## Start here

- **[Getting started](https://wranglepress.com/docs/getting-started).** The whole WranglePress setup as a checklist, from adding your first site and checking the preview to going live on your own domain.

## Set up a site

- **[Add a site](https://wranglepress.com/docs/add-a-site).** Add a WordPress® site, or another kind of website, to WranglePress, and find your way around the site page: builds, preview, domain and settings.
- **[Sites that aren't WordPress](https://wranglepress.com/docs/other-websites).** Use WranglePress with Joomla, Drupal, hand-built and other websites, and what's different from WordPress.
- **[Install the connector plugin](https://wranglepress.com/docs/connector-plugin).** Install and connect the WranglePress Connector plugin so every publish rebuilds your site.
- **[Builds and the preview](https://wranglepress.com/docs/builds-and-preview).** How builds work, how long they take, and how to check the unlisted preview before going live.
- **[Forms](https://wranglepress.com/docs/forms).** How contact forms work on the static copy, the two form modes, recipients and the submissions log.

## Go live

- **[Connect your domain](https://wranglepress.com/docs/connect-domain).** Prove you own your domain with a TXT record, then point it at WranglePress: the DNS records to add, and how to check they work.
- **[Go live](https://wranglepress.com/docs/go-live).** Publish a build and point your domain at WranglePress with no downtime: the DNS records to add, the certificate, and checking the live site.
- **[Make WordPress private](https://wranglepress.com/docs/private-wordpress).** Move WordPress to a private address behind a login, give WranglePress a key to read it, and close the back door.
- **[Retire WordPress](https://wranglepress.com/docs/retire-wordpress).** Switch WordPress off for good and keep the site online as it is, with no hosting for WordPress, updates or patches.
- **[Edit your site here](https://wranglepress.com/docs/editing).** Edit a site on WranglePress instead of WordPress: click and type on the page, shared headers, footers and sections, new pages, versions and AI assistants.

## Day to day

- **[Publishing, rollback and taking a site offline](https://wranglepress.com/docs/publishing).** How changes reach the live site, how to roll back to an earlier build or version, and how to take a site offline and back online.
- **[Download your site](https://wranglepress.com/docs/download-your-site).** Get a ZIP of every page and file of a build, to keep as a backup or put on another host. Large downloads resume if interrupted.
- **[What works on the static copy](https://wranglepress.com/docs/what-works).** Which WordPress features work on the static copy, which need a setting, and which don't work.
- **[Troubleshooting](https://wranglepress.com/docs/troubleshooting).** Fixes for failed builds, missing pages, broken styles, forms that don't arrive, domains and certificates.

## Account

- **[Use WranglePress from an AI assistant](https://wranglepress.com/docs/ai-assistants).** Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code or Cursor to WranglePress and manage many sites by asking in plain words.
- **[Your team](https://wranglepress.com/docs/team).** Invite people to your team, choose their roles (owner, admin or member), see what each role can do, and decide whether clients need an account.
- **[Plans and billing](https://wranglepress.com/docs/billing).** The free trial, choosing a plan, changing plans, invoices and cancelling: what each step does and what happens to your sites.
- **[Security and your data](https://wranglepress.com/docs/security).** What WranglePress protects, what you still need to look after yourself, and what data we keep about you and your sites.
