Feature Ideas

We are working on a new version of WaaS portal which will allow end-users to manage their websites, view a list of websites they have purchased, buy more etc.

Allow users to connect their plugin & theme license for 1-click activation on sites they are creating on InstaWP or migrating to a hosting provider.

Problem: I have 5 sites with a random name that were created a week ago. Now I don't remember why each one was created. Solutoin: A description field below the URL. I could explain the purpose of a site like "Testing Woo shipping options" or "Testing theme update".

Simple brochure sites are primarily static, and don't need dynamic functions. Most of them require only a contact form, which can be taken care of by a third-party service. For these types of sites, an option to completely lock both the database and the file system would minimize maintenance and prevent security issues altogether, bringing complete peace of mind for clients and developers. Rocket.net implemented this feature recently, and it works well.

At the moment, the first admin user account seems to be used for Magic login after for staging sites. There should ideally be a dropdown to select which admin user account is to be used.

You will be able to switch on Activity logs for your connected websites (i.e our https://wordpress.org/plugins/instawp-connect/ plugin is installed). This will allow websites to send critical logs like plugin deactivated, admin user created to your email or slack (or other integrations).

Hi, it would be perfect to have an all-in-one Wordpress Agency / Freelance solution. I mean a front end designed as a landing page / showcase website and the possibility for our customers to select/buy services such as SEO, hosting, buy/cancel subscriptions in a member area etc and a backend in order to manage all the agency needs in terms of billing, accounting, wordpress installations, kanban project management etc. I hope you understood me sorry for my english.

The InstaWP Connect plugin now includes the option to hide the menu for specific users. Typically, we want to allow only a few trusted admin users to create staging sites. However, with the current setup, any new admin user automatically gains the ability to create a staging site. The option should have been to show the InstaWP menu to selected users instead. This way, permissions would always be explicit.

I see there was a suggestion for exporting backups to Google Drive, but I want to extend that to S3 storage as well. I think it’d be reassuring to have an copy available offsite and comply with the traditional 3-2-1 backup structure.

Provide an option to take automated daily or weekly backups for InstaWP sites, this will help users recover sites if something goes wrong. Also an option to limit the automated backups to last X times.

Exporting static .zip for sites hosted on InstaWP.

Sometimes when we move a client from InstaWP to our production service we aren't quite ready to nuke everything on InstaWP. I'd like to be able to suspend the site (or redirect it from the dashboard) without deleting it while we wait for it to expire.

Please explore a partnership with Gridpane. They also have funding from Automattic and are much more established than a platform like ServerAvatar. https://gridpane.com/

It would be great if the website owner could disable all installed plugins. If any unexpected errors occur, this setting will assist users in recovering the website.

Allow the selection of the datacentre location for staging sites created from within the WordPress plugin to speed up staging creation.
