If there is one thing WordPress hosting providers and agencies learn quickly, it’s that clients work best when they have the right level of access and clarity. Whether it’s having insight into what’s happening behind the scenes or sharing a site that’s still in progress – there is less confusion and more job done if your tools support everyone involved. That’s the idea behind PanelAlpha v1.3.0 – a set of updates built to keep everyone in sync and make everyday work easier on all sides.
Helping clients troubleshoot, one log at a time
Not that you’re not happy to help when something comes up – but wouldn’t it be easier if your clients could handle the basics on their own? With version 1.3.0, they finally can, as essential logs are now directly available inside the client area, and sorted into:
- Instance Logs
- WordPress Error Logs
- PHP Logs
- Webserver Logs
It means less back-and-forth, faster issue resolution, and more time for you to focus on the bigger challenges (or just enjoy a coffee without Slack blowing up). And for clients, it’s a clear step forward in transparency and control, right where they manage everything else in PanelAlpha.
Dark Mode – A gentler view for long workdays (and nights)
Clients often find themselves making updates after hours – reviewing content, applying changes, or testing fixes late in the day. And when they do, a bright interface doesn’t help at all.
That’s why Dark Mode is now available in the client area. One toggle, and they’re working in a calmer, low-light environment better suited for long sessions. It’s a small adjustment, but one that makes working late feel a whole lot more comfortable – whether it’s dealing with an unexpected issue that can’t wait until morning, or simply a matter of preference.
Did you know? Dark Mode isn’t just about looking cool (although, let’s be honest, it absolutely does) – studies have shown it can reduce eye strain and even squeeze a few more minutes out of your laptop battery. But above all, it’s about your health and comfort.
Share what’s ready (and hide what’s not)
Building a website is rarely a solo effort. Clients often collaborate with developers, designers, or marketing specialists, but that doesn’t always mean they’re ready to share access to the live site. Now, staging environments can be shared on their own, while production stays private until everything’s in place.
It’s a thoughtful improvement that helps clients manage access levels more confidently, involve the right people at the right time, and keep the review process focused, safe, and professional.
Keep your WP Cloud structure clear and simple
One day it’s all neat and tidy – the next, you’re staring at a pile of client projects, experimental builds, and internal playgrounds all jumbled together. That’s why we’re giving you the option to set each WP Cloud instance as billable, staging, or internal.
It sounds simple, but it makes managing your cloud environment way smoother. No more second-guessing which instance is invoice-worthy and which one’s just that side project no one has touched in months. It helps tighten up your workflows, avoids awkward billing mistakes, and keeps things sharp and tidy, the way we all secretly wish they always were.
A few final thoughts
So far this year, we’ve delivered WithoutDNS integration, File Manager, and now we’re handing you PanelAlpha v1.3.0, providing those quality-of-life accessories you didn’t know you’d rely on this much. But no surprise here – we’re already deep into what comes next for our platform. Until we drop another update, enjoy the new features, and remember, fewer support tickets and a happier client base start right here.
