First-time login to WordPress on hosting.com Managed WordPress

You've just logged in to your hosting.com Managed WordPress admin area for the first time. So what’s next?

When you log in to your WordPress admin area for the first time, you’ll see several messages with suggested first steps for various plugins. Your new WordPress installation comes preloaded with several useful plugins by default. If you wish, you can get started with enabling and configuring them right away or dismiss them for now.

The added plugin list includes:

• All In One SEO Pack
• Coming Soon Page Under Construction & Maintenance Mode
• Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights
• OptinMonster API
• WP Mail SMTP
• WPForms Lite

There may also be WordPress core, themes, and plugin updates available. If so, you’ll see an icon at the top of the WordPress Admin with a number alerting you to update. Visit the WordPress Updates page to select these updates and get them updated to the latest versions.
