  • Create manual backups with an optional note
  • Restore a backup to a target environment

  • Installed only on the Kinsta account holder’s website.
  • Installed on client websites but hidden from everyone except the Kinsta account holder.

You need a manage_options user, a valid MyKinsta API key and a selected environment. Backups apply to the environment chosen in API settings.
  1. In the WordPress dashboard, go to Pine Digital → Kinsta Enhancer.
  2. Confirm API Settings has a valid API key, site, and environment selected.
  3. Under Backups, locate the backup in the list.
  4. Open Restore for that row.
  5. Choose the Target Environment.
  6. If the target is Live, type RESTORE in the confirmation field (admins with the live-restore capability only).
  7. Click Restore Backup.
  8. When the request succeeds, you’ll see a confirmation. Restores run asynchronously — use Check Status with the operation ID to confirm it’s finished.
Your WordPress user email should match a MyKinsta company user (or the company should have only one user), so restore notifications can be assigned. Live restores require the pde_kinsta_restore_live capability (granted to administrators on activation).
The API key is encrypted with PHP OpenSSL using WordPress salts. You may optionally define KINSTA_API_KEY within wp-config.php so the key is not stored in the database.
