SiteAgent is the bridge between your WordPress sites and the Aura infrastructure dashboard — a unified control center for teams managing multiple WordPress sites alongside servers, CDN, and DNS.

Install this plugin on any WordPress site to unlock remote management capabilities directly from Aura — no SSH, no wp-admin juggling, no manual logins.

What You Can Do

  • Monitor site health — See WordPress version, PHP version, installed plugins & themes, database info, and disk usage in real time.
  • Update plugins, themes & core remotely — Push updates to any connected site from the Aura dashboard, no wp-admin login.
  • Safe batch updates with auto-rollback — Run chunked updates with health checks; if an update breaks the site, the plugin restores the previous version automatically.
  • Per-plugin rollback — Every update is zip-snapshotted first; restore any plugin to its last good state on demand.
  • Bulk translation & database upgrades — Update all language packs and run WordPress database migrations remotely.
  • One-click connect (magic link) — Connect a site to Aura straight from wp-admin — no manual token copy/paste.
  • AI-agent ready (MCP tools) — Exposes machine-readable tools (site context, safe plugin update, asset cleanup, vulnerability checks) for AI-driven management.
  • Zero frontend impact — The plugin only registers REST API endpoints. No scripts, no styles, no database queries on visitor-facing page loads.

How It Works

After activation, click Connect to Aura on the Settings SiteAgent page for a one-click magic-link connection, or copy the Site Token shown once and paste it into your Aura dashboard manually. From that point, Aura communicates with your site over a signed, authenticated REST API to pull health data and push updates.

Security

Defence-in-depth protects every request:

  1. WordPress Application Password — Standard WordPress auth with capability checks (manage_options / update_*). Only authorized administrators can trigger actions.
  2. Hashed Site Token — A per-site token sent via the X-Aura-Token header. Only a SHA-256 hash is stored (never the raw token), compared timing-safely. Tokens from older versions migrate to a hash automatically.
  3. Brute-force throttling — Repeated bad-token attempts from an IP are blocked.
  4. Signed magic-link connect — The onboarding callback is HMAC-signed with a one-time secret and timestamp, so the token exchange can’t be hijacked or replayed.
  5. IP / Domain allowlist (optional) — Restrict API access to your Aura instance, with Cloudflare and reverse-proxy header support.

You can rotate the token anytime from Settings SiteAgent Regenerate Token.

About Aura

Aura is a full-stack operations dashboard by Digitizer that brings servers, applications, DNS zones, and CDN pull zones from Cloudways, Hostinger VPS, Cloudflare, and Bunny.net into a single unified interface.

SiteAgent extends that reach into every WordPress installation — so you can manage your entire infrastructure, including WordPress sites, from one place.
