Ready to add a new WordPress site to your Pressable account? The information below will walk you through a step-by-step process.
Log in to the My.Pressable.com Dashboard
To begin, log in to the MyPressable.com Dashboard:
If you run into trouble accessing your Pressable account, you can reset your password or contact our Customer Success Team for assistance.
Add a New Site
Once youβve logged in to the MyPressable Dashboard you will find an Add Site button in both upper corners:
If you are both an account owner and an account-level collaborator with Create Site permissions on another account you’ll see an option to choose which account the new site belongs to.
You can then choose whether it’s a live, staging site, sandbox site, or DupliKit (template) site, followed by assigning the site a name, selecting a data center location, selecting the PHP version:
The Site Name that you choose will impact the site’s staging URL. For example, if you choose fresh-install as the Site Name, the site’s staging URL will be fresh-install.mystagingwebsite.com.
This will not be shown publicly if a domain is later added to the site.
If you are a collaborator with permission to create sites for the account owner, you will see the account to which the newly created site is being added to –
If you are a user with your own Pressable plan and have been added to other accounts as a collaborator with permission to create sites (for the other account owner/s), you will see an option to select the account under which you will be creating the site. The default is set to your own account.
New Site Details
Your new WordPress site will be ready to use in less than one minute!
Check your inbox for an email from Pressable, which will contain the username and password youβll need to access your new site’s WP Admin. Your new site will include a staging URL (ex: fresh-install.mystagingwebsite.com), which is a temporary web address that you can use as you build, modify and manage your site.
You will find your new siteβs staging URL on the My Sites page of the MyPressable.com Dashboard.
