Getting Started

Introduction

Once you have finished with the JetBackup for WordPress Installation, it is time to set up the software for the first time!

First, log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard and navigate to JetBackup for WordPress from the left Navigation Bar.

Initial Setup

When you open JetBackup for WordPress for the first time, you will be prompted to enter your JetBackup license key found in your Client Area.

NOTE Please make sure that there are no blank spaces on either side of the license key, as this will prevent the authentication from working properly.

You will then be redirected to the Backups section of the JetBackup for WordPress Plugin.

* If your license has already reached its limit, you may either upgrade your license or remove one of the websites already associated with your license via the JetApps Client Area. For instructions on how to do so, please visit How to unlink Websites from your JetBackup for WordPress license.
