WP Maintenance Manager is a desktop app that automates WordPress maintenance, updates, rollbacks, and reporting across all your client sites — without requiring a plugin on each managed site.
Built for agencies and freelancers managing dozens to hundreds of WordPress sites, WP Maintenance Manager connects via SSH + WP-CLI, takes a full DB backup before every update, and updates plugins one at a time. If any update breaks a site, only that single plugin is automatically rolled back to its previous version — leaving the rest of your successful updates in place.
Key features:
- SSH-native connection — no plugin install on client sites
- Per-plugin pinpoint rollback when an update breaks a site
- Automatic DB backups (3 generations, on server + local)
- Visual check with screenshot diff for layout regressions
- White-label PDF reports for clients (Standard plan and above)
- Bulk maintenance across all sites with one click
- Mac & Windows desktop app — your data stays on your machine
Compatible with major hosting providers including Xserver, Sakura Internet, Heteml, ConoHa WING, SiteGround, Cloudways, and Kinsta. Falls back to browser automation (Playwright) when SSH is unavailable.
Free for 1 site. Paid plans start at $4/month (3 sites) and scale to $46/month for 200 sites. Annual plans 20% off.
