We’re excited to introduce the newest improvements in cPanel & WHM! Version 130 brings vital feature enhancements, user experience upgrades, and critical security updates to help you manage your hosting environments more efficiently and securely. Let’s dive into what’s new:
Panel and Hosting Experience
Account Preferences Just Got Smarter
You can now change your account password and update your contact information directly from the Account Preferences interface in cPanel. These frequently used settings are now easier to find and manage, helping users stay in control of their accounts without digging through menus.
Apache Log Format Enhancements
We’ve updated the default log format settings in WHM’s Global Configuration interface. The switch from %h to %a provides more accurate client IP logging, enhancing both diagnostics and analytics.
Secure Temporary Partition Customization
Admins can now set the size of the /tmp partition secured by securetmp via a new tweak setting. This allows greater control over temporary disk space management.
WP Toolkit Updates
Fleet-Wide WordPress Management
Manage WordPress installations across multiple servers from a single interface. Centralize control and streamline your workflows.
Fleet-Wide PAYG Licensing for WP Guardian
WebPros partners now have exclusive access to pay-as-you-go licensing for the WP Guardian add-on. This means you only pay for the sites that have vulnerability protection enabled—maximizing both security and cost efficiency across your entire server fleet.
Run WP-CLI from the GUI
Execute wp-cli commands directly from the WP Toolkit interface—no SSH required.
