7 popular Wordpress management tools
Managing multiple Worpress sites can be quite a daunting task. Right from the start, you may encounter major hurdles that make building hundreds of websites very time consuming. Not to mention the lengthy management of each site separately. What if you could manage all your Worpress sites from one dashboard?
Having a large database of WP-based sites requires effective management. Submitting new content, updating, installing new plugins - all this needs to be done for each site separately. Therefore, it is necessary to log in to each panel, then to another and repeat the same steps over and over again. Fortunately and for the convenience of people who work with hundreds of Worpress-powered websites, special plugins / software have been created to help you manage websites from one place... This solution significantly improves work and makes it more efficient.
Here are 7 popular programs that allow you to efficiently and conveniently manage hundreds of internal pages from one dashboard.
1. MainWP
MainWP is a plugin that allows you to easily manage multiple Wordpress sites.
The plugin is free to download, but if you want to use more features, you will have to pay extra for each of the selected extensions ($ 19.99), such as managing comments, creating a backup schedule, cloning WP pages. In the basic version, MainWP allows, for example, to perform updates, backups and SEO analysis. You can also purchase technical support for one year ($ 49.99).

3. WPSEO
WPSEO is a powerful tool that allows you to manage multiple worpress from one panel... Unlike most of the software available, starting with the Bronze package, it allows for complete diversification of backend sites as it offers different IP addresses. It is a combination of WP website management platform and hosting.
Access to WPSEO offers several pricing options that can be tailored to individual needs. In the cheapest version, the tool costs 200 rubles, offering the ability to connect an unlimited number of WP pages, but without IP, address classes and separate DNS. More expensive packages mean full IP diversification and much more options, incl. bulk management of all WordPress (e.g. one-click updates for all pages), access to extensive statistics, access to unique and attractive templates, create project schedules, create user accounts and assign them to specific projects, detect incorrect links.
4. WP Remote
WP Remote is a plugin designed to improve the management of Wordpress sites without any quantitative restrictions.
The plugin can be downloaded for free. Free access makes it easy to update plugins and themes with just one click. If you want to expand the functionality of WP Remote, you need to buy premium access - prices depend on the number of pages connected to the plugin ($ 10-$ 299 no discounts). In the advanced version, all updates are made automatically, and backups are also performed automatically.
5. CMS Commander
CMS Commander is a plugin that simplifies and improves the management of multiple Wordpress sites.
The plugin is available in a free version, but in this version the functionality is very limited. Allows you to do only automatic backup and cloning of sites. Additional options require activation of a premium account - access to additional functions is possible from $ 4.99 per month, and the cost depends on the number of connected sites. CMS Commander in the premium version allows: user account management, post editing, database optimization, category management, comment management.
6. iControl WP
iControl WP is another service that allows you to manage hundreds of Wordpress sites.
It offers a wide range of options when it comes to website editing, incl. performing bulk operations, automatic backups, cloning sites, updating plugins, managing comments.
However, access to iControlWP is chargeable. Prices start at $ 0.95.
7. ManageWP
ManageWP is another tool built to improve the management of even hundreds of internal pages.
In the free version, it allows you to connect up to 5 sites. They are accessed from one panel. Within the framework of free functions, the user has the opportunity: one-click updates, installation and management of plugins and themes, bulk spam removal, viewing the history of changes and receiving notifications about available updates.
Paid packages provide many more options. The main features have been expanded: user management, Google Analytics widgets, SEO analysis, backup and restore, site cloning, report generation.
ManageWP's pricing is pretty flexible. The cost of using the tool depends primarily on the number of sites managed. The more, the lower the unit cost per page. Assuming we want to add 500 pages and access the business version, the site unit price is only $ 0.84 per month.
Comparing the options described above, foreign solutions offer more or less similar functionality.
Among them, the Polish WPSEO, which - as the only available tool - makes it possible to diversify IP and create background sites based on complete diversification of domains. When calculating the unit cost for a single site, the prices are actually similar (even compared to the richest package, ManageWP), and WPSEO offers more options.
The answer to the question, which tool is the best, is unclear. You must consider individual expectations and needs. It is worth testing every solution available to find the option that works best for you.
