At this rate, I don’t think that I will need much effort to prove Hristo wrong. I haven’t even started exploring Site Tools; yet, I have already many issues with SiteGround new control panel. Unbelievable or not, even the tools that were great before (the migration) are no more functioning. The other side of the coin is that I will not run out of material for my blog.
Nope this post will not be about SiteGround New Client Area and Site Tools. Why such a misleading title then? Read on to find out; you may even want to consider reading the previous episode of this never-ending mini-series.
Back in the day, I wrote, In my case, SiteGround takes (good) care of WordPress core updates (both minor and major releases)
. This was before the migration to Site Tools, of course. I thought that SiteGround successfully migrated my account. I came around since!
It will take me more than a week to go through Site Tools with a fine-tooth comb. Therefore, exceptionally there will be no post this week.

Fifteen months after its due date, the long-awaited and so dreaded moment of the switch to Site Tools was finally completed
. First thing first, let me check if SiteGround did not break anything

Third time lucky! There is no doubt (this time); after fifteen months, the long awaited and dreaded shift to SiteGround new control panel is finally here. The decisive moment is scheduled for Tuesday, January 12, 2021.
I just hope you will not sacrifice quality over simplicity.
This is how I concluded my comment to SiteGround blog post announcing the upcoming new interfaces. Fast-forward 11 months and the turn of events seems to support my misgivings.
So dreaded; still, so desired – if only to be done with it. Seven months after its due date, the long-awaited moment of the migration from the old User Area to the New Client Area was finally here. Would the new interface meet with my expectations?
The long-planned data protection reform was about to be enforced. Everybody was busy getting GDPR-compliant. Everybody but me! In the run-up to the date, I received an email about GDPR. GDP-what?
