# Overview

> WP Toolkit. Install, clone, back up, scan for security issues, and manage every WordPress site on the account from one place.

WordPress Management opens **WP Toolkit**, the management layer for every WordPress install on your account. From one screen you can install a fresh site, clone an existing one to staging, run security scans, push plugin and theme updates, take backups, and toggle the dozen or so settings that usually live in a WordPress admin you'd rather not log into.

WP Toolkit is third-party software made by Plesk, bundled with cPanel. We ship it with every hosting plan.

Open it from cPanel home → **Domains** → **WordPress Management**.

## What WP Toolkit does that the WP admin doesn't

| Capability                       | WP admin | WP Toolkit                                                                                                                             |

## Pricing for the parts that aren't included

Everything in WP Toolkit is included with your hosting plan **except Vulnerability Protection**, the auto-patching feature that applies hotfixes for known plugin and theme CVEs without waiting for the upstream vendor.

<Info>
  **Vulnerability Protection is a paid opt-in.** The vulnerability *scanner* is free and shows you which CVEs apply to your sites. Auto-applying virtual patches before the official fix lands is the part that's billed separately. Open a ticket from the [Members Area](https://members.noxity.io) to enable it on your account.
