We really needed this straight away.
How popular is Patchstack - how many of you are using it? I would imagine an integration would be relatively straightforward.
We do have the automatic updates of WordPress and plugins in the core toolkit. I understand in this case you would like the ability to force a plugin update on all known installations of WordPress via the UI?
Plesk's WP Toolkit use PatchStack.
It would be most ideal if we had the full functionality of PatchStack, as well as automatically disabling any affected plugins, and if there is a patch available automatically updating them, or applying the patch.
I believe PatchStack has database protection too
Zoinkies And doesn't plesk pay for a license for all its clients?
It looks great but seems very expensive to me.
Adrien You get 99 sites for free...?
Yes I believe so.
It’s what makes WP Toolkit so good, hardening, patching, etc.
Zoinkies I believe the Enhance team will also develop the same or better support for Wordpress.
@Adam nope not using patchstack.
kyzoeadmin As far as I remember they wrote on a blog once that WP Toolkit uses Patchstack
kyzoeadmin They do, Plesk has been a long term customer of Patchstack. I’ve confirmed this now.
Zoinkies If the Enhance team bought the license, it would be much cheaper than each of us individually. But that's an extra cost for Enhance. But maybe the Enhance team could resell us the license cheaper because of the large scale.
AdamM In fairness, I was going to include it for free in my reseller lel
@AdamM, It would be a great idea, if Enhance was a reseller for all the services, like LiteSpeed, Patchstack, BitNinja, cPGuard, Immunify, etc, so we could all benefit from a single bill and reduced prices.
What do others think of this?
prasad0889 What do others think of this?
Oh, that's a cool idea! I would prefer to buy everything through Enhance.
We will do some further investigation to see what exactly Patchstack offers and how it might benefit Enhance customers.
In the meantime I think we can offer bulk WordPress actions like forced plugin updates/disablement on a per-cluster, per-server and per-customer level.
Adam bulk WordPress actions like forced plugin updates/disablement
Plus Themes and translations please if feasible ;-)
I was just listening tot the wp builds podcast ep. 320 and they had a interview with the maintainer of wp vunerability which does a indetifiaqtion op wp vunerabilities even for premium plugins and themes.
I uses pathstack DB and cve DB, for this is looks Vert good to have at least a overview of vunerabilities in enhance cp for the users and us as admin.

I use Cloudways for some customers and they now have Patchstack https://www.cloudways.com/blog/introducing-wordpress-vulnerability-scanner/
I get notified by email if they detect any vulnerabilities. It would be a nice thing to have here as well 🙂
FWIW cPGuard has options to warn about WordPress out of date conditions (Core, Plugins and Themes.) Does't fix anything but at least clients should be notified. And their WAF is pretty good about thwarting known vulnerabilities.
