Documentation

WP Octo keeps a fleet of WordPress sites updated, backed up and watched.

The application at wpocto.com is where you manage your sites; a worker plugin on every managed site does the work. These pages explain both, for the people who use the dashboard and the people who look after the sites and their hosting.
