Ever wished you could install a plugin across multiple websites in one go? Your wish is now a reality! 

With our new bulk upload feature, you can now deploy a plugin on numerous websites directly from WP Umbrella, making your workflow more efficient.

The plugin can be uploaded from WordPress.org, a Zip file or an URL.

To ensure your visitors get the best experience, every plugin upload is followed by an automatic cache clearance, guaranteeing they always view the most recent version. 

Alongside the fantastic bulk upload capability, which allows for introducing updates or hotfixes effortlessly, we’ve enhanced our plugin management section. It now comes with an intuitive, user-friendly interface. Moreover, whenever you update, we've got you covered with insights on the required PHP and WordPress versions.

Your feedback has been instrumental in bringing this feature to life, and we can't thank you enough! Feel free to let us know how you feel about this new feature! 🙂 

Looking forward to offering even more powerful tools tailored to your needs!

Warmest regards,

The WP Umbrella Team ☂️

🎉 We've just rolled out a powerful new feature at WP Umbrella – Timezone Management! 

The complexities of time calculations are now a thing of the past. You can manage your own timezone directly from your profile.

No more late-night or early-morning scheduling to align with different time zones. Whether you're managing backups or sending reports, our system will adjust according to your set timezone, taking all the guesswork out of the equation. 

To activate this feature, simply head over to your WP Umbrella profile and update your timezone. 

PS: Important note for legacy users: To apply this new timezone to your existing templates, you'll need to navigate to the template > Scheduling and re-save your settings. Doing so will align your newly defined timezone with your pre-existing templates. 

Hey there!

Our team has been working tirelessly behind the scenes and we're thrilled to announce some major improvements..!

Custom Labels are here! 🏷️ 

Organizing your sites just got a whole lot easier. You can now create and assign custom labels to your WordPress websites, helping you keep track of and organize your projects more effectively.

In addition to custom labels, we've rolled out Enhanced Filters 🔍 to help you navigate your websites effortlessly. With a wide range of new filtering options at your fingertips, you'll be able to find the exact site you're looking for in no time.

Last but definitely not least, we've turbocharged our Dashboard Load Times 🚀 with the implementation of Meilisearch. This means our dashboard is now an astonishing 60 times faster, so you can spend less time waiting and more time working on your projects.

This performance boost only applies to the main dashboard but it will soon be cascaded everywhere!

We hope you enjoy these new features as much as we've enjoyed developing them for you! As always, your feedback is invaluable to us. If you have any questions, suggestions, or simply want to share your thoughts, don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly support team.

Happy organizing, and thank you for choosing WP Umbrella!

Cheers,

Aurelio

Hello, amazing users! 

We're thrilled to announce that WP Umbrella and Cloudways are now fully compatible! 🎉

This integration brings you the best of both worlds, providing a seamless experience for managing your WordPress websites hosted on Cloudways from WP Umbrella.

We have also negotiated a small gift for WP Umbrella's users: 20% Off for 3 Months with the promo code WPUMBRELLA20.

We're excited to announce a new feature that will enhance your reporting experience on WP Umbrella! Starting today, you'll be able to add your client information and use variables based on that information in your reports.

With this feature, you can now tailor your reports to each individual client and make them even more meaningful by adding dynamic variables based on your client information, such as client name, company, or website. This will help you provide more personalized and relevant reports to your clients, and ultimately help you build stronger relationships with them.

To get started, simply navigate to your client list in WP Umbrella and add your clients' information. 

Then, in your report builder, you'll see a new set of variables that you can use based on your client information. These variables will be automatically populated with the relevant information for each client, making it easy to create customized reports.

We're confident that this new feature will help you provide even more value to your clients and improve your reporting process. We're always looking for ways to improve WP Umbrella, so if you have any feedback or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

You can see our full documentation on this feature here and on how to use variables there.

Thank you for using WP Umbrella!

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!

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
