Why use the PS Manager Prestashop autologin?

Do you need to access your Prestashop site urgently but can't remember your login details? Do you have several Prestashop sites on the same hosting, but find it tedious to fill in the login details each time you connect to their dashboard? Several people work on the Prestashop sites and you don't want to distribute the login details to all of them.

Here are a few situations that may justify taking advantage of the auto-login functionality offered via PS Manager.

How do I use PS Manager to connect to my Prestashop site?

First of all, you need to connect to your LWS account and access the shared hosting containing the Prestashop site you want to connect to.

Then click on"PS Manager" in the"Software" section of your web hosting.

Then click on the"Connect" button of the site you wish to connect to.

When you first connect automatically from your browser, it may block auto-connection, so you need to authorise it by following this procedure:

Click on the icon (1) which appears on your navigation bar and select that you want to authorise the connection in the suggestions (2) before confirming (3).

This function, although very practical, still requires at least one SuperAdmin user to exist in the shop. Consequently, if there is no SuperAdmin, the action will fail. Also, the user chosen for the connection will always be the 1st SuperAdmin found on the site.

As you may already have noticed from the illustration, the login button may be greyed out and therefore unusable. This happens when the PHP version of your hosting is not compatible with the version of Prestashop installed on the site in question. The PHP versions that are compatible are as follows (image taken from the Prestasoo site):

If you don't know how to change the PHP version of your hosting, you can follow this tutorial.
