Patchstack is a paid add-on for WordPress on Grid Hosting. It needs a license. The panel shows an overview of plugins and themes, and we apply virtual patching (vPatch) for known issues. Open it from Tools → Patchstack, or from WordPress Site Overview (Get Patchstack / Protect with Patchstack).

​
Buy a license

1

Open Patchstack

Log in at hosting-panel.net and go to Tools → Patchstack.
2

Go to Billing Area

If you have no licenses, the page shows Patchstack not enabled and (0/0 sites used). Click Go to Billing Area to buy the Patchstack add-on. You can also contact support. That purchase assigns one license to your account.

Virtual patches apply when new issues are found, so the site can stay protected while you wait to update plugins.

​
Assign the license to a domain

1

Add Patchstack

After purchase, Patchstack shows (0/1 sites used) and Add Patchstack. You can add up to the number of sites your licenses allow.

Site overview

Open the site from Patchstack to see Site Overview.
Patchstack site overview with component counts, severity, updates banner, and vulnerabilities table
The cards show:
  • Total Components (plugins and themes)
  • Vulnerable Components
  • Outdated Components
  • High Severity, Medium Severity, and Low Severity
If updates are available, Updates available includes Go to WordPress Overview so you can update plugins from Site Overview. The Vulnerabilities table lists:
  • Plugin name (with severity)
  • Vulnerability type
  • Affected version
  • Fixed version
  • vPatch ID
  • CVSS score
Use the information icon on a row to open the Patchstack article for that vulnerability. WordPress Overview also shows known vulnerabilities on its own. Use Patchstack when you have the add-on and want this dashboard plus virtual patching.
