An additional option "Manage Site URL" will appear. when this option is selected and your WordPress application is added to a site, the Opalstack dashboard will automatically configure your WordPress application settings to use the correct URL. Opalstack recommends that you do not enable this option on a WordPress site that has multiple domains attached to it.

  3. After the application has been created, your initial WordPress username and password will be logged in your Notice Log.

  4. Complete the setup by adding the WordPress application to a site.
