I need to manage around 15 different WordPress websites that are all installed separately on different domains. Right now I have to log into each site individually to update plugins, moderate comments, and handle other admin tasks. This takes forever and is really frustrating.
I’m wondering if there’s some kind of centralized management tool that would let me control all these separate WordPress installations from one place. Something that would work like WordPress Multisite but for sites that aren’t connected to each other.
Does anyone know what this type of solution is called? I’m not sure what keywords to use when searching for this kind of management system.
for sure! MainWP is perfect - install their plugin and you can control all your sites from one dashboard. UpdraftCentral also works but it’s more pricy. Both options are way simpler than multisite and make updates a breeze.
Managing 15 WordPress sites manually is a nightmare. I’ve been there with multiple client sites - it ate up way too much time.
You want WordPress multi-site management tools. ManageWP, MainWP, and WP Remote all handle this.
Here’s the problem - these solutions are limited and expensive for 15+ sites. You’re stuck with their interfaces and workflows.
I built something better using automation. Instead of another service, I created workflows that handle repetitive tasks across all my sites: plugin updates, comment moderation, backup checks, content publishing.
You can customize exactly what gets automated and how. Different rules for different sites, notifications when something needs attention, integration with tools you already use.
I use Latenode because it connects directly to WordPress APIs and handles complex workflows without breaking. Way more powerful than typical management dashboards.
I manage about 20 WordPress sites for my agency and this drove me nuts too. You need centralized WordPress management software. I’ve tested several over the years - currently using ManageWP which runs everything from one dashboard. These platforms drop a lightweight plugin on each site that talks back to the main interface. Besides bulk updates and backups, you get uptime monitoring, security scans, and can push content changes across multiple sites. Huge time saver - what took hours of logging in and out now takes maybe 15 minutes. Most charge per site, so plan your budget, but the productivity boost usually pays for itself fast when you’re juggling this many sites.
I’ve been running 12 WordPress sites for three years now. You want a “WordPress management platform” or “multi-site management tool.” I started with InfiniteWP - it’s self-hosted so you keep control of your data. Free version handles updates and backups for unlimited sites. But I switched to WP Toolkit through my hosting provider since it fit better with my workflow. Just know these tools need a worker plugin on each site, which means more stuff to maintain. Also, test updates on staging first - learned this the hard way when a plugin conflict killed three sites at once. Still totally worth it though. What took me half a day now takes 30 minutes.
