Question 1

Is Rootscope Remote Site Manager really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Rootscope Remote Site Manager is completely free for unlimited WordPress sites. We believe every WordPress developer and agency deserves powerful management tools without the high costs. Premium features may be added in the future, but the core functionality will always remain free.

Question 2

How does the one-click login work?

Accepted Answer

Our secure token-based system generates a temporary, single-use login link that expires in 5 minutes. When you click "Login" on any connected site, we create a secure token that the WordPress plugin validates, then automatically logs you into wp-admin. No passwords are stored or transmitted.

Question 3

Is my WordPress data secure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All communication between your WordPress sites and Rootscope Remote Site Manager uses HMAC-signed API requests with timestamps to prevent replay attacks. We only collect plugin/theme versions and site status - never your content, users, or sensitive data. Login tokens are single-use and expire within 5 minutes.

Question 4

How often does the dashboard sync with my sites?

Accepted Answer

Your connected WordPress sites sync automatically once per day. You can also trigger a manual sync anytime by clicking the refresh button on any site. This updates plugin versions, theme data, WordPress core version, and PHP version information.

Question 5

Does it work with any WordPress site?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Rootscope Remote Site Manager works with any self-hosted WordPress site running WordPress 5.0 or higher. It's compatible with all major hosting providers, custom servers, and local development environments. Managed WordPress hosts like WordPress.com (business plan) are also supported.

Question 6

What happens if a plugin update is available?

Accepted Answer

Rootscope Remote Site Manager checks the WordPress.org plugin repository daily to identify available updates. Sites with outdated plugins are flagged in your dashboard so you can see at a glance which sites need attention. One-click login makes it easy to update plugins directly in each site's wp-admin.

Question 7

Can I manage client sites with Rootscope Remote Site Manager?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Rootscope Remote Site Manager is perfect for freelancers and agencies managing multiple client sites. Add unlimited sites, organize them by client, and use one-click login to quickly access any site. Your clients don't need accounts - you manage everything from your dashboard.

Question 8

How do I install the WordPress plugin?

Accepted Answer

After adding a site in your dashboard, you'll receive API credentials. Download the Rootscope Remote Site Manager plugin from our dashboard, install it on your WordPress site via Plugins > Add New > Upload, then enter your API key and secret in Settings > WP Admin. The plugin will sync automatically.
