Actions

The Actions page is the central hub where you run operations on one or more selected websites. It uses resources you created (themes, plugins, snippets, and system reports) and applies them across sites in parallel.

Each website is listed with a checkbox. Use the Select All checkbox to include every available website. Actions run on the set of currently selected sites. You can uncheck individual sites after using Select All.

Select websites using checkboxes; use Select All to include all sites quickly.

Actions operate on resources you register in Control Spot. The main action types are listed below.

1. Themes — install, update, activate, deactivate, delete
2. Plugins — install, update, activate, deactivate, delete
3. Snippets — apply registered code snippets to selected websites
4. WordPress Core — update WordPress core
5. System Reports — view custom system reports for selected websites

Choose which resource and action you want to run across selected sites.

When you start an action, Control Spot executes it in parallel on all selected websites. The results table shows one row per website with success/failure status and an execution log for troubleshooting.

1. Select websites (or use Select All)
2. Choose a resource (theme, plugin, snippet, core, or report)
3. Pick the specific action (install / update / apply / view)
4. Confirm and run the action
5. Monitor per-site status in the results table

Test risky actions on a staging site first. For snippets, prefer idempotent code (safe to run multiple times) or include a one-time guard. Review failure logs and retry only after verifying the issue.

1. Register a theme
2. Register a plugin
3. Register a snippet
4. Register a system report
