# The WordPress Toolkit
Source: https://docs.webgee.com/en/wordpress-cloud/wordpress-toolkit













The **Toolkit** manages WordPress from outside WordPress. It is useful when the
site is broken, when a plugin has locked you out, or when you would rather not
log into `wp-admin` at all. Applies to every WordPress installation on WordPress
Cloud.

Open a website, go to **Apps**, and select **Toolkit** beside the installation.

## General [#general]

* **Site URL** — what WordPress uses to build internal links and redirects. Edit
  it here if a migration left it pointing at the wrong domain; this is the
  setting that causes redirect loops when it is wrong.
* **File path** — where the installation lives, normally `public_html`.
* **WordPress version** — the installed version and its update policy. The
  default is **Always update to the latest available version**; the pencil icon
  changes it.
* **Maintenance mode** — a toggle that shows visitors a maintenance notice.
  Useful while you are mid-migration.

## Plugins [#plugins]

<img alt="The Toolkit plugins list, with activate, delete and auto-update controls" src="__img1" />

Install, activate, deactivate, delete and set auto-updates per plugin, with a
search box for large sites. A fresh install ships with Akismet and Hello Dolly,
both inactive.

Managing plugins here is the way out of the classic failure: a plugin update
that white-screens the site. Deactivate it from the panel and the site comes
back without needing `wp-admin`.

## Themes [#themes]

<img alt="The Toolkit themes grid, showing the active theme and available themes" src="__img2" />

Same controls as plugins — install, activate, delete, auto-update — with
previews. A fresh install ships with three default themes, one active.

## Users [#users]

<img alt="The Toolkit WordPress users list and the single sign-on panel" src="__img3" />

Lists the WordPress user accounts with their email addresses, and lets you add
one. This is how you regain access when the administrator account is lost:
create a new user rather than trying to reset a password you no longer control.

## Single sign-on [#single-sign-on]

Single sign-on logs you into `wp-admin` from the panel without entering the
WordPress password. The **Admin** button beside the installation uses it.

The account it signs in as is shown here, and on the site overview under
**SINGLE SIGN ON**.

## Debug [#debug]

<img alt="The Toolkit debug constants — WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG and WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY" src="__img4" />

Three WordPress constants, all off by default:

| Constant           | Effect                                   |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| `WP_DEBUG`         | Turns on WordPress debug mode            |
| `WP_DEBUG_LOG`     | Writes errors to `wp-content/debug.log`  |
| `WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY` | Prints debug messages into the page HTML |

<Callout type="warn">
  Leave `WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY` off on a live site. It prints file paths and query
  detail to every visitor. To investigate a live problem, enable `WP_DEBUG` and
  `WP_DEBUG_LOG` only, then read `wp-content/debug.log` in the
  [file manager](/en/wordpress-cloud/files-and-ftp).
</Callout>
