Tools
Quick actions for managing your site
The Tools page (open your site → Tools) is a hub of quick actions. Some open a small dialog right there; others jump to the dedicated page for that feature. There's a search box at the top to filter the list.

Tools-only actions
A few actions only live here:
- Restart services — a clean restart of the site's PHP, nginx, database, and Redis. The site is briefly unreachable; nothing on disk or in the database changes. Handy if the site is acting up.
- Fix site — re-copies the MagicWP plugin and reconfigures Redis to restore dashboard access (for example, after restoring a backup into an empty environment).
- Database prefix — renames all your WordPress tables to a new prefix
(e.g.
wpab12_), a common hardening step.
Changing the database prefix is safe by design
MagicWP backs up the database first and puts the site in maintenance for a moment while it renames the tables. If anything fails, the change is rolled back automatically.
Resetting or deleting a site
Reset Site and Delete Site aren't here — they live in the site's Settings → Danger Zone, where each asks you to type a confirmation word.
