WP Site Management Tools
·OnlineOnlineA common question that comes up repeatedly is "what is the best tool to manage websites for ME". Cause different people have different needs.
We've invited the 3 main players in the "done for you" WP management and we'll interview them about their features so that you can compare them in a more "apples to apples" way and make your own decision about what's best for you.
The tools:
- ManageWP, WP Remote, and WP Umbrella are confirmed.The topics:
- Backups & restoration
- Manual & automated updates
- Plugin/theme management across sites
- User management (both on the tool & on WP sites)
- Security/vulnerability
- Reports
- Broken links/Performance/Uptime/Site health monitoring
- AI
- GDPR & privacy compliance
- Any other special featuresThe format:
10 topics, each tool gets 2 min to talk about what they do for the topic. So people can listen to topics that matter most to them and get the three tools one after the other.
I'll introduce the topic, ie: Backups & restoration with a 15-30 second intro then each product owner gets 2 minutes to talk about their product and their product ONLY.
You'll be muted on entry, we'll be using the chat to queue people up/ask follow-on questions.
The meetup is scheduled for 11am ET until 12:30pm ET.
Meetup is scheduled to be recorded. Recordings are posted about 2 weeks after the meetup and are provided courtesy of our sponsor, Obee Digital Consulting.
