If you host sites for your clients, you might want to send them beautiful updates that details the recent performance of their site.
To help you make these look even more professional and complete, we’ve created a way to add your company logo to your account, which will automatically white label all of your reports for you without the need to individually customize them. Pretty sweet, right?!
If you take advantage of our easy GitHub integration, this one’s for you!
Last month, we released a new set of toggles that give you the flexibility to synchronize your plugins and/or themes directories. Additionally, you can decide whether to delete theme files and/or plugin files that are not present in the repository. Learn more about this here.
Simple yet powerful! We hope this makes things even easier for you.
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 have heard your feedback and are excited to share the news that a beautiful update is coming to your MyPressable dashboard! You can expect to see it on Monday, November 13, 2023.
Equal parts aesthetic and function, the enhancements will provide a more modern, intuitive experience while still packing a powerful punch. Here’s a sneak preview of your new welcome page:
You’ll note that the menu items currently in your top navigation menu will be moved to the left. The Knowledge Base and News Center will move to the upper left menu, while your Settings, Activity, and other menu options will move to the lower left by your name:
You’ll see even more navigational improvements on your new Site Details pages. Once again, your horizontal menu items will move to the left, making it easier to see and access the available tools and features. Here’s an example of how that page will look when the update is released:
And of course, if you’re a dark mode lover like many of us are, we have you covered in the new design. Here’s a preview of what that will look like should you choose to enable it:
These are just a few examples of the improvements you can expect to see soon in your MyPressable Dashboard.
Prior to launch, we will publish a full inventory of the changes in case you need a little help finding things or just want to see what was updated. We’ll be sure to post a link to it here in your News Center when it’s available.
Until then, we thank you for choosing Pressable and look forward to sharing the new experience with you soon!
We are excited to share that you can now track various actions taken on your Pressable account and sites within the My.Pressable.com Dashboard.
These logs are categorized into two sections: Site Activity Logs and Account Activity Logs.
As the names suggest, one provides details of the activities and events taken on your Pressable site(s) and the other provides you with a window into the diverse interactions occurring within your My.Pressable.com Dashboard.
These features are accessible today through your My.Pressable.com Dashboard and the Pressable API.
Pressable is thrilled to announce Edge Cache across all plans, a free performance feature that allows your WordPress site to leverage our global network of edge servers to deliver page and static asset cache.
Edge Cache provides performance improvements, particularly to the Time to First Byte (TTFB), by serving page cache directly from the closest server available to a site’s visitors. This cache is served from Pressable’s four origin datacenters, and over 24 edge datacenters, giving sites a total of 28 Point of Presence (PoP) locations that are continuously expanding.
Edge Caching is being released in beta; however, has been tested extensively, including on some of our largest sites, high-traffic sites.
In your MyPressable Control Panel, you now have a new tab in your Site Details menu.
In this new section, you can find:
Light Weight 404 With this simple toggle, you can improve your site’s performance by allowing Nginx to handle static file requests directly, without passing them through WordPress. This can help reduce the load on your server and improve the overall speed and responsiveness of your site.
Jetpack Settings Easily locate details about your Jetpack license, options table values, your license key, the date it was issued, and a button to reset the license. Learn more about setting your license here.
We know a robust API is important for many of our customers. As such, we have been adding even more webhooks to help you subscribe to events that matter most to you.
There may be times when you build your site on Pressable but don’t assign a live domain to it right away. When this happens, you may find that your site doesn’t have an SSL certificate and you will need to re-provision one.
With this new feature, you can do that from the Domains tab in your control panel with just one click.
To re-provision your SSL certificate, simply click the reset icon to the right of your domain.
If you already have a valid SSL certificate, you may see an error message, but if your site does not yet have a valid certificate this should generate one. You only need to click the icon once, we will include all secondary domains attached to the site in the certificate.
If you are still having trouble with SSL not working as expected please contact our support team for further assistance.
We hope this new feature makes managing your sites even easier. Thanks for choosing Pressable!

Introducing: Cross-Site Restores and Improved Site Environment Access
We are honored to be your WordPress hosting provider and we’re committed to providing you with the best possible experience. We are constantly working to improve our platform and are excited to announce two new features this month that we believe will make it even better to work with Pressable. They are:
Easier Live and Staging Site Access. We’ve added some quick access tabs inside your MyPressable dashboard, making it faster and easier than ever before to navigate from child sites (clones/staging) to your parent site (production), and vice versa. From this area, you can also quickly create new staging sites or clones of your existing production site. Simply visit one of your MyPressable Site pages and give it a try!
Cross-Site Restores. Pressable’s new cross-site restore functionality allows you to restore a backup from one site to another site in your account. This is a useful feature if you need to restore a site to a previous point in time, or if you need to move a site to a new server. Click here to learn how you can put these to work for you.
We hope you like them! And as always, if you have any questions or feedback, or even if you have an idea for a feature that you’d like to see us build, please know we’re always just a quick chat away! Thanks for choosing Pressable!
Managing multiple sites is now even easier thanks to the new OnePress Login.
Using it, you can quickly and easily log in to your WordPress environments through the MyPressable Control Panel with just one press.
If you would like to use this feature, visit your settings in the top right menu, and under “Sites” you can choose to install the OnePress Login to WordPress plugin on all of your current and future active sites.

Once OnePress has been enabled, you’ll see the button on your individual sites

Easy as can be!
We hope you enjoy this new feature. If you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us in chat.
We know it’s hard to keep up with everything that’s going on, especially when it comes to your inbox.
Emails can be missed or simply forgotten in a flurry of activity, which is why we wanted to give you an easy way to stay on top of everything related to your Pressable account.
In your MyPressable notifications, you’ll find helpful updates about your plans as well as information about new features and enhancements. We are working toward adding additional details, including billing updates and site-specific notifications so you’ll never miss an important message again.
We are grateful for the trust you’ve put in us and we are eager to make your Pressable experience the best it can be. Please don’t hesitate to open a chat with us should you have any questions, requests, or feedback for us. We love hearing from you.
