Site Listing shows every WordPress site on your account in one table. Use it to spot sites that are stopped or need updates, and to open a site’s page.
Open the site list
- Go to WordPress Hosting, then select Site Listing.
- The card at the top shows how many sites you have (Sites across your account) and how many have updates waiting (With Updates).
- Under it, any deploy, import, delete or address switch that is still running shows in the In Progress card. Select one to follow it.
Read the table
Each row is one site. A site in several regions is still one row, with a Multi-Region badge beside its name.
- Site: the site’s name, with its domain under it. Select the name to open the site’s page.
- Status: whether the site is running. A green Running means it serves visitors. Mixed means a multi-region site whose regions are not all in the same state. Hold the pointer over it to see each region.
- WordPress and PHP: the versions the site runs.
- Updates: what is waiting to be updated, such as “Core 6.8.1”, “2 Plugins” or “1 Theme”. Up to Date means nothing is waiting. A dash (—) means the site hasn’t been read yet.
- Region: where the site runs.
- Tier: Standalone or Cluster.
- Actions: open the site in a new tab, or sign in to WP Admin. These buttons show only while the site is running.
The table hides some columns when the window is narrow. On a phone, each site shows as a card.
The versions and updates come from the last time Lighthouse read the site, not from the site live. The time of that reading is in the tooltip. An old reading shows its date beside it.
Filter and search
- Select a status above the table, such as All, Running or Stopped, to show only those sites. Each one shows its count.
- Type in Search sites… to find a site by name, domain, region or service.
If something goes wrong
- No WordPress Sites Yet: you have no site yet. Launch one with Create New Site, or move one in. See Launch a WordPress site.
- No sites match this view. Clear the search or choose All.
- No Application Hosting Service Yet: WordPress sites run on Application Hosting, and your account doesn’t have it. Select Contact Support, or see Enable a service.
- You can also move an existing WordPress environment in from Application Hosting. Open the environment’s WordPress tab and choose Move to WordPress Hosting.
