How to Access and Configure Weebly Website Builder

Weebly Website Builder is a user-friendly, drag-and-drop website builder that allows users to create professional websites without coding skills. For WebHostingM customers and resellers, Weebly integrates seamlessly within the WHMCS Customer Area, making it easy to manage and edit websites directly. This guide outlines the steps to access and configure Weebly, whether you're a customer or an admin user.

Accessing the Weebly Site Builder as a Customer

Customers with an active Weebly service can access the Weebly Site Builder directly from their WHMCS Customer Area:

1. Log in to your Customer Area on WebHostingM.
2. Upon login, you'll see a Weebly box with a direct link to manage your website.
3. If you have multiple Weebly services, use the dropdown to select the domain you wish to edit.
4. Click Manage to initiate a single sign-on (SSO) into the Weebly editor, which will open in a new window.
5. You can also access the Weebly Site Builder through a specific hosting package. Navigate to your Hosting Package details and click on the Weebly Manage button.

Admin Access to Weebly Site Builder

WHMCS admins can manage Weebly services directly from the Admin Area, allowing for easy access to the Weebly editor for customer support and configurations.

1. In the WHMCS Admin Area, navigate to the product or add-on service you want to manage.
2. Click on the Manage Order button within the module commands to initiate a single sign-on and access the Weebly editor for that specific site.

Pre-Requirements and System Compatibility

• Server Compatibility: Ensure your server is running Apache 2.4 or later, PHP 7.4 or higher (PHP 8.1 and 8.2 supported), and MySQL 8.0 or a compatible MariaDB version.
• FTP Credentials: Verify that FTP credentials are configured correctly, as Weebly uses FTP to publish content to the server.

Troubleshooting Access and Publishing Issues

1. Confirm FTP Settings: Ensure that FTP credentials are accurate. Update if necessary by modifying the FTP Host, FTP Username, FTP Password, and FTP Path in the Admin Area.
2. Check Browser Pop-Up Settings: Make sure pop-ups are allowed for the WHMCS Customer Area, as the Weebly editor opens in a new window.
3. Clear Cache: If you encounter issues accessing Weebly, clear your browser cache and try again.

Additional Tips

• Resellers can manage multiple Weebly services efficiently by using the WHMCS Admin single sign-on feature.
• Encourage customers to bookmark the direct Weebly editor link for easy access from their Customer Area.
