Last updated August 3, 2026

Fleet views

Plugins and Themes pages help compare installed versions, available updates, active status, and maintenance state across workspace instances.

Instance views

  • Plugins can be activated, deactivated, updated, deleted, searched, and uploaded when permissions allow.
  • Themes can be activated, updated, deleted, searched, and inspected.
  • Compatibility badges identify updates that need review.

Safe update flow

  • Update one testing environment first.
  • Run Site Testing and check WP Admin.
  • Review logs, screenshots, and visual differences.
  • Apply the same change elsewhere only after the test instance is stable.
