What’s inside
Installations
The site list and the toolbar above it: Install, Scan, Updates, Security, Detach, Remove. Bulk actions across every WordPress site on the account.
Site management
The expanded view of a single site. Dashboard with File Manager, Clone, Back Up, Logs, WP-CLI, Updates, Security, Performance, Maintenance mode, and more.
Plugins
Install, update, activate, and remove plugins across one or many sites at once.
Themes
Same idea for themes. Roll out a theme to multiple sites, or manage themes per site.
What WP Toolkit does that the WP admin doesn’t
| Capability | WP admin | WP Toolkit |
|---|---|---|
| Install a new site | Manual | One click. Auto-fills DB credentials, admin user, locale. |
| Clone to a staging subdomain | Plugin | Built in. Two clicks, full file + DB copy. |
| Run a security scan | Plugin | Built in. Reports issues with a numeric score. |
| Push WordPress + plugins update | Per site | Multi-select, bulk update across the whole account. |
| Smart Update (test before apply) | No | Yes. Clones the site, runs the update on the clone, runs checks, and surfaces a report. You review and decide whether to push to live. |
| Maintenance mode | Plugin | Built-in toggle. Custom page, datestamped. |
| Vulnerability database | Plugin | Live vuln feed for every install. (Auto-mitigation is paid.) |
Pricing for the parts that aren’t included
Everything in WP Toolkit is included with your hosting plan except Vulnerability Protection, the auto-patching feature that applies hotfixes for known plugin and theme CVEs without waiting for the upstream vendor.Vulnerability Protection is a paid opt-in. The vulnerability scanner is free and shows you which CVEs apply to your sites. Auto-applying virtual patches before the official fix lands is the part that’s billed separately. Open a ticket from the Members Area to enable it on your account.
