June was our biggest month yet. Seventeen features shipped, touching portfolio management, AI-powered hosting, team permissions, and developer workflows. Here’s everything we launched.
We shipped a major expansion to Pressable MCP, adding hands-on operational tasks to the commands you can run through your AI assistant. Caching, backups, WP-CLI, SSL, environment transfers, password resets: all of it now works through simple prompts without opening a dashboard.
New capabilities include:
If you’re already connected, all new capabilities are available now with no reconfiguration needed. If you haven’t set it up yet, setup takes under two minutes.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable and go to Tools → Pressable MCP.
You can now disconnect all active SSH and SFTP sessions across a batch of sites in one operation. Previously this required visiting each site dashboard individually. The new Disconnect SSH option in the Bulk Operations wizard drops all active remote terminal connections for your selected properties simultaneously, without touching credentials, file permissions, or any existing site data. Inactive properties are automatically skipped and logged in your operations history.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open Tools → Bulk Operations, and select Disconnect SSH.
Two new options in the Bulk Operations menu, Enable Site and Disable Site, let you update availability status across a batch of sites in a single run. The site picker updates based on which operation you choose: it shows only disabled properties when enabling and only live properties when disabling. Each site processes independently, so an issue with one property does not interrupt the rest of the batch.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open Tools → Bulk Operations, and select Enable Site or Disable Site.
You can now add administrative notes to multiple sites at once from the Bulk Operations menu. The Add a Note option includes fields for a subject and message body, and entries populate directly into the notebook log on each selected site. Notes are immediately visible to any user with existing access to view notes on those properties.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open Tools → Bulk Operations, and select Add a Note.
Client site handoffs now run as a batch workflow. The Transfer Sites option in the Bulk Operations menu lets you enter a destination email and confirm your account password, then issue independent transfer invitations to the target account for every site in the batch. Ownership only transfers after the recipient accepts, consistent with our standard security model. The site picker automatically filters to eligible properties, and transfer status is logged per site in your operations history.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open Tools → Bulk Operations, and select Transfer Sites.
You can now clone multiple sites into new environments in a single batch operation. The Clone Sites option in the Bulk Operations menu lets you target Production, Staging, or Sandbox as the destination for all clones in the run. The cloning engine copies all files, databases, and settings without modifying the originals. Sites that would exceed plan limits are automatically skipped with the specific reason logged in your history, and the rest of the batch continues uninterrupted.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open Tools → Bulk Operations, and select Clone Sites.
You can now set PHP filesystem permissions across multiple sites at once. The new Set PHP FS Permission option in the Bulk Operations menu offers three modes: full Read/Write, strict Read Only, and a hybrid Read Only unless logged into WordPress. Inactive or unavailable sites are skipped automatically and noted separately in the run log.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open Tools → Bulk Operations, and select Set PHP FS Permission.
The new Change Site Environment option in the Bulk Operations menu lets you move a batch of sites between Production, Staging, and Sandbox in a single step, automatically clearing each site’s cache during the conversion. Sites that are not eligible, such as those with live custom domains attached or accounts at plan limits, are skipped with the reason noted. A new DupliKit filter in the site picker makes it easier to include or exclude DupliKit sites from the selection.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open Tools → Bulk Operations, and select Change Site Environment.
Three new edge cache actions are now available in the Bulk Operations menu: Clear Edge Cache, Enable Edge Cache, and Disable Edge Cache. You can apply any of these across a batch or your entire account in a single operation. Sites that are already in your selected state are automatically skipped.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open Tools → Bulk Operations, and select Edge Cache.
The Flush Object Cache option in the Bulk Operations menu lets you clear temporary cached data across production, staging, and sandbox environments at once. This is particularly useful after database imports or content migrations. Every flush updates the respective site’s activity timeline automatically.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open Tools → Bulk Operations, and select Flush Object Cache.
You can now permanently remove plugins across multiple sites in a single batch operation. The Remove Plugins option in the Bulk Operations menu deletes plugin files from the server entirely, not just deactivates them, making it useful for responding to security advisories or cleaning up retired tools across a large portfolio. You can target one plugin or many at once by entering slugs separated by commas or spaces. The site picker filters to properties where your profile has verified plugin management rights, and unavailable sites are skipped and logged without interrupting the rest of the run.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open Tools → Bulk Operations, and select Remove Plugins.
You can now toggle maintenance mode across multiple sites at once from the Bulk Operations menu. The site-selection screen automatically filters out sandbox environments, keeping the view focused on eligible production and staging properties. Progress updates are visible in real time from the Bulk Operations history list.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open Tools → Bulk Operations, and select Toggle Maintenance Mode.
Sites created outside of the cloning workflow can now be linked as environments of one another directly from the MyPressable dashboard. A new Attach Environment button on the Environments card lets you search for and connect any existing standalone site. Linking two sites updates the Environments layout on both properties automatically. Manually linked environments display a “Linked” badge to distinguish them from cloned setups, and a Detach option lets you dissolve a relationship without affecting the underlying site data.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, open your site’s Overview screen, and use the link icon on the Environments panel.
All GitHub deployment configuration features are now available through the public Pressable API, covering token management, repository synchronization, branch queries, deployment triggering, and history retrieval. Dedicated Read and Edit OAuth permission scopes let administrators restrict programmatic access based on security requirements. The new endpoints connect to existing site-level user roles, so programmatic requests respect account permission hierarchies the same way the dashboard does. Sites that require account upgrades before enabling the integration will receive explicit messaging directing them to support.
How to get started: Review the updated endpoint structures and authentication examples in the official API documentation under the Git subsection.
The separate collaborator creation and removal toggles have been consolidated into a single Manage Collaborators checkbox under the User Management permissions group. Enabling it grants full access to add users, update privileges, and remove access. Existing team profiles with either of the legacy permissions have been automatically migrated with no action required.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, navigate to your Collaborators tab when editing a team profile, and update the Manage Collaborators checkbox.
The previous Download Backups and Restore Site collaborator checkboxes have been combined into a single Manage Backups & Restores permission. This setting covers backup downloads, site restores, and access to the Data Transfer tool. Existing collaborators who previously had either backup or restore access have been automatically moved to the new permission.
How to get started: Log in to MyPressable, head to the Collaborators tab when editing a team profile, and use the new Manage Backups & Restores checkbox.
The Data Transfer tool now shows a persistent “In Progress” badge while a background site move is running. The transfer launch button disables itself during active jobs to prevent duplicate transfers from starting. Opening the tool during an active transfer displays a status reminder, and the page resets itself automatically once the transfer completes.
How to get started: Open the Site Tools section on any site undergoing a data move. The Data Transfer card shows real-time status and unlocks once the transfer finishes.
