Just a mini rant of running 10+ wordpress sites
It sucks when you have to apply new shit, changes, maintenance to all 10+ sites across your network.
How you guys manage your wordpress sites? I use excel |
What kind of changes?
You are utilizing automatic updates, I hope, to make things just a little bit easier. |
10+ should be a super manageable number - I touch each site to make sure things are running fine...yea I use a gdoc
|
google doc?
why not excel? soo efficient..u can color code ,etc.. or is google word/doc better? |
Why not just run all of the sites off of the same Wordpress install?
|
I use this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/worker/
|
yeah, problem is, you discover a small error or something to make your site better, or a change to one of the icons or whatever , you have to do it 10x! i guess its more a task thing.
But yeah, cool wp site management tool besides for completing tasks but for monitoring this is good |
Right now i manage over 60+ wp sites by : https://mainwp.com/

I dropped all frameworks and PHP in general years ago. Personally, I prefer to have my entire "adult business" in one .NET Core solution with one project per website so that I can easily share code and functionalities between them.
It comes with a number of pros: - You don't need to react to someone else's update cycle - You don't need PHP on your server, your websites are single binaries and systemd services - If you write a function for one website and it's a clean service, you can just include it in your other websites, too (in my case feeds, search functions, widgets etc) - When you fix vulnerabilities and update your software, you decide how much backwards compatibility you break. And it won't break on production because it's not PHP. It won't even compile if it's broken so you notice before deploying Also I aim to have a unit test for every edge case. I suggest everyone who has development skills to just drop PHP, drop wordpress, build your software and make it right. There is no need to use an ancient, broken, slow-performing and unsafe scripting language like PHP in 2018. I understand that we didn't have many choices a decade ago but nowadays it's different. Invest the time, create a good product and maintain it. There's a reason why none of the most popular adult websites are wordpress. |

It also depends on what kind of site we are talking, how much traffic, bandwidth drain, etc. There are reasons why some 'ancient' languages like PHP or WP (or HTML for that matter) do not die. :) |

Our search engine has 15 000 000 videos. 96 % of search queries are served below 0.4 seconds and it's hosted on a single VPS with 4 cores and 8 GB ram. Most things are written from scratch aside from some very common software. We are 3 developers maintaining and extending this. We are currently working on automatic typo-correction without breaking the 0.4 second rule. Our biggest bottle-neck right now is the loading time of thumbnails. Imagining we did this in PHP instead, our initial development time would have been lower (it took us 3 months to get the minimum-version online, with PHP maybe just one month?) but the server costs would have been HUGE now (or our website would be slow af and suck). I'm new in the adult business. Maybe my mindset is just wrong. But we are trying to build a great new product. Building something amazing and new, is just not possible on Wordpress, in my opinion :) Feel free to keep this post and laugh at me when I start making Wordpress websites myself in a few years after failing and failing. Who knows. |

Building great products takes time. No Instant Gratification allowed. |
Wordpress is great for startup / validating ideas
|
https://infinitewp.com/ - free and works great... I've been using it for years now...

WP-CLI and make your own bash scripts. Easy as pi.

I ran about forty sites on WordPress. Every site was manually updated by me. Too many new versions of WP and/or plugins and themes have issues, leaving you vulnerable. I’d wait ten days to be sure it was okay, then update everything. It took time as I’d do an extra backup first in case I had to downgrade. Plugins don’t always play nice with older themes or versions.
It took time but was worth it. If you upgrade and something breaks, you try to figure out why, then what caused it, then find the previous version, etc. Consider it weekly maintenance after you do a backup. If too much breaks, restore saves you many headaches. I don’t install plugins or themes via Wordpress. FTP is better IMHO because you’ll have a copy of the original on your machine. If a vulnerability is discovered down the line, waiting for the fix can be hell. It takes a few minutes and then just move that program original to flash drive. Just in case ...... |

Then i have a spreadsheet via google of list to get a clear clear list of todo list, starting a new site checklist, bugs, whether i cleaned up the site of broken videos, broken pages, xml sitemaps have been submitted, plugins done, every plug installed, etc etc... It's very visual color coded tables green = good, red = needs attention, etc etc. |
