UpdraftCentral Premium Cloud for WordPress Site Management

One hosted dashboard for connected websites

UpdraftCentral Premium Cloud is the hosted, maintained edition of UpdraftCentral. It brings routine administration for connected WordPress sites into one dashboard, so you can review site information and updates across sites without opening each WordPress dashboard. A single click opens an individual connected website's dashboard when needed.

Central backup and maintenance controls

Manage UpdraftPlus backups from the dashboard: start a backup, view or edit backup options, review available backups, download or delete a backup, or start a restore. You can also manage UpdraftVault storage centrally.

Review WordPress core, plugin and theme updates across connected sites, then carry them out according to filters. Easy Updates Manager controls update policies. UpdraftCentral can also remotely control WP-Optimize for database cleanup.

Site administration and reporting

• Run Google Analytics for an instant overview of important key performance indicators across sites.
• Manage comments on all connected sites from one place.
• Manage visitors and assign various access levels.
• Create tags to organize websites into categories.
• Manage add-ons on one or more websites, including activating, deactivating and deleting them.
• Install and automatically activate plugins from the WordPress extension directory.
• Manage themes, choose and set a default theme, and install themes from the WordPress theme directory on one or more sites.

How the dashboard works

The interface is a dynamic, single-page JavaScript application that runs in the front end and full-screen mode. It avoids frequent page refreshes and keeps the WordPress dashboard out of the way. Communications are sent directly from the browser where possible. Connections between sites are RSA-encrypted and signed, and each connection has a unique key pair.

The interface is mobile-ready and responsive. UpdraftCentral is extensible and developer friendly, uses WordPress hooks widely, and files its JavaScript with JSDoc. UpdraftCentral can also run by localhost, allowing the dashboard site to remain off the public Internet.

Connect sites to the hosted edition

Access UpdraftCentral Premium Cloud rather than self-hosting the dashboard. Install UpdraftPlus on the WordPress sites you want to control, then connect those sites to the central dashboard. Once connected, review site information, backups and updates and use the administration tools from one location.
