Administration Tools

Please note, that this entire section of Admin->Settings is only visible after you click one of the “Show Advanced Options” buttons.

Some Add-Ons can install extra Administration Tools, which then become available in this section of your Admin.

Reload Add-ons (Advanced)

You should always use the Admin->Add-ons section to install and uninstall your add-ons. In some rare occasions, however, you may need to manually install or uninstall an add-on – for instance, when you are developing your own add-on. In this case, after you have manually uploaded/deleted your add-on, you need to warn WB to reset its configurations.
To do that, click on “Reload Add-ons”, select the type of add-on you would like WB to reload, and then click the “Reload” button.

Backup (Advanced)

Use this tool to download a backup of the backend MySQL database used in your site. You can choose to download a backup of all the tables in the database (good choice, if the database is used exclusively for your site), or only WB-specific tables (better choice if your database is shared with other sites and programs).
To create the backup, click on “Backup”, select the appropriate choice, then click on the “Backup Database” button.

Note:
this is not a complete backup of your entire WB site!

To fully backup your WB site, using your ftp client you should also make a copy of your site's entire directory, including all of WB configuration files, and add-ons.
