🚀 How to Install the-wpmanager

To install the-wpmanager, follow the steps below carefully. In just a few minutes, everything will be ready on your VPS.

✅ Requirements

  • A VPS with at least 2 GB RAM and a stable internet connection (Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS recommended).
  • Access to your VPS terminal (via SSH).
  • A domain you want to use for managing the-wpmanager.

⚠️ Important:

Do not use the domain where your WordPress site runs. This domain is only used for the management and installation of the-wpmanager.

📋 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Go to the installation page.
  2. Enter the domain where the-wpmanager should run.
  3. After registration, you’ll receive an email at the provided address.
  4. This email contains your personal installation command.
  5. Copy the command and paste it into your VPS terminal.

Once you run the command, installation will start automatically. Within minutes, you can use the the-wpmanager dashboard.

📧 How to Set Up Email

With the-wpmanager, you can create professional email addresses on your own domain. Follow these steps to ensure noreply@yourdomain.com can send emails securely.

📋 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Go to the Mail tab in the dashboard.
  2. Check if there are warnings next to your noreply address.
  3. Click on DNS Info for the noreply address and note the details.
  4. Log in to your domain provider and create a subdomain: mail.yourdomain.com. Point the A-record to your VPS IP address.
  5. Add the following DNS records:
    • ✅ TXT record for SPF
    • ✅ TXT record for DMARC
    • ✅ TXT record for DKIM

ℹ️ Important:

Once these DNS records are active worldwide, noreply@yourdomain.com will be able to send emails correctly. This is essential for features like forgot password or customer reset.

When the DNS records are active, the warning disappears from the dashboard and your mail server is ready for use.
