  1. Install WordPress on your hostingWordPress is not preinstalled on new FoxFolio Cloud services. On WordPress Cloud, open the hosting control panel from your account and run the WordPress installer for your domain; on Cloud Hosting, use the one-click application installer. Managed WordPress includes one reviewed installation or migration done by FoxFolio Cloud, so Managed WordPress customers do not need to install it themselves.Last updated
  2. Use the WordPress tools in your control panelWordPress Cloud and Managed WordPress services include WordPress tools in the hosting control panel. From one screen you can check the WordPress version, update core, manage plugins, themes and users, reset a WordPress password, run a search and replace, open the WordPress dashboard and create a staging copy. Advanced users can also use WP-CLI over SSH.Last updated
  3. Test changes on a WordPress staging siteOn WordPress Cloud and Managed WordPress, the control panel’s WordPress tools can create a staging site: a private working copy of your live site, usually at staging. followed by your domain. Test updates, themes and plugins there, then choose the option to clone the staging site into live. Publishing overwrites the live site, so take a backup first.Last updated
  4. Keep WordPress core, themes and plugins updatedOn WordPress Cloud you are responsible for WordPress updates: back up, test larger updates on a staging copy, then update core, plugins and themes from the WordPress dashboard or the control panel’s WordPress tools. On Managed WordPress, FoxFolio Cloud applies minor and security core updates and reviews major core, active plugin and active theme updates in a scheduled maintenance cycle.Last updated
  5. What Managed WordPress includes and excludesManaged WordPress covers one WordPress site: one reviewed installation or migration, automatic minor and security core updates, scheduled review of major core, active plugin and active theme updates, availability and security alert triage, a backup before FoxFolio-managed changes, restore coordination and authenticated support. Content, design, SEO, custom code, third-party licences and malware cleanup beyond initial triage are quoted separately.Last updated
  6. Move an existing WordPress site to FoxFolio CloudThe simplest way to move a WordPress site is the free migration included with FoxFolio Cloud hosting: order a WordPress plan, then open a ticket from your account with the site details. FoxFolio Cloud copies the files and database, you check the copy on a preview address, and only then do you point the domain. Keep the old hosting active until the new site is confirmed working.Last updated
  7. Fix common WordPress errorsMost WordPress errors come from a plugin, the theme, a low PHP memory limit or wrong database details in wp-config.php. Check the error log in the control panel, deactivate the most recently changed plugin or theme from the WordPress tools, and compare the database settings with MySQL Databases. Take a backup before editing files.Last updated
