WP Mass Upgrade

Designed for hosts with lots of individual WordPress blogs to manage. If all blogs are managed via subversion, this script can iterate through all of them and upgrade each to the latest version in seconds.

Here at Birdhouse Hosting, we use this system every time WordPress is updated, and are able to bump 100+ WordPress installations to the next version in three minutes flat.

Designed to be used in conjunction with WP-Create, which is the fastest way to set up fresh WP installations via svn.

    Hi,

    Great post, I was actually sent the link by a friend.

    I’m interested in setting up a platform for launching hundreds of WP sites that can be mass updated and maintained as your mention here with some other functionality.

    Would you be interested in the project or do you know anyone?

    Thanks!!

    Hey Jeffrey – Sounds very cool. I don’t have time to get involved, sorry – this script suits my needs very well. Do post here in the future if you end up deploying the project, and let us know how it goes.

    Hello Scot!
    Is there any way to update content on external blogs using your script?
    Thanks!

    Max – This script has absolutely nothing to do with content – it just manages WP software itself.

    Heya – What do you mean by “backup” — what would you want to see backed up? Files or database? Both? Where should they go? When would they be deleted? Just trying to get a sense of what you’re asking for here.
