How To Add a Site to BetterShield Hub?

2 min read

Open a site's BetterShield Hub screen from its address, install BetterShield when needed and approve the connection on the site.

The Hub Add a site screen opens the site’s own BetterShield connection page. Hub never connects a site by address alone.

Note: Sign in to your free BetterShield Hub account. Your workspace role and site permissions determine which information and actions you can use.

What it does

Enter a site address to open BetterShield › Hub there. If BetterShield is not installed, the screen also offers the site’s WordPress plugin installer.

Step 1: Open Add a site

In Hub, select Add a site.

BetterShield Hub Add a site screen with a site address field and the three connection steps.
Only someone who can manage the WordPress site can finish its connection.

Step 2: Add a site to BetterShield Hub

  • Enter The site’s address, such as example.com. The field starts empty.
  • Select Open BetterShield › Hub.
  • Sign in to WordPress if needed.
  • Choose what Hub may do and select Connect to BetterShield Hub.
  • Approve the site’s own consent page.

The completed connection returns you to Hub with the site’s score and findings.

Our advice:

  • Use the live site’s canonical address.
  • Start read-only if the workspace only needs reporting.
  • Confirm the site name and address after it appears in Hub.

What it can break and how to undo

Opening the address changes nothing. A connected Hub with change access can later apply supported plans after confirmation.

Use Disconnect on BetterShield › Hub in WordPress to end the connection. Removing the site from Hub alone may leave the site-side connection until it can confirm.

Final Outcome

The site appears under Sites.

  • Its page shows a score, findings and a recent Last read.
  • The WordPress Hub screen shows it as connected.
