One-click install is the fastest way to add the Backvera plugin. You provide a WordPress administrator login for the site, and Backvera installs and activates a ready-paired plugin for you.
What you need
- An Administrator account on the WordPress site (Editor or Author accounts cannot install plugins).
- That account’s username and password.
Steps
- In the Connect wizard’s Install plugin step, choose One-click install.
- Enter the WordPress admin username and password.
- Start the install. Backvera signs in, uploads the plugin, activates it, and pairs the site.
- The wizard advances to Done and queues your first backup.
Is it safe to enter my password?
Your credentials are used once to perform the install and are held only briefly in memory while it runs. They are not stored on your site record and are not written to logs. If you would rather not share a password, use the ZIP or WP-CLI method instead.
Will this set off a security alert?
Possibly – and that is expected. Because Backvera signs in to your wp-admin from our servers, the sign-in comes from an IP address and location your site has not seen before. Security plugins such as Wordfence – or your web host – may flag it as a login from a new location, a suspicious login, or even a brute-force attempt, and email you an alert.
This is safe and a false alarm. It is simply Backvera performing the install you asked for, signing in once with the credentials you entered. No action is needed.
To confirm the request really is Backvera, our install identifies itself with a Backvera user agent and comes from Backvera’s own IP addresses. You can see the exact user agent and IP list – and allowlist us – in How Backvera appears in your logs.
One-click install needs to reach your
/wp-admin/. If a security plugin or firewall actually blocks the sign-in, allowlist Backvera (see the link above) and try again, or use the ZIP or WP-CLI method. CAPTCHA or two-factor on the admin account cannot be automated – use the ZIP or WP-CLI method. See Fixing one-click install failures.
