Getting Started with Wp Admin

Introduction

Wp Admin provides a comprehensive suite of tools and APIs designed to automate and streamline WordPress website administration. Whether you're managing a single site or a network of thousands, our platform handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on development and growth.

Installation & Setup

There are two primary ways to connect your WordPress site to Wp Admin:

Option 1: WordPress Plugin

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard
2. Navigate to Plugins → Add New
3. Search for Wp Admin Connector and install
4. Activate and paste your API key from the Wp Admin dashboard
5. Run the initial health check to verify connectivity

Option 2: Direct API Integration

For headless setups or custom environments, use our REST API to register your site programmatically:

curl -X POST https://api.wpadmin.com/v1/sites/register \n  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \n  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \n  -d '{
    "site_url": "https://yourdomain.com",
    "wordpress_version": "6.4.2",
    "environment": "production"
  }'

Configuration

Once connected, Wp Admin automatically scans your installation and recommends optimizations. You can customize behavior using the configuration panel or by defining rules in wp-admin-config.json:

REST API Reference

All API requests require authentication via the Authorization header. Endpoints follow RESTful conventions and return JSON responses.

const wpAdmin = require('wp-admin-sdk');

const client = new wpAdmin.Client('YOUR_API_KEY');

// Trigger immediate security scan
const scan = await client.security.scan({
  siteId: 'site_123abc',
  depth: 'full',
  notify: true
});

console.log(`Scan completed in ${scan.duration}ms`);

Troubleshooting

Common issues and their solutions:

• Connection Timeout: Ensure your server allows outbound HTTPS connections to api.wpadmin.com. Check firewall rules and proxy configurations.
• Plugin Conflict: Temporarily disable third-party security or caching plugins. Wp Admin uses optimized hooks that may interfere with aggressive caching layers.
• Backup Failures: Verify disk space and file permissions. Wp Admin requires 755 for directories and 644 for files in the backup staging directory.
• SSL Errors: If you're using self-signed certificates in development, add them to the trusted store or enable verify_ssl: false in the config (not recommended for production).
