We're excited to announce a new feature: WP Umbrella is now compatible with .htaccess protected websites! 

This feature allows users to easily manage and update sites that are protected by a .htaccess file. This means that you will be able to make changes to these types of sites without having to manually update the .htaccess file each time and thus manage your pre-productions & staggings easily.

You can define the user and password of your .htaccess protected website at the bottom of the settings tab of every project.

If you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thanks for being part of the WP Umbrella family!

Attention all agencies and freelancers! 

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest feature - a system of templates for creating professional maintenance reports. 

This new feature is designed to make your work easier and more efficient. Instead of manually creating each maintenance report, you can now use the template to quickly generate them with just a few clicks. This will save you precious time that can be better spent on other tasks and projects. With this new feature, you can easily showcase the value of your work to your clients and explain them why WordPress matters.

Our templates are designed to be user-friendly, and easy to use. Our templates are flexible and can be fully customized to suit your specific needs. From documenting regular maintenance tasks to highlighting key accomplishments, you can now do it all with a few clicks.

Say goodbye to tedious report-writing and hello to more time spent on delivering exceptional services. Try it out now and experience the convenience for yourself! 

We're confident that you'll love it and it will help you to impress your clients and boost your productivity.

Ps: As the end of February approaches, it is important to note that the previous method of reporting will be deactivated. We kindly request that you begin the transition to our updated template system for your reports. The old report will be deactivated by the end of February.

Ps 2: Additionally, please be informed that the necessary variables, including client names, for this new system will be made available within the next couple of weeks. Let us work together to ensure a smooth and efficient transition.

Hey everyone!

We have some great news to share - we have updated the maintenance report feature to help you proving the value of your work to your clients.

More Customization In The Report

You can now fully customize headings, subheadings, time format, and date format.

More Customization In The Emails & Scheduling

In addition, you can now send the report to multiple recipient (max 3) and define a sending name. Speaking of the emails, we have added a WYSIWYG editor so your automatic messages to your clients can now look more attractive.

We have also decided to introduce the possibility to automatically send the report on a weekly basis.

We have Fully Revamped The Integration of Google Analytics Data

Although nobody ever complained about it, we weren't entirely satisfied of the way Google Analytics Data was displayed in the report. So we decided to do better. We added more data and changed the look of this section.

We also did our best to make sure that the data coming from Google Analytics is understandable for your clients.

Template System Next In Lane

We are now working on a proper system of template that will allow you to create templates that you can assign on all your websites in a few clicks. It will also be possible to configure all your missing integrations from a single place.

We are aware that the current process is time-consuming. Hopefully, this new system of template should be available in 4 weeks.

As always, if you have any questions or feedback, please let us know!

We have some great news to share with you today - WP Umbrella is now compatible with WP Engine! We know that some of you have been having connection issues, and we're happy to report that those are now a thing of the past. 

You can now use WP Umbrella flawlessly with WP Engine, and enjoy all the benefits that come with it. 

None of this would be possible without your help and the help of the WP Engine team. We are working on something similar with Kinsta. 

Shall you experience any recurrent backup/update issues, please feel free to reach out at support@wp-umbrella.com. We recently realized that theses issues are mostly coming from hosting firewall rules, and with your help, we will make WP Umbrella compatible with your hosting provider.

We're always working hard to make sure our product is the best it can be, and we're grateful for your feedback and bug reports. Keep it coming! Thank you, 

The WP Umbrella Team

Hey there, WP Umbrella users! 

We've just rolled out a new feature that we think you're going to love - the ability to restore your website in 1-click. 

That's right, you can now restore your website to its original state with just a single click.

We know that accidents happen and sometimes things can go wrong. Now, if something does happen to one of your websites, you can easily and quickly restore it! 🙃

No more fiddling around with complex restore procedures! 

To enjoy this feature you need to update WP Umbrella to its last version (2.3.0) and have a backup made with version 2.3.0.

We hope you find this new feature helpful. As always, if you have any questions or feedback, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Hello everyone! 

We have been working hard on the 1-click restoration for the last 4 weeks and everything is almost ready. We will open the beta testing of this feature soon.

To prepare for the 1-click restoration we have had to improve (again) the backup process. In a nutshell, we totally tweaked the way we backup databases and we are now able to manage the backup of crazy heavy databases, regardless of the server configuration. We also fix a couple of other things to make the process more efficient for everybody.

This update will not give you access to any new features, but it's important that you update WP Umbrella to 2.2.1 so we can ensure a smooth transition toward the 1-click restoration for everybody.

You can update WP Umbrella on all your websites in just one click from the Bulk Actions tab.

Thank you and have a well-deserved summer break!

Hey Everyone,

We've made an update to WP Umbrella that we think you're going to like, because this feature was requested by so many of you. 

Now, when you click on the "WP Admin" button, you'll be able to select which user you want to access the admin panel as. This is a really quick and easy way to get to the admin panel, without having to go through the process of logging in and out as different users.

To select a user click on Project name >> Settings and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

We hope you find this update helpful and that it makes managing your WordPress site a little bit easier. 

As always, if you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out to us. We're always happy to help.

Hey there!

We've just released a new feature for WP Umbrella that makes it super easy to bulk update themes in WordPress.

Previously, if you wanted to update multiple themes at once, you had to do it manually one by one. But with our new bulk update feature, you can now update all your themes, on all your websites in just one click!

This is a huge time saver! So if you're looking to save a ton of time when updating your WordPress themes, be sure to check out our new bulk update feature. 

We have also improved the UX on all bulk actions with a new selector. 

How do you feel about this guys?!

Hey everyone! 

Thanks to your feedback, we've recently made a small improvement to WP Umbrella's application that we think you'll find really helpful – now you can access plugins' changelog without leaving our application! 

You only need to click on view changelog under the plugin name to open it in a modal.

This means that you can easily stay up-to-date on the latest changes for all of your wordpress plugins, and save time in the process. 

At the moment, this feature is only available for plugins listed in WordPress official plugins directory. 

As always, thanks for using WP Umbrella and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or feedback.

Hey there,

You probably didn't know this, but WP Umbrella automatically re-syncs your data every 2 hours. This is why a plugin update might sometimes look available in the dashboard even though you have already updated the plugin.

Since we cannot increase the re-sync frequency because we would be blocked by most hosting providers, we've added a new "Re-Sync Data" button to WP Umbrella bulk actions! 

This button will allow you to quickly and easily re-sync your data to ensure that it is accurate and up to date.

We have also pushed some fixes to improve our new backup process & safe update technology. So please, update WP Umbrella to its last version (2.1.2).

We hope that this new button will be helpful to you and make managing your WordPress site even easier! 

As always, if you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out to us.
