Introducing a new era in WordPress updates

Update WordPress core &
plugins and themes remotely

It's important to keep your WordPress sites updated, both for the security of your site and to take advantage of the latest features and improvements of your themes and plugins.

Updates to WordPress core and any plugins or themes installed on your sites can happen pretty frequently. And if you're managing multiple WordPress sites, keeping them all updated can take up a lot of your valuable time.

iThemes Sync is an easy way to manage updates for all your WordPress sites from one place. Instead of logging in to each site individually, you have one place to view and install available updates.

Weekly Notification Emails

Get a weekly summary of available updates for each site as a helpful reminder to log in and update.

Update Logs

View details from all updates made from Sync, including date/time of update, previous version and new version.

Hide Updates

If you've made customizations to your themes and plugins, an update could overwrite your work. Choose to ignore updates for specific themes and plugins.

Save time and multiple installation steps

Bulk install themes & plugins across multiple sites in seconds

Sync's Bulk Install feature allows you to install & activate plugins and themes across multiple WordPress sites. No more downloading zip files and manually uploading or logging in to each site to search and upload. You can also activate and deactivate themes and plugins remotely using iThemes Sync.

iThemes Themes & Plugins

If you're a current iThemes customer, you don’t have to manually log in to the iThemes Member Panel to download your purchased themes and plugins each time you need to install them on a new site. Sync will handle it for you — saving you download and installation steps (so, ultimately, lots of time!)

WordPress.org

Search the WordPress.org free plugin and theme directories and install themes and plugins straight from Sync. This makes installing all your favorite free themes and plugins so much easier by eliminating the step of logging in to each site, searching and installing.

Install from ZIP

Upload your theme and plugin zips to install directly from the Sync dashboard. No more logging in, uploading and activating on each individual site.

Pretty cool huh? Ready to get started?

Sync + Client Sites = Match made in heaven

Manage your client sites more efficiently

Sync was made for anyone managing multiple WordPress sites. If you're building sites for clients, you'll love our client-driven features.

Hide Sync from Your Client Sites

To keep your clients or other site users from messing with your Sync authentication or removing the plugin, you can choose to hide or show the plugin in the WordPress dashboard of each site you manage with Sync.

Client Dashboardpro

Control what your clients see in their WordPress dashboard by choosing which navigation items to display. Don't want them have access to plugins, themes or settings? Simplify their dashboard so they only see what they need -- like posts and pages.

Just in case we forgot

WordPress updates on the go

Conveniently update your
sites from anywhere

We know you don't always have your laptop with you. But that shouldn't stop you from checking in and keeping your WordPress sites up to date (and backed up). So we made our new Sync dashboard fully responsive. So whether you're on your phone in the food court or using your iPad on the couch, it's super easy to use Sync from anywhere. And with our free Sync iPhone app, you can stay up to date while on the go!

Secure Site Management

Enable Two-factor authentication for an extra layer of protection

Add an extra layer of protection to your Sync dashboard login with two-factor authentication. Once enabled, Sync will require both a password AND an SMS code sent to your mobile device to log in to the Sync Dashboard. This feature is available in both the free and Pro versions of Sync. We strongly recommend enabling Sync's two-factor authentication because it verifies it’s actually you logging in to manage your sites.

Other questions?

How does Sync work?
Install the iThemes Sync plugin on your site, then log in to your iThemes Sync Dashboard. From there, you can see the available updates for each site and update to the latest version of WordPress or any installed themes and plugins remotely.
What can Sync update?
Right now Sync can update your WordPress version, themes and plugins. You can also now activate and deactivate plugins and themes, and manage BackupBuddy backups all from Sync. And there’s more cool stuff on the way. Check out our public roadmap.
How many sites can I Sync?
You can use Sync on up to 100 sites, depending on which plan you have. Active iThemes customers can sync up to 10 sites per customer account for free. You can check out the upgrade options to manage more sites (up to 100 for now).
Do you have tutorials and documentation for Sync?
Yes. Check out these Sync video tutorials and the iThemes Codex for Sync documentation for more detailed information about Sync features. 
Will Sync work with all my themes and plugins?
All themes and plugins that have automatic updates available can be updated from Sync. For iThemes products and other commercial products, you need to be sure to license or register them first so you can update those.
Do I have to be an iThemes customer to use Sync?
Not anymore. At first, we introduced iThemes Sync just to our community. But now anyone can sign up for a Sync plan.
Can I combine (stack) Sync site plans?
Sync plans cannot be combined. If you have the 10-site plan and upgrade to the 25-site plan, you can manage up to 25 total sites, not a combined 35 sites. If you have questions about Sync plans or need more than 100 sites, contact us here.
Will this work in my local environment?
No. You need an Internet connection to the site and thus to the updates in order for Sync to work.
Is this secure?
Yes. Sync uses industry standard SSL technology to encrypt your site details and only allows access from the accounts you authenticate.
How can I keep my clients from messing with
the Sync authentication or removing the plugin?
You can choose to hide or show the Sync plugin from being visible in the site’s WordPress dashboard. This way, your clients or anyone else using the site can’t see iThemes Sync to remove or deactivate it.
If I’m added as a user to someone else’s Sync site will
it count against my total number of available Sync sites?
Yes. Sync includes the option to add additional Sync users to a site, but adding that user will count against their total number of available Sync sites. Any site managed from the Sync dashboard, even if you’ve been added as a user by someone else, is still a site you’re managing with Sync, so it counts against your total number of available sites.
What’s coming next for Sync?
We have big plans for the future of iThemes Sync. Check out our public roadmap for more details and to vote on future features you want to see. To add a feature request, use this form to tell us what you want to see Sync help you do in the future.
