Connect websites through Stellar Manager Client, synchronize plugin and theme inventories, run individual WordPress core/plugin/theme updates, and view operation history and technical diagnostics. Essential includes site naming, pause/ resume controls, language settings, and no site quota or paid activation. Essential uses each connected site’s normal WordPress update system. Safe Update, backup creation and restoration, rollback, private plugin/theme ZIP repositories, and traffic reports are available through the separate Pro add-on, not the Essential plugin. #### Upgrade to Stellar Manager Pro Need more control over WordPress maintenance? Extend your existing Stellar dashboard with professional tools designed to make updates safer and site management more efficient: * **Bulk Updates:** Update WordPress, plugins, and themes across connected sites from one dashboard. * **Safe Update:** Create a restore point before supported updates, verify site health, and automatically roll back when a post-update check fails. * **Backups and Restoration:** Create, download, and restore website backups. * **Rollback:** Revert to a saved restore point when you need to undo changes. * **Private Plugin and Theme Repository:** Manage private ZIP packages and deploy updates to your connected websites. * **PDF Traffic Reports:** Generate reports and send them to clients by email, according to your plan. Stellar Manager Pro is an optional, separately installed commercial add-on requiring a paid license. Features and managed-site capacity depend on your plan. Essential remains free and functional without Pro. [Explore Stellar Manager Pro features and plans](https://stellar.gmscreativo.com/) ### Privacy and external services The plugin does not contact the Stellar license service by default. After an administrator enters a Client pairing code, it contacts that selected client site over signed HTTPS to synchronize and perform requested operations. Essential does not query WordPress.org to detect or install Client updates. It displays the Client version reported by each connected site. Client releases are maintained separately from Essential. Essential includes an optional installation status sharing setting that is off by default. Enabling it sends the manager URL, anonymous installation identifier, version, connected-site count, and last-seen time to stellar.gmscreativo.com. Disabling it requests removal. Essential does not collect visitor statistics. Technical diagnostics and operation history are stored on the manager site. ## Screenshots [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ ## መጫን 1.
