- [Managed Static WordPress](https://wpmaintain.com/feature/managed-static-wordpress/): Every fleet has sites that changed for the last time years ago. The restaurant menu, the brochure site, the campaign page that never ended. They generate no revenue pressure, no content velocity, and no upgrade budget, but every one of them still runs a full PHP stack that must be patched, updated, and defended forever. […]
- [Safe Updates](https://wpmaintain.com/feature/safe-updates/): Apply WordPress updates safely with automated backups, monitoring, and rollback, reducing breakage, downtime, and reactive support tickets.
- [Plugin and Theme Manager](https://wpmaintain.com/feature/plugin-and-theme-manager/): Plugins and themes are where WordPress breaks. They are the largest attack surface, the most common cause of failed updates, and the hardest layer to see across a fleet. WP Maintain’s Plugin and Theme Manager turns that layer into managed inventory: full visibility, policy-based control, and bulk action across every site on your platform. Total […]

- [Update Confidence Score](https://wpmaintain.com/feature/update-confidence-score/): Every WordPress update is a coin flip if you don’t have context. A minor patch to a contact form plugin might be perfectly safe, but a major version jump on WooCommerce could break checkout flows across hundreds of customer sites. For hosting companies managing thousands of WordPress installations, the question before every update isn’t whether […]

- [Troubleshooting](https://wpmaintain.com/feature/troubleshooting/): Something is broken and nobody knows why. That sentence is where most WordPress support time goes, and where customer trust is won or lost. WP Maintain’s Care includes troubleshooting as a delivered service: real diagnosis and real resolution, executed with full platform context, tracked from report to fix.
