

2. Fill in the details required using the information below.

Username: prolifichost

Email: [email protected]

Name: Prolific

Last Name: Host

Website (optional): https://prolific.host

Password: Auto populate from suggestion

Role: Administrator

Check "send user notification" - this is important!

3. Once all fields have been filled, click on "Add New User".

One of the benefits of providing separate admin access as opposed to sharing your login with us is security and privacy. As with any organization, every member has their own set of user credentials which prevents password sharing. In the end, should the event arise that you would like to move on from our services, all you have to do is delete the user and move on with your business (but of course we hope you will stay with us forever!). 

Once we receive the login credentials on our end, we will start with what we do best and perform routine updates, maintenance, and clean-up for you so you can do what you do best and focus on growing your business.
