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.

    • The main site's WordPress Password

Since a WordPress Network site works differently than a single WordPress site, in your Websites Tab, you will see two instances of the main website.

Divi Dash - Websites Lists

That's because both instances are different:

  1. The first one is the network admin area https://leadplay.s4-tastewp.com/wp-admin/network from where you can control the entire WordPress Network settings

  2. The second one is the admin area of the main site: https://leadplay.s4-tastewp.com/wp-admin from where you can control the settings of the main WordPress site inside your network
