Manage sites

Once you've created your first site, you will find a table listing all of your sites:

Search

The search lets you find sites by name or URL. It's a live search and also works for paginated pages, so don't worry, we'll find the site you're looking for.

Name

This is the name you initially entered when creating your site.

By clicking on the name, you will get to your site details, where you can control various things related to your site:

Those things include:

  • Changing the site name
  • Accessing credentials for WP and Basic Auth
  • Adding/Managing custom domains
  • Manage/Create/Restore backups
  • Access your site via SSH or SFTP

Static Site

This will be empty on newly deployed sites - once you run your first static export it will be available to preview and visit your static site.

There are also three icons next to the URL - all those actions are directly related to the static site:

  • Manage Redirects (301)
  • Clear Cache (Static Site Cache NOT WordPress cache)
  • Statistics (Bandwidth, Cache-Hit-Rate)

Your WordPress website will be located at wp.random-string.static.studio, but it's automatically protected by Basic Auth and our zero-trust firewall - we explain how to access your site in "Actions".

Status

The status will tell you the progress of the website. There are different ones based on the progress:

pending: We have received the request, and our queue system will pick up the job soon.

creating: We actively deploy your website and pre-configure everything for you.

deployed: Your site is ready to be used.

failed: If you see this, either reach out to support or delete the project and create it again.

migrating: If you used our uploader to migrate an existing website.

Actions


There are four core actions per site:

WordPress Login

By clicking the login button, you will be automatically logged into WordPress. You do not need to provide Basic Auth or login credentials - it just works.

Your WordPress website will open in a new tab, so you don't have to leave the dashboard.

Export Site

This action will update your static site based on the latest changes to your WordPress website. You can always perform this from within your WordPress dashboard - this one is just quicker to access.

Manage Team

The next button opens a modal that lets you invite team members to manage the site.

If the invited e-mail address does not have an account on Simply Static Studio, we will send them an invitation e-mail to create one.

Delete Site

This will delete the site. Don't worry. There is an additional confirmation prompt before we delete your site.
