Site Overview is the management view for a WordPress site on ToolsWordPress Installer. You can see WordPress and PHP versions, manage plugins, provision mail with FluentSMTP, set the from name and address, and review known vulnerabilities. Theme and WordPress core updates from this page are not available yet. Themes still appear in the overview so you can see which one is active. The panel caches Overview data. Use the refresh control if you need a newer snapshot. The page shows when data was last updated.

Scan for WordPress

If WordPress was installed outside the installer, click Scan for WordPress on the WordPress Installer page. The scan looks for existing installations on the account so you can attach them and open Overview.

Manage plugins

The plugins table lists Name, Version, Status (Active or Inactive), Update, and Security.
  • Activate or deactivate from the row actions
  • Delete (trash icon) removes the plugin from the site. That cannot be undone from Overview
  • When an update is available, the Plugins card shows how many updates are waiting. Update from the plugins table
Update or remove plugins during a maintenance window on production sites. A plugin update can change how the site behaves.

Email sending (SMTP)

The Email sending (SMTP) section shows whether FluentSMTP is active and whether a managed mailbox is provisioned. Overview can deploy FluentSMTP and a mailbox for sites that were not originally set up with our installer. Click Reapply SMTP configuration if WordPress was restored from a backup (for example Duplicator) and the old mailbox password no longer matches. Expand Customize sender name and address (optional) to set:
  • From name
  • From email — must be an address on that site’s domain. Leave blank to use the managed mailbox.

New installs and clones through WordPress Installer still get FluentSMTP automatically when no other SMTP plugin is detected. See Default WordPress SMTP configuration.

Known vulnerabilities

When a plugin has a known issue, Overview shows Known vulnerabilities detected and asks you to review the details.

The Known vulnerabilities list names the plugin and a CVSS score. Expand a row for more detail. Update to a patched version when one is available.

If you cannot update immediately, Protect with Patchstack (or Get Patchstack when none is detected) is the paid add-on for monitoring and virtual patching. See Patchstack.
