Manage is a centralized management platform that allows users to oversee multiple WordPress websites from a single dashboard. It streamlines administrative tasks like plugin updates, security monitoring via Patchstack, and performance checks, regardless of whether the connected sites use Elementor. This tool centralizes cross-site maintenance into one unified interface to save time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you do with the Manage Dashboard?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Manage provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to reduce the manual labor of maintaining several independent WordPress installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[callout type=”note”]Elementor One users are able to make changes with Manage. The free plugin provides a read-only version of the app.[\/callout]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redesigned Sites View & Navigation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How do you navigate the different site views?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Manage interface is organized into three specific sections to help you filter your workflow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • All Sites View:<\/strong> Displays every website currently connected to your account in one global list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Hosted Sites View:<\/strong> Shows technical and hosting-specific data for websites residing on Elementor Hosting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Managed Sites View:<\/strong> Provides deep-dive management tools for any site connected via the Manage plugin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \"The<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    How does Bulk Management ensure safe updates?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Updating multiple sites individually is time-consuming and risky. Manage solves this through a “Safe Update” protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How does the Database Cleanup tool improve performance?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • One-Click Updates:<\/strong> Deploy new versions of plugins, themes, and WordPress core across every connected site simultaneously.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Automatic Rollbacks:<\/strong> The Manage plugin saves the current configuration before an update, allowing for immediate restoration if a conflict is detected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Vulnerability Monitoring:<\/strong> The system surfaces security threats by cross-referencing your plugins with the Patchstack security database.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Over time, WordPress databases accumulate “bloat” that slows down the server. Manage allows you to purge this data without logging into each individual site dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Which items can be removed during a database cleanup?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Post Bloat:<\/strong> Delete trashed posts and old “auto-save” drafts that are no longer necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Comment Spam:<\/strong> Clear out all spam and trashed comments in a single action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Transient Data:<\/strong> Remove expired cached plugin data that the system will automatically regenerate as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Why should you use Manage for performance tracking?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Monitoring site speed is essential for SEO and user experience. Manage automates this process using industry-standard tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What data does the Monitoring section provide?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Google PageSpeed Insights:<\/strong> Access automated scans that track performance, accessibility, and SEO scores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Historical Data:<\/strong> View a timeline of past scans to see how site changes affect your performance over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Activity Log Tracking:<\/strong> Review a chronological list of every action performed through the Manage plugin for auditing purposes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          How does Manage help with WordPress Management<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Manage updates plugins, themes, and core WordPress from within Manage. Vulnerabilities are surfaced using Patchstack integration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
