InifiteWP - Sort of a review? - zhuanyi - 08-29-2013

I came across this InfiniteWP a few days ago on LET:

http://infinitewp.com/

Have to say it is very good in terms of maintaining multiple Wordpress installations. Setup is very easy (all you need to do is to unzip the software, upload to your server and set up a MySQL DB), the installer is web-based and there is an option to enable HTTPS login to make things secure (which is a great issue with WP itself since it tend to mess up a lot of stuff if you are running HTTPS on the admin backend on Wordpress).

Adding WP sites is an easy task too, all you need to do is to login to the backend of the sites that you want to keep up-to-date with, add the client plugin (you can search by the term "iwp") and activate it, all the info you will need to update your iWP monitor with the WP sites is listed right on the top of the page.

At the very minimum, this tool does a good job in helping me to keep over 20 Wordpress blogs (some are mine, others are ones that my friends asked me to maintain) up-to-date with one click (yes, you can update everything together at once or pick a particular update you want to install), if you are OK to schedule a cron job, iWP will check for updates every 20 minutes and will send you an email a day to tell you all your wordpress blogs are being taken care of Smile

If you are willing to pay, they also have add-ons to backup your blogs and so on:

Overall, I think iWP is very easy to use and very powerful for people who have lots of blogs but very little time.

Looks nice, but sort of had enough of Wordpress and friends lately. The updater is definitely a plus.
