Understanding the ZipWP Cloud Dashboard

The ZipWP Cloud Dashboard is where you manage all your live websites, domains, and hosting settings. 

Once you move a staging site to the cloud, you can access and control every aspect of it from this dashboard.

This article walks you through the main sections of the ZipWP Cloud Dashboard, using the provided screenshots as reference.

Live Sites Overview

When you open Live Sites from the left sidebar, you’ll see a list of all your live websites.

Key Columns:

• Label – The name you’ve given to your site (e.g., My Live Site, Portfolio). You can change the site label by simply typing over the existing label.
• Site Status – Shows if your site is under verification, live or inactive.
• WP Admin – Quick access to your WordPress admin dashboard.
• Created By – Displays the team member who created the site.
• Actions – Extra options to manage your site (ellipsis menu).

You can also use the Search Bar to quickly find a specific site if you manage multiple projects.
