Siteward Child is the companion plugin for Siteward, a free, self-hosted dashboard for managing many WordPress sites from one place. Install this plugin on any WordPress site you want to manage centrally, then connect it to your dashboard with a one-time secure handshake.
Once connected, it exposes a single signed REST endpoint that your dashboard uses to read update status, UpdraftPlus backup history and site health, apply updates, and manage plugins. The dashboard always initiates the traffic. This plugin never calls out on its own.
- Signed, replay-protected REST endpoint (verified against your dashboard’s public key).
- Reports core, plugin and theme updates.
- Reports UpdraftPlus backup history and status.
- Reports basic site health (WP-Cron, load).
- Applies updates and, for fleet plugin management, activates, deactivates or uninstalls plugins, but only when instructed by your signed, paired dashboard.
This plugin does nothing on its own until paired with a Siteward dashboard.
Don’t have the dashboard yet? Install the free Siteward plugin on one central site, or read the setup guide at omniswp.com.
