Let’s get started 🚀

Site Creds



InstaWP allows you to view, copy, and edit your WordPress site credentials if you wish to restrict access to users who no longer require (or shouldn't have) access to your WP panel. To do so, you can follow the below steps:

Step 1: Sign In to your InstaWP account and you will be navigated to its dashboard.



Step 2: Click the More actions button and select the View Creds option from the dropdown list corresponding to the site for which you want to view creds.



A new modal window will appear providing you with the credentials and URL of your website.



From here, you can view, copy & edit your website credentials or perform a direct login attempt into the WP admin panel of your website.



Clone a Site



InstaWP allows you to clone your website by creating a replica of your existing website with all the design, content and even the same credentials as its parent site. To do so, you can follow the below steps:

Step 1: Click the More actions button and select the Clone option from the dropdown list corresponding to the site for which you want to clone.



A new modal window will appear, prompting you to input a name for cloning your site as well as the following configuration options:

OptionsDescription
GenerateThis button allows you to generate a random site name for your cloned site.
Temporary SiteIt allows you to clone your site as a “Temporary Site” with an expiration of 15 days.
Reserved SiteIt allows you to clone your site as a “Reserved Site" that does not expire.


Note: If you leave the Site name blank, InstaWP will instantly pick a random site name for your cloned version.



Step 2: After entering the name and configuring the options, click on the Clone button.



You will be navigated to your dashboard with the message “Your new WordPress website is ready!” alongside the cloned website URL and your login credentials.



Further, you can view your Cloned WordPress site by clicking on the link provided alongside your website URL.
