SOIS Webspace (How to) - Removing WordPress Sites

This KB article outlines the recommended method for removing WordPress sites from accounts on the SOIS WEB (cPanel) server

***** UWM VPN Requirement for Administrative Tasks *****

The SOISWEB environment requires a UWM VPN connection (for access off-campus), an on-campus wired connection, or a WiFi connection to UWMWiFi or Eduroam WiFi (not Guest) for web server administrative tasks such as SFTP/SSH and cPanel web portal access.

Instructions on installation/setup and usage of the UWM VPN can be found here: VPN Knowledgebase Articles

If you encounter problems connecting to the SOISWEB environment after this change is implemented, please contact the UWM Helpdesk to report the issue.
