Release Notes

Version history and changelog for WP Maintenance Manager.

v1.5.8
2026-05-03
Latest

Organize sites with categories and tags + per-site log history

Sort registered sites by client or project, filter with cross-cutting tags, and jump straight from each row to its own maintenance log history. Stay organized as your fleet grows.

New
  • Assign a Category (one per site, with a custom color) and Tags (multiple per site) to each registered site
  • New "Categories & Tags" panel under βš™ Settings β€” pick colors with a color picker, edit and delete in bulk
  • New filter dropdowns above the site list for Category and Tags, usable in combination with the text search
  • Tag filter supports both "any of the selected tags" (OR) and "all of the selected tags" (AND) modes
  • When deleting a category, choose to either reset its sites to "Unassigned" or move them to another category in bulk (the impact count is shown up front)
  • Category and tag definitions are included in the settings backup, so they transfer to other machines automatically
  • Each row in the registered-site list now has a "πŸ•’ Logs β€Ί" link that opens the log dialog scoped to just that site
  • Sites now carry a stable internal identifier so log history follows them across renames (existing sites are migrated automatically on first launch β€” no action needed)
  • Flexible log deletion: "Delete filtered results" when status/period filters are active, "Delete this site's logs" from the per-site view, or "πŸ—‘οΈ Delete Selected" for individual rows via checkboxes. A confirmation dialog always shows the exact entry count to prevent accidental "delete all" actions

Pinpoint Rollback Hardening and Report Improvements

Strengthened the safety net during maintenance and improved the accuracy and clarity of maintenance reports.

New Feature
  • Warning when attempting to register the same WordPress site twice
Fixed
  • Hardened pinpoint rollback to work reliably even when an update causes a fatal error (WP-CLI safe mode applied to all commands)
  • Pinpoint rollback now also fires when an update causes the site to drop from healthy to a 4xx state (404 / 403 / 401)
  • Maintenance reports now correctly reflect when pinpoint rollback occurred
  • Maintenance report verification summary now shows a warning when rollback could not be completed
  • Improved awkward "HTTP 0" wording in reports to a more readable description
  • Fixed an issue where the WordPress core version displayed in the report was outdated after an update
  • Fixed an issue where database backups were not being saved to your PC during maintenance
  • Updated the description for "Aggressive Auto-Fix Mode" in the Add Site screen to match current behavior
v1.5.6
2026-04-21

Report Improvements and Operational Stability

Made maintenance reports clearer and strengthened internal stability so the app stays reliable for long-term, large-scale operations. Both the Windows and macOS app icons have also been refreshed.

New Feature
  • Updated the Japanese product name to "WP γƒ‘γƒ³γƒ†γƒŠγƒ³γ‚ΉγƒžγƒγƒΌγ‚Έγƒ£γƒΌ" to better align with the English name "WP Maintenance Manager"
Improved
  • Refreshed both the Windows and macOS app icons. Unified them around a black squircle (Apple-style rounded shape, superellipse n=5) with the WP + wrench logo scaled up and centered, so the app no longer looks visually smaller than neighboring icons in the taskbar, Start menu, Dock, or Finder
  • Enriched the inspection summary in reports for sites without SSH. Previously only a single line ("HTTP Status 200 OK") was shown; now six inspection items are displayed as evidence: "WordPress Core", "Admin Login", "Plugins", "Themes", "Translations", and "HTTP Status". Translation updates are also applied automatically via the browser
  • Improved the visual-diff report after maintenance. Previously, a 10% and an 80% diff rate were both reported with the same "minor visual change β€” no issues" wording. Now the message changes across four tiers (minor / moderate / large / significant) based on diff rate, with stronger recommendations for visual verification on larger diffs
  • HTTP status codes now display alongside Japanese labels. Numeric-only notations such as "HTTP 200" or "HTTP 301" scattered across reports and the admin UI are now shown with labels like "200 OK (ζ­£εΈΈ)", "301 Moved Permanently (γƒͺγƒ€γ‚€γƒ¬γ‚―γƒˆ)", and "500 Internal Server Error (ァーバーエラー)", so non-technical users can understand them at a glance
  • Strengthened stability for large-scale operations. Internal write operations have been hardened so rare timing issues are less likely to occur even with many users (β‘ backup downloads are now received under a temporary name and atomically promoted to the final name, preserving the previous backup when the connection drops; β‘‘stale temporary files are cleaned up automatically at app startup; β‘’concurrent writes to configuration files are safely serialized; β‘£when the maintenance log grows large, older months are automatically archived so the history tab stays responsive)
Fixed
  • Fixed an issue where a single plugin update failure could halt the entire run. Timeouts or connection errors on one plugin no longer stop updates of the remaining plugins, themes, and translations
  • Prevented cascading misjudgments after a rollback. Fixed an issue where, after reverting a broken plugin, the next unrelated plugin could be incorrectly identified as the "culprit" and rolled back
  • Reduced unnecessary rollbacks caused by transient network errors. Suppressed misjudgments triggered by momentary network fluctuations
  • Fixed an issue where incomplete backup files could remain on the server when the network dropped during maintenance. Incomplete files are now cleaned up automatically on disconnect
  • Fixed an issue where the WordPress core version was shown incorrectly in reports for sites without SSH. Addresses a bug where a plugin version like "v1.7.11" was sometimes displayed in the WordPress core version field on certain sites
v1.5.5
2026-04-09

  • Added a "Fetch from Server" button to the "Excluded Plugins" field in the site editor. You can now select plugins to exclude directly from a list retrieved from the server
  • Reworked SSH profile management so profiles can be shared across multiple sites. Updating a profile now automatically reflects across all associated sites
Fixed
  • Fixed an issue where selecting an SSH profile when adding a site was sometimes not applied correctly

Fixed
  • [Windows] Fixed an issue where antivirus software falsely flagged maintenance as malicious, causing it to be force-stopped mid-run and the app to crash
  • [Windows] Fixed an issue where a Command Prompt window remained open on launch
  • [Mac] Fixed an issue where the app could not be restarted after closing the browser tab
  • [Windows / Mac] Fixed an issue where restoring a settings backup on a different PC caused email notifications and maintenance to stop working
v1.5.3
2026-04-05

UX Improvements Β· Bug Fixes

Backup restore now uses a two-step confirmation flow to prevent accidental restores. An app exit button has been added, and a double-launch bug on browser restart has been fixed.

New
  • Added an app exit button for a clean, safe shutdown
Improved
  • Backup restore is now a two-step flow (select β†’ confirm β†’ execute), reducing the risk of accidental restores
