FAQs
What does WP Foundry do?
WP Foundry is a local application for administering WordPress websites. Current functionality is limited to basic plugin and theme actions, and updating the core. More functionality and a roadmap is coming soon!
What does it cost?
A license currently only costs $5.00! This includes one year of updates, although you can use it forever.
This is a special introductory price and it will increase soon, so don’t miss out!
Is there a free version?
Yes, you can get a free license on the buy now page. The free version has all the functionality of the full version, but only allows you to use it with a single WordPress website.
What is required to run WP Foundry?
WP Foundry runs on your computer (Windows, Mac and Linux are supported), and at least one WordPress website is required. (The WordPress sites can be local or on a server.)
WP CLI needs to be installed on each WordPress site.
WP Foundry connects to your servers over SSH, so you need SSH access to each server.
Will it work on my machine?
It should… There are releases available for Windows, Mac and Linux and it’s has been tested on all of these platforms.
A free license enables you to use WP Foundry with one site, so you are free to try before you buy to make sure it works for you. Get a free (or paid) license here.
Will it work with all my WordPress sites?
Again, it should… If you have a standard WordPress installation on a Linux server, it should work fine. If you have a Windows server, some functionality may not work as expected. A free license enables you to use it with a single WordPress site, so you can try it out before purchasing.
Does this require me to install a plugin?
No plugin is required! Instead of using plugins, WP Foundry uses WP CLI to do most of the work on the server.
