With HubSeek’s built-in WordPress Toolkit, you can easily manage your WordPress site right from the control panel. Here are some of the useful tools available to you:

- To install a plugin:
- Go to Apps and select Manage for your WordPress installation.
- Scroll to Plugins, select the plugin(s) you want, and click Install.

- Scroll to WordPress Users, click Add User, and fill in the username, email, and password for the new user.
3. WordPress Auto-Updates
We’ve made it easy to manage WordPress updates. You can choose when and how WordPress updates itself—whether to only update minor versions or all updates.
- To change the update schedule:
- Go to Apps and click Manage for your WordPress installation.
- Scroll to General and click the pencil icon to adjust the auto-update schedule.
