Important Note for The Close Agency Users: This chapter describes features related to hosting a WordPress website directly through the Close Master platform's integrated hosting service. This is typically an optional, add-on service that may or may not be included in your standard Close Master package provided by The Close Agency.
If your agency website is hosted elsewhere (e.g., using GoDaddy Managed WordPress, Bluehost, SiteGround, WP Engine, Kinsta, or another third-party hosting provider), this chapter does NOT apply to you. You would continue to manage your external WordPress site through your hosting provider's control panel and the standard WordPress admin dashboard (/wp-admin).
If, however, The Close Agency *specifically* provides integrated WordPress hosting as part of your service package, then the features described below allow for convenient management and access to certain hosting functions directly within the Close Master interface, alongside your other marketing and CRM tools. Consult with The Close Agency to confirm if this applies to your account.
