EDITOR’S NOTE 07\/27\/15:\u00a0We’ve launched this updated design and new install navigation. Log in to your user portal account<\/a> today to try it out!<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

At WP Engine we are constantly listening to our customers and using that feedback to make our service even better. Based on your input, we\u2019ve been hard at work updating our user portal to make it easier to use, and we want to give you a quick preview of some changes coming in the near future!<\/p>\n

We put together a quick video to give you a sneak peek of what we\u2019ve been working on:<\/p>\n

New Install Navigation<\/h2>\n

Currently in your user portal, you use your left navigation column to switch between the installs on your account.<\/p>\n

Old Install Navigation<\/i>
\n\"user-portal-update.1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This works great until you start managing a large number of installs in one user portal account. Soon we\u2019ll introduce a new way to navigate between all the installs on your account. This update makes it much easier to view, find, and navigate to any install.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll now find a expandable dark blue bar at the top of your user portal install page which, when clicked, will list all the installs on your account. If you have more than 10 installs, you\u2019ll see the recent installs list on the left, giving you quick access to the installs you last visited. The search box allows you to quickly find an install name.<\/p>\n

New Install Navigation with Search and Recent Installs<\/i>
\n\"user-portal-update.2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Simplified Design<\/h2>\n

In tandem with the new install navigation, we\u2019ve simplified the left hand install navigation to only contain links to the install you are currently viewing. You\u2019ll also notice that pages have gotten a light design refresh, making the portal more user friendly, and more adaptable to different screen sizes.<\/p>\n

Refined Design & Simplified Install Sidebar<\/i>
\n\"user-portal-update.3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait for you to start using these new features in the updated user portal when we launch it in the coming weeks. We hope these improvements make it even easier for you to navigate around the user portal.<\/p>\n

Please note: if you have done any scripting with the user portal, this refresh will require those scripts to be updated. <\/i><\/p>\n
