Managing multiple websites efficiently can be daunting. With Divi Dash, WordPress site owners, developers, and designers can quickly manage the most important aspects of a WordPress site, such as managing installed plugins, themes, users, and much more.
Divi Dash is a comprehensive dashboard designed to simplify and enhance the management of any WordPress site. It offers a quick and easy way to manage any WordPress site.
This article will guide you through the steps of adding the first WordPress site to your Divi Dash.

Important note: If you are using any 2 Factor Authentification (2FA) plugins or a Bot prevention system, adding a WordPress site to Divi Dash might not work. In this case, please use the alternative method of using a Connection Key.

Important Note: Divi Dash requires a secure connection, so you will need SSL enabled on the website. When you attempt to add a website with the HTTP protocol, the Divi Dash will change to HTTPS and try to connect. Often, the process will fail if your website does not use a secure connection.
The WordPress site will be added to your Divi Dash, and while the process is finishing up, you can keep adding another website by clicking on the Add Another Website button or check the Dashboard page of the one you just added by clicking on the View Website Dashboard button.
