WordPress Integration

Learn how to setup WordPress Integration with JetBackup for WordPress.

In the “WordPress Integration” section, you have the option to control whether JetBackup for WordPress is installed either by integration with WP-Toolkit, Softaculous, or WordPress Manager (DirectAdmin). In this section, you can also exclude domain patterns from installation, enter a Partner Token for automatic JetBackup WP Pro licensing during deployment, and a quick toggle to allow Socket API Access for all users. You can choose to install on new or existing sites, or only allow the Socket API access to allow users who install JetBackup WP to restore backups generated in JetBackup 5.

JetBackup WP offers easy to use backup and restore functionality designed with WordPress end users in mind, and features the new ability to restore JetBackup 5 backups from the WP Admin interface for FREE. For more information, visit https://www.jetbackup.com/jetbackup-for-wordpress/

Enable New Installation Hooks

You can choose which vendors to enable for automatic WordPress plugin deployment on new WordPress sites. JetBackup will use the selected vendors to automate plugin installation on your WordPress sites. Options that are unchecked will NOT be used for new installations OR Mass deployment.

This option controls which vendors are enabled for the “Deploy on all WordPress Sites Now” option. For example, if you enable WP Toolkit and click “Mass deploy on all sites”, it will only run on WordPress sites indexed by WP Toolkit.

Note that the WordPress site must meet the minimum requirements for JetBackup WP. (PHP 7.4+, WordPress 6.0+)

Sites to Exclude

Exclude Patterns for the new installation hooks or mass deployment. Note that the pattern should include a path to be valid.

Partner Token

(JetBackup Partners Only)

Allows saving a Partner Token to generate a single-domain JetBackup WP Pro License and install it with the WordPress deployment. This feature is available to JetBackup Partners only - for more information on how to generate a token, refer to the JetLicense documentation.

Allow Socket API for All Users

Toggles the “Allow Socket API Access” permission to “Yes” globally. The Socket API allows secure restore-only access to JetBackup 5 backups within the JetBackup WP user interface.

We recommend keeping this option enabled to allow the Socket API for any clients that install JetBackup WP themselves. While this option functions independently and does not require New Installation Hooks or Mass deployment, the WordPress administrator will need to manually enable the “JetBackup 5 Integration” in JetBackup WP.

Deploy on All WordPress Sites Now

Deploy on all WordPress sites using enabled New Installation Hooks vendors. This will use the selected vendor to list all WordPress paths, and then install JetBackup WP securely through the WordPress marketplace using WP-CLI. If a Partner Token is provided, the key will be automatically generated and installed in JetBackup WP.
