A couple of months ago, we quietly launched a Plugin Management feature that makes it easy to schedule updates for the plugins you want, when you want, while leaving others as prescribed. Now that we’ve been able to incorporate feedback from our early adopters, we’re thrilled to announce the release to everyone!
This new tool makes it easy to manage your site’s plugins directly from your My Pressable Control Panel (MPCP) without having to access the WordPress Admin backend. You can learn more about it here, but this the short version of its awesome story:
- You can set up to two plugin update schedules, choosing which plugins you’d like the tool to update and when you’d like it to do so.
- Before making any changes, we’ll run a site performance report. This will later give you a “before and after” to see if any of the plugin updates impacted your site’s performance.
- A snapshot is made of your site and cloned to a staging environment where the update is performed. This lets the tool detect any potential update issues in an isolated environment – never on your live production site.
- After the update is performed in an isolated staging environment, the tool runs additional health and performance tests on your site. Once everything is determined to be working as expected, we’ll include notes about it in your plugin management reports.
Easy as can be, right?
Since this functionality requires additional processing and reporting resources, Pressable’s Plugin Management feature is a paid upgrade that can be purchased on a per-site basis for just $3/mo or $30/yr with annual billing.
We hope you find this helpful, and as always, we thank you for choosing Pressable!
