About<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sites<\/em> page is the central hub for managing your sites on WP Engine. This page offers site and environment management tools, such as details about the environment\u2019s status and the ability to make updates to certain assets, like plugins or themes. Additionally, certain accounts also have the ability to perform these actions in bulk across multiple sites at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sites<\/em> page can be accessed by clicking Sites<\/strong> in the main menu of the User Portal<\/a>, or at the following link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tags<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Tags allow users to collect and categorize sites. For example you can tag by client, web property, or status. Tags can be changed or removed at any time, and all users roles can create and delete tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, tags can be used as a filter when viewing the sites list when managing a large number of sites. Tags are only available to accounts with 10 or more sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edit a site\u2019s tags by clicking the tag icon to the right of the site title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Notes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        Notes are flexible labels and can be used however they are needed. For example, a developer could add this note: \u201cDo not update [example plugin] without testing in staging\u201d. All users roles can create and delete notes. Notes allow more flexible text input and therefore cannot be used to filter or sort in the site list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        To add a note, click the notepad icon to the right of the site title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
