# WordPress Advanced Administration Handbook

This is the repository for the **WordPress Advanced Administration Handbook** a collaboration between the Hosting Team and the Documentation Team.

The **WordPress Advanced Administration Handbook** will be a new section in the "Hub" [developer.wordpress.org](https://developer.wordpress.org/) where all the most technical documentation for users and developers will be moved, so the documentation will be simple, and this one will have code and be more complex.

- [Handbook](https://github.com/WordPress/Advanced-administration-handbook)

- [x] Phase 3: Publish a first version of the Advanced Admin Documentation.
- [ ] Phase 4: Check and improve the content.

Reseller accounts Admin accounts may need to click **User Level**. They must first log in as Reseller if the relevant domain is a Reseller's primary domain… or log in as a User if the domain is not a Reseller's primary domain. If it's the Reseller's primary domain, then when logged in as Reseller, simply click **User Level**. However if the relevant domain is not the Reseller's primary domain, then you must log in as a User. Then click **MySQL Management**. (If not readily visible, perhaps you need to return to the Reseller or Admin level, and modify the “Manage user package” or “Manage Reseller package” to enable MySQL.)

In MySQL Management, click on the small words: **Create new database**. Here you are asked to submit two suffixes for the database and its username. For maximum security, use two different sets of 4-6 random characters. Then the password field has a Random button that generates an 8-character password. You may also add more characters to the password for maximum security. Click **Create**. The next screen will summarize the database, username, password and hostname. Be sure to copy and paste these into a text file for future reference.
