Plugin Manager with a
sprinkle of AI

Regression testing is a process where Staq's system automatically checks your website for errors after each plugin or theme update. If anything goes wrong, the system reverts the plugin or theme to the previous version to prevent any disruptions to your site.

When Staq updates a plugin, we prioritize your site's stability:

1. Backup First: We start by making a temporary copy of the existing plugin as a safety net.
2. Update: The plugin is then updated to the latest version.
3. Test: We automatically run a series of regression tests to ensure the update works perfectly with your site.
4. Success or Revert: If the update passes all tests, we remove the temporary backup. If there's an issue, we promptly revert to the original version, ensuring your site remains stable and functional.

This process ensures that updates do not disrupt your site's performance or user experience.

Absolutely. Staq gives you the flexibility to manually update your plugins and themes individually or in bulk, providing a simple and consolidated interface for all updates.

Locking down plugins and themes gives a warning inside the WordPress dashboard to not update them. This feature, managed within the Staq Dashboard, offers an additional layer of control over when and how your site's components are updated.

Indeed, Staq's Plugin Manager can replace a variety of other management tools you might be using, such as InfiniteWP, Malcare, or ManageWP, by consolidating the management of updates into one efficient platform.

No, we do not offer visual regression testing as we believe it's not the most reliable indicator of update success. Visual tests may pass on cached pages even if underlying errors exist, which could lead to site outages. Our approach focuses on functionality and stability to ensure updates truly enhance your site without introducing new issues.

Yes, this is configurable inside the settings found inside the Staq dashboard.

Staq can automatically update premium plugins that are available in the WordPress repository. For plugins not in the repository, updates can be managed manually. With our Staq Global Plugins feature, you can update a plugin once, and it'll cascade across all your sites, saving time and ensuring consistency.

Currently, Staq Global Plugins does not include regression testing. However, we provide comprehensive logs that allow you to monitor and identify any issues across your sites post-update, giving you the information needed to take quick action if necessary.
