How to provide access to your Laravel website

Sometimes Elfsight Support Team might request temporary access to your Laravel website's admin panel. For Laravel sites, we request FTP access.

The article below explains the reasons why and the way of sharing access to your Laravel website.

Why we might need access

Here are the basic reasons:

• to help you install your widget
• to fix compatibility issues
• to customize your widget

4 easy steps to provide access

To find the location of your sharing FTP access area, please contact your hosting provider.

For this article, we will use Elasticweb hosting.

It’s important to delete the users you gave access to your website's backend to when they no longer need it.

Is it safe to provide Elfsight with access?

We request access to a website's backend to work with our widgets only. Our high skilled developers who are extremely good at Laravel will come to the rescue and make things right for you! We're not going to work with any other elements on your website.
