ManageWP – Control ALL your WordPress Sites from ONE Dashboard!

We operate a number of (self-hosted) WordPress sites,  across a number of niches. Updates and maintenance was starting to become time-consuming and annoying, due to having to work on each site individually.

We also used separate uptime management and optimization tools – again time-wasting.

But then we discovered ManageWp! And suddenly all it takes is one login and a few clicks. here are some of the benefits:

  • Perform your WordPress management tasks all in one place
  • Save time by logging into one Dashboard instead of dozens or even hundreds
  • Promote a WordPress management service to your customers. Log into ManageWP, click a few buttons, and within minutes your monthly website management is complete. Bam! Now send that invoice to your client.
  • Monitor the uptime of your own sites or those for your clients and respond proactively to fix them, or let your client know something is awry with their host. You’ll be a hero!
  • Monitor and analyze the SEO performance of your sites or those for your clients. Easily let them know where they stand and offer your SEO optimization services.
  • Create additional websites easily and quickly with the ManageWP Deploy service.
  • Manage all your WordPress sites from your mobile devices with our ManageWP app for iOS.

There’s even a FREE plan to get you started- which allows you to maintain up to FIVE sites, but without uptime monitoring, backups, etc.

WORDPRESS: How to disable all active plugins, without access to the dashboard..

See my earlier post as to why I needed to do this:

WP-Supercache Ate My Website

My site was down. Dead. No access to the admin functions. The problem was a plugin gone bad (when I tried to disable it).

So, I needed to disable plugins, but couldn’t get into the admin panel.

The excellent support guys at Unlimited Web Hosting came up with this ingenious solution:

Here’s what you do: use CPANEL or PLESK to access the WordPress database of your site directly. It’ll be something like phpmyadmin. Details vary with web hosting firms. If in doubt, ask yours.

Browse the WP_OPTIONS table. Look for a record called “active_plugins”.
Copy the contents of this field into notepad, and save it, just in case.
Now go back to the database, and EMPTY the contents of “active plugins”, and save it. (you can always restore it from the copy you made).

Now access your site. It should come back up, but with no plugins running, so it’ll be weird. Now go into admin as usual, and re-enable all plugins one-by-one, EXCEPT the one that caused the problem.
I’d DELETE that one..

** DISCLAIMER. If you try this solution, and it messes things up, that’s your problem. I take no responsibility for it. It worked for me. **

** If it all goes wrong, simply restore the database from your backup. You DO have a backup, right? **
