Features
RootsWP is built for the everyday work of maintaining a portfolio of WordPress sites. Here is what to expect from each part of it.
RootsWP reads which core, plugin and theme updates are pending for every connected site, including the current and the new version. Pick what to update and run it per site or across several sites at once.
Every site is polled at a fixed interval through a lightweight health endpoint. We record the response time and track when a site was unreachable.
Every check looks at a fixed list of items that most often go wrong in practice. Each line has a status and a short explanation of what to do about it.
Trigger a full backup or a database-only dump and follow whether each attempt succeeded. Every backup shows its date, type, size and status.
Put together a monthly report per client with the updates run, backups made, uptime and security status. On the Agency plan you can add your own logo and colour.
Working with colleagues, you decide who can do what. Owners manage billing and keys, admins connect sites, and members carry out the maintenance work.
Everything RootsWP or a team member does lands in a chronological log, with the user's name and the time. That makes it easy to see afterwards who did what.
The connection runs through our own plugin with a locked-down REST namespace. RootsWP reaches the site with signed requests, so you never share login details.
The demo environment contains sample sites with updates, backups and alerts, so you can follow the workflow before connecting a site of your own.
