Ploi Introduces ‘The WordPress Update’

Over the last two months, the Ploi team has transformed its user-friendly server management tool into a comprehensive home for your WordPress sites.

New Features

What began as basic WP-CLI functionality has evolved into a comprehensive WordPress control panel. You can now manage plugins and themes in bulk, deploy multiple Git repositories per site, clone entire WordPress installations (including databases) to other servers, and perform search-and-replace operations directly from the dashboard.

Everything is also exposed through the API, so you can integrate it into your own automation processes. Let’s take a look at the feature highlights:

• Multi-repository management for WordPress sites — install, deploy, and manage multiple Git repositories per site
• Edit modal, delete confirmation, full path display, and branch-aware deploy scripts for repositories
• WordPress plugin and theme install and delete, with confirm modals
• Bulk actions for WordPress plugins (activate, deactivate, update, delete) and themes (update, delete)
• WordPress search & replace tool with dry-run support
• WordPress site cloning with database duplication and wp search-replace for the new domain
• WordPress statistics overview (version, posts, pages, comments, users, plugins, theme, updates) on the site general page
• WP_DEBUG toggle with built-in debug log viewer
• Queued WordPress API actions with ?ondemand=true for synchronous responses
• WordPress API endpoints for plugins, themes, search-replace, and clone
• Native rclone backup driver type
• FTP backup file tracking and rotation for database and site backups
• Automatic DPA generator

If you already use Ploi to manage WordPress sites, the new WordPress and Repositories tabs, as well as the cloning flow, are now available in your panel — no migration required.
