Panelica 1.0.375 Verified 2026-07-23 WordPress Toolkit

The Sites page is the WordPress Toolkit's control room: every WordPress installation the panel manages, in a pick-a-site-on-the-left, work-on-it-on-the-right layout. This page covers the day-to-day operations; installing new sites has its own page.

The layout

The left panel lists every managed installation with quick stats above it (active, frozen, and sites with issues). Each entry shows the site's address, title and WordPress version, a lock icon when the site is frozen and a rocket icon when Boost caching is on, plus a status badge: Active, Installing, Updating, Maintenance, Broken or Suspended. Selecting a site fills the right panel: version cards (WordPress, PHP, freeze state, install date), the site's core facts (title, URL, admin user, database, path, owner) and the action row.

The actions, one by one

WP Admin: one-click login. The panel signs you into wp-admin without a password prompt.

Behind the scenes: every Panelica-managed site carries a tiny must-use plugin that accepts HMAC-SHA256-signed login links valid for 120 seconds. The panel generates the signed URL on demand and opens it; nothing password-like is stored in your browser, and an expired link is just a dead link.

Visit Site opens the live site. Fix Permissions resets the installation's file ownership and permissions to sane values, the standard first-aid step after a migration or a plugin gone wild.

Freeze / Unfreeze. Freezing locks the installation's files against any modification, including by WordPress itself, plugins, or a compromised admin account.

Behind the scenes: freeze applies the filesystem's immutable flag to the site's files. While frozen, the Toolkit disables the file-touching operations (updates, hardening, cache changes) and shows a lock icon next to the site. The admin password can still be reset, because it lives in the database rather than in the protected files. It is the strongest "nobody touches this site" switch you have, useful for finished sites and incident response.

Password opens a dialog to set a new WordPress admin password, with a show/hide toggle and a random 16-character generator; minimum 8 characters. The change is applied through WP-CLI as the site's own Linux user.

Boost: Redis caching. One click installs Panelica's two-layer cache: a Redis object cache drop-in plus a full-page cache that serves cached pages straight from Redis before WordPress even boots. With Boost on, the panel shows live stats (cached pages, object keys, memory used), a TTL selector from 5 minutes to 24 hours, and a Flush Cache button.

Behind the scenes: the cache connects to the panel's own Redis instance with a unique per-site key prefix, so flushing one site never touches another. On a cache hit the full-page layer returns the page without loading WordPress at all, which is why a Boosted site's time-to-first-byte drops so sharply. Multisite installations are not supported by Boost; the button is unavailable on them.

Uninstall is deliberately a two-stage choice: first pick between Remove from List (detach: the panel forgets the site but files and database stay untouched) and Full Uninstall (files and database destroyed). Full uninstall then demands a typed DELETE confirmation showing exactly which database and path will go.

Where the rest lives

The management cards at the bottom link into the rest of the Toolkit: Plugins & Themes, Security, Staging and, via the sidebar, Updates and Backups.

Access

The whole WordPress Toolkit is a licensed feature (wordpress); without it the pages show an upgrade overlay. Which installations you see follows the roles and permissions chain: a USER sees only their own sites, a RESELLER their customers', an ADMIN their chain, ROOT all. Staging is available to ROOT, ADMIN and RESELLER by default (not USER), while installing, plugins, themes and backups are open to all four roles.
