# Strange behavior from UpdraftCentral

 * I’ve been using UpdraftPlus to to back up all of the several sites in my hosting,
   so I decided to install and set up UpdraftCentral to manage them. I installed
   successfully, then followed all the steps with the keys to add 6 sites.
 * It all looked correct, but when I reloaded the page all the sites did not reappear,
   and I saw the message “No sites have yet been set up. Go here to learn how to
   add your first site.”, as before I started.
 * I thought something went wrong, so I re-checked the instructions and started 
   over. So I created a new key on one of the sites, and when I added it, ALL the
   other sites also reappeared in the list.
 * But any time I reload the page, or open the mothership in a new tab, it appears
   empty, as though no sites have been added. I can’t find any way to get them to
   display again, except reinstalling a new key from one of them.
 * I’m using up to date Chrome on Ubuntu 16.04, with no script blockers active.
 * Thanks for help.
 * PS: When the sites do appear, I don’t see any way to manage the sites from the
   mothership console itself, only buttons to open the top level of the dashboard
   of each site in a new tab. It’s just like logging in, not even on the UpdraftPlus
   plugin settings page where I can manage the backups, or the updates page where
   I could update plugins and themes. I’d have to navigate to those areas manually,
   in the tab the site has opened in. Is that the extent of what it is supposed 
   to do? Or am I missing some feature that is not loading?
 * Here’s what I see when the added sites are present:

 * Sensible, but this is a question the author needs to deal with on their own site.
 * For pro or commercial product support please contact the author directly on their
   site.

 * As the author is aware, commercial products are [not supported in these forums](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products).
   As you are their customer I am sure they will have no problem supporting you 
   there.

 * You’re kidding me, right? I know they offer premium support for the paid versions
   of their products, but I am using the free version, not the paid version of this
   plugin. The author displays a link to this forum for support with their free 
   products. Half the plugins people discuss in these forums have both free and 
   paid versions, and much discussion occurs, so this is an unsatisfying answer.
 * I’m hoping you or someone else will reply with something more than this…

 * Hi,
 * This is the support forum for UpdraftPlus, for support for UpdraftCentral you
   should post here:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftcentral](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftcentral)
 * As for your issue can you try adding a site again but this time with the developer
   console open (Press Ctrl+Shift+J to open this) and screenshot any error messages
   in the console to help us work out whats going on.
 * As for the part about managing the site, in the screenshot you have posted there
   is a sidebar menu on the left which has menu items that will allow you to manage
   UpdraftPlus backup settings and Advanced tools, WordPress upgrades and UpdraftVault.
 * The premium version also allows you to manage users and comments.
 * Best Wishes,
 * Ashley
