Add the server here first, then run the setup block on
that machine so the deploy key and WP-CLI are in place.
Verify Plugin
Check whether a plugin is actually installed on your websites — live from each server.
1 · Pick the plugin
The check looks for this plugin's folder on each site

How To
A plain-language guide to running Plugin Installr. No technical background needed.
What this tool does. Plugin Installr lets you add a WordPress
plugin to many websites at once, check that it worked, and turn plugins on or off — all from
this screen, without logging into each website separately. Think of it as one control room for
all of the company's sites. If you can pick items from a list and click a button, you can run it.
The everyday tasks
Put a plugin on your websites
Go to Sessions →
+ New Session. Give it a name you will recognise later
(e.g. “Contact form – March”), upload the plugin file (a
.zip your developer gives you), and tick the websites it
should go on. Use the search box to find sites quickly. Then press
Install and watch the bar fill as each site completes.
You can safely install again any time — it simply replaces what is there.
If you close or refresh the page mid-way, the
install keeps running by itself. When you come back, it shows you the progress again.
Check that a plugin is really there
Go to Verify Plugin. Choose the plugin, tick the websites,
and press Check selected. For each site you will see whether
it is installed, which version, whether it is switched on, and whether it is up to date. If a
site is on an older version, it shows a red Needs update tag
— click that tag to install the correct version on that one site.
Turn a plugin off, or remove it
Go to Manage Plugins. Pick one
website to see everything on it, or pick several to see only
the plugins they all share — handy for switching one plugin off across many sites at once.
Deactivate turns a plugin off but keeps it;
Delete removes it. Both ask you to confirm first.
Delete cannot be undone on the website, but your
uploaded copy is always kept, so nothing is ever truly lost — you can reinstall it later.
Adding a new website to the list
If the website’s server is already set up, this is the easy path: go to
Servers, find the server, and press
Scan for sites. The tool finds every website on that server by
itself, skips the ones already added, and lets you tick the new ones and add them together.
Then open Websites and press
Check unreached — a green tag means the site is ready.
You will rarely need + Add Website (the manual option). It asks for technical details like folder paths; leave it for your developer unless a site is in an unusual place.

When a brand-new server is involved
A server is the computer that hosts a group of websites. A new one needs a
one-time setup that only a developer or systems person does,
using a short script — this is the only part that ever needs technical help, and only once
per server. After that, everything about adding and managing that server’s websites is
point-and-click for you. If you are ever asked to “prepare a server,” that is a task
to hand to whoever manages the company’s hosting.
Backups and storage
Every plugin you upload is automatically copied to the company’s Google Drive as a safety
backup — you do not have to do anything. The Drive tag at
the top of the screen is green when this is working. The
Google Space page shows how much storage those backups use, so
someone can keep an eye on it over time.
Giving someone else access
If you are an administrator, go to Users →
+ Add User to create a login for a colleague. You set their
name, email, and a password, and hand those to them — there is no email invitation. You can
also switch someone’s access off at any time using the toggle, without deleting their
account.
A few words you will see
Plugin — an add-on that gives a WordPress website extra features.
Website / Site — one of the company’s WordPress sites this tool can manage.
Server — the computer that hosts a group of websites.
Session — a saved pairing of one plugin with the websites it belongs on, so you can reuse it.
Repository — your library of uploaded plugin files.
Deactivate — switch a plugin off without removing it. Activate switches it back on.
Version — which release of a plugin is running. Higher numbers are newer.
Up to date — the site has the same version as the copy you selected. Needs update means it is older.
