All-in-one WordPress maintenance, support and client management platform for agencies - updates, backups, uptime, reports, support and more.
This plugin connects your WordPress installation to the Glow dashboard, where you can manage multiple WordPress websites from a single, centralized location.
Key Features:
- Multi-site management: Oversee all your websites from one dashboard.
- Efficient workflows: Streamline updates, backups, and other maintenance tasks across multiple sites.
- Safe updates with automatic rollback: Each plugin update creates a backup, runs a compatibility check, captures before and after screenshots, verifies the site is still healthy, and automatically restores the previous version if the update broke anything. Removes the fear of update-related downtime.
- Support your clients: Support tickets with chat-like UI and quick navigation
- Backup functionality: Create and manage backups of your sites.
- Uptime monitoring: Monitor the Uptime of your clients' websites.
- Client reports: Quickly create and send high quality reports that actually mean something to your client.
- Time tracking: Allocate an allotted amount of time to each client.
- Enhanced productivity: Focus on growing your business instead of repetitive maintenance.
4.2.9 - 15th June 2026
- New: redesigned admin page leads with one-click signup (Track A) for new users and a single-click "Add this site to my Glow account" (Track B) for existing customers, with a magic-link email fallback if they're not currently signed in. The connection code stays as the manual path.
- New: whitelabel customers now see their company logo and brand throughout the plugin admin (Plugins list, Settings menu, masthead).
- New: GLOW_URL, GLOW_STORE_DATA_URL, and GLOW_X_API_KEY can be overridden via wp-config.php for staging tests.
- Improvement: Plugins admin row link renamed from "Get Code" to "Connect to Glow"; disconnect now clears cached whitelabel data so the page reflects current state.
4.2.8 - 3rd June 2026
- Improvement: plugin update error responses now include the real WordPress upgrader error code and the failing file path (when WordPress provides one). Previously every failure surfaced as a generic "plugin_upgrader_error" with just the message, making diagnosis difficult.
4.2.7 - 31st May 2026
- Fix: safe update no longer fails with "Plugin directory not found" for plugins whose directory name contains a dot (e.g.
plugin-check-1.9). The slug sanitization now preserves dots while still blocking path traversal.
4.2.6 - 24th May 2026
- Fix: site health action no longer fatals on modern WordPress (was referencing
Site_Health class; WordPress core defines it as WP_Site_Health).
4.2.5 - 13th May 2026
- Fix: clear WordPress plugin object cache before reading the plugin list, ensuring data refresh always returns the actual installed version from disk.
4.2.4 - 13th May 2026
- Fix: clear WordPress plugin object cache after restoring files during rollback, so the correct version is reported immediately on the next data sync.
4.2.3 - 13th May 2026
- Fix:
disk_free_space() and disk_total_space() now guarded with function_exists() to prevent a PHP fatal error on hosts that disable these functions.
4.2.2 - 13th May 2026
- New: safe update backup metadata now stored as local JSON sidecar files on the WP server alongside each backup zip. Rollback icon persists across page refreshes without relying on database records.
- New: plugin backup versions included in the DynamoDB data sync so the dashboard can offer a version picker when rolling back.
- Improvement: rollback and cleanup actions now accept slug and version instead of a stored path, making them more reliable.
4.2.1 - 27th April 2026
- Fix: safe update actions (backup, restore, compatibility check) now correctly receive parameters when called via the REST API.
4.2.0 - 23rd April 2026
- New: safe plugin updates with compatibility check, screenshot comparison, and automatic rollback on failure.
4.1.2 - 23rd April 2026
- Fix: server-side commands no longer fire the wp_login action, preventing spurious 2FA codes on sites with two-factor authentication plugins.
4.1.1 - 22nd April 2026
- Fix: connection status check now only runs on admin pages, not on every public page load.
4.1.0 - 16th April 2026
- New: Disconnect button in the Connected card - generates a new connection code without deleting the plugin.
- Fix: plugin deactivation now shows site as Not Connected in the dashboard; reactivation auto-reconnects using the preserved key.
- Fix: connection status page now shows inline confirmation before disconnecting instead of a browser dialog.
- Fix: connection status updates reliably after disconnect with loading indicator during the operation.
- Fix: admin notice after activation now correctly links to the Get Code page.
- Fix: all plugin functions and variables renamed to glow_worker_ prefix to avoid conflicts with other plugins.
4.0.7 - 14th April 2026
- Fix: server info (PHP, MySQL, disk usage) now returns correctly on sites with PHP display_errors enabled.
- Fix: database table names in server overview now display correctly on all MySQL configurations.
- Performance: removed unnecessary CSS and JS assets that were loaded on frontend page.
4.0.6 - 12th April 2026
- Cleanup: automatically delete the legacy Glow plugin folder (slug: glow) after migration to the new plugin.
- Fix: copy code button now reliably copies the connection key on all browsers.
4.0.5 - 12th April 2026
- Compatibility: automatically deactivate the legacy Glow plugin (slug: glow) if both are simultaneously active, preserving the existing connection key.
4.0.4 - 09th April 2026
