Your installations and available slots
When you open WordPressBuilder ai, “Your WordPress installations” lists every installation with its status: “Draft”, “being set up”, “running” or “paused”. Above them you see how many slots are taken and which plan applies; how many slots you have depends on your plan. “Tiles” and “List” switch the view, and your browser remembers your choice.
“Open” takes you into the installation’s workbench. When it is running, the tile also shows “To the site ↗”, “WP-Admin” and “Database” — the last two open the workbench with the WordPress back end or the database tool straight in the preview window. In the list, the way into the workbench is called “Manage”, and “WP-Admin ↗” opens the back end in a new window.
An available slot appears as a “Set up WordPress” tile; it opens “New installation” with all three ways of creating an installation. When every slot is taken, the “All slots taken” card names the next plan with more installations and its monthly price (excluding VAT), and “View packages” takes you to where you book it; if there is no plan with more installations, the card says exactly that. If you have no installation yet, the three ways appear straight away instead of the overview. Without a WordPress plan you book one first — see Booking a plan.
- Open WordPressBuilder ai.
- Choose “Tiles” or “List” for the overview.
- Click “Open” on an installation (“Manage” in the list) — the workbench opens with it.
- For a new installation, click the free “Set up WordPress” tile.
An empty WordPress at the press of a button
The shortest way: you enter just a name and get a fresh WordPress — no AI and no AI credit involved. If your account has a brand in BrandStudio, the “With my brand” switch appears below; when it is on, the site carries your colours, typeface and logo from the start (see Creating it with your brand).
The first installation of your account runs at your account address, for example cafe-lumen.wp.kenjtec.ai; every further one gets an address made from its name. An empty WordPress starts with a German interface. You add another language in the Control Panel under “Languages”: first “Install language”, then “Activate language”.
Before a WordPress site goes online, it must be clear who is behind it: company or operator, postal address, and an email address or phone number. If anything is missing, WordPressBuilder tells you what, and you add it in BrandStudio (Before anything goes online).
If you have several brands, WordPressBuilder asks “Which brand?” when you set up a site — see Which brand each project uses.
- Click the free “Set up WordPress” tile — if you have no installation yet, the field is already there.
- Enter the name under “Site name”, for example “Café Lumen”.
- Switch on “With my brand” if the site should carry your brand.
- Click “Set up WordPress” and wait until the tile shows “running”.
If setting up fails, the installation shows “paused”. You restart it in the workbench — see Setting the draft up on WordPress.
A draft from one sentence
Describe your business in one sentence and Kenji, KENJTEC’s AI, drafts a WordPress site from it: theme, colours, typeface, up to eight pages with text, the menu and suitable plugins. The default theme is KENJTEC One, KENJTEC’s own theme; if another well-known theme fits better, Kenji picks that one.
Kenji invents nothing: no prices, addresses, phone numbers or opening hours you did not mention. If Kenji creates pages such as a legal notice or a privacy page, they contain no legal text — you add that yourself. Kenji chooses the language from your sentence; for WordPress the choice is German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch or Turkish. You set any other language in the Control Panel after setting up.
The draft takes up a slot and shows as “Draft” in your overview. Nothing happens on WordPress yet: the middle of the workbench shows the plan, and on the left the planned pages with their position — “Home page”, “in the menu”, “in the footer” or “not in the menu”. It is only set up when you say so.
- Open “New installation” — or, without any installation, simply WordPressBuilder.
- Under “or let Kenji draft it”, write one sentence about your business.
- Click “Create draft”. While “Kenji is designing your WordPress site …” is showing, the draft is being made.
- Look at the plan in the workbench and change whatever does not fit.
The draft uses AI credit; your AI bar shows how much is left.
Changing the draft
You change the draft in conversation with Kenji: the round button with the K at the bottom right opens the Kenji window, and at the top it shows WordPressBuilder, the name of your site and its state: “Draft”, “Sandbox” or “Live”. One sentence is enough: different colours, one more page, a shorter text. Kenji rewrites the draft, below his answer it says “Done — the draft of your WordPress site has been changed.”, and the plan shows the new version. Every change uses AI credit.
What you entered yourself stays: Kenji reads your details from the Console — company, offer, theme, colours, typeface, salutation and tone of voice — and writes with them, but never rewrites them. Anything that has a field is therefore better entered in the Console; that uses no AI credit. Kenji is for everything that won’t fit into a field.
Once the site is running, Kenji never changes it from the window: he passes whatever should happen to it to the WordPress operator as a job, and you confirm the operator’s plan in the window before anything happens. In the Control Panel, the “Edit with Kenji” button above the tabs opens the same window (Let Kenji operate it).
- Open the installation that still shows “Draft”.
- Open the Kenji window at the bottom right and write what should change, for example “Make the Catering page shorter and mention company breakfasts”.
- Send it and look at the new plan as soon as “Done” appears in the window.
Setting the draft up on WordPress
As long as an installation is not running, the “Set up on WordPress” box sits below the preview. “Show me what would happen” lists every step before anything happens: installing WordPress, theme, plugins, pages, menu and settings. Steps marked “may fail” do not stop the set-up if they go wrong. “Reload plan” fetches the list again after a change.
“Set up” runs the steps in order and uses no AI credit. If an important step fails, the set-up stops, the installation shows “paused”, and you see where it got stuck; then you try again. A site that is already running is never set up a second time.
The same rule applies here: company or operator, postal address and email or phone must be in place first. If you chose “With my brand”, the brand is applied as the last step.
- Open the draft in the workbench.
- In the “Set up on WordPress” box, click “Show me what would happen” and read the steps.
- Click “Set up”.
- Wait until the installation shows “running” — the preview then shows your real site.
Deleting an installation
“Delete” on the tile removes an installation for good: files, database and its address. It also works for drafts and paused installations, and the slot is available again afterwards. If your own domain was in front of it, the domain is detached; it stays under your management in DomainStudio.
Because it is final, WordPressBuilder asks twice: you type the installation’s name and enter your account password. If you want to keep content, export it first, for example with WordPress’s own export in WP-Admin. If the installation has a sandbox, delete that first (Deleting the sandbox).
- Switch the overview to “Tiles” and click “Delete” on the installation.
- Type the name exactly under “Type the name to confirm:”.
- Enter your password under “Your account password”.
- Click “Delete permanently”.
Deleting cannot be undone in the tool.
