WordPress Management

LiteSoup automatically detects WordPress installations and tracks version, plugin, and theme updates.

Auto-Detection

When you click Scan WP on a server detail page, the dashboard connects via SSH and inspects every WordPress installation on the server. For each site, it detects:

  • WordPress core version — from wp-includes/version.php
  • Plugin updates needed — count of plugins with available updates
  • Theme updates needed — count of themes with available updates

WordPress Status Tab

Each site's WordPress tab displays:

  • Version — the detected WordPress version number
  • Updates pending — plugin and theme update counts (e.g. "3 plugins, 1 theme")
  • Last scanned — timestamp of the most recent scan

If WordPress is not detected, the tab shows "WordPress not detected yet. Use Scan WP on the server page."

Applications Page

The sidebar menu Applications provides a centralized view of all sites across all servers. Each row includes:

  • Domain — clickable link to the site detail page
  • Owner — the system user that owns the site files
  • Server — which server the site is on
  • PHP — PHP-FPM version
  • Tier — pool tier (small/medium/large)
  • TLS — TLS mode
  • WP — WordPress version with WP icon
  • Updates — plugin count with plugin icon, theme count with theme icon
  • Synced — last sync timestamp

Update Notifications

The updates column uses color-coded text:

  • Red — plugin updates available
  • Gray — theme updates available
