For WordPress.com power users, you can quickly access your sites and settings using the Hosting Command Palette. This guide will show you how to use it and what quick actions you can perform.
You can access the Hosting Command Palette while logged into your WordPress.com dashboard. Press ⌘K on Mac or Ctrl+k on Windows and Linux to reveal a search input and all the available commands:
Upon opening the Hosting Command Palette, you can use your keyboard or mouse to scroll the list of commands that appear. You can also search for specific commands by typing into the search box:
When viewing the list of commands, some end with an ellipsis `…`, while others do not. Commands that do not have ellipses next to them will be carried out immediately, while those that have the ellipses will prompt you to select a site to perform the action on.
Examples of commands with no ellipses:
Examples of site commands with an ellipsis next to them:
When you select a command that needs a site selecting, you’ll be prompted to select the site you want to perform the action on:
If your account has several sites, you can use the search field to filter by site address or site title.
Only sites that can perform your selected action will appear. For example, if you’re trying to open the phpMyAdmin database, your site must be on an eligible plan and have hosting access activated.
If you already have a site selected – for example, you’re on the manage posts screen for a site, then the commands will be applied to that site.
You can go back by pressing Esc, Backspace, or clicking the back arrow button.
Here is a complete list of commands you can execute from the Hosting Command Palette. The ellipsis next to a command name indicates that the action you’re performing requires a site to be selected.
