Agency Command Post

Agency Command Post (or just “Command Post”) is built for agencies and freelancers managing more than one WordPress site. Instead of logging into each client site to check for updates, install this plugin once and see everything from a single dashboard at agencycommandpost.com.

This plugin requires a free Command Post account. Sign up, add a site, and you’ll get an API key to paste into the plugin’s settings page. The free plan covers up to 5 sites.

What it does

• Reports your WordPress version and PHP version
• Reports every installed plugin and theme — name, version, active status, and whether an update is available
• Sends this report automatically, once per hour, via WordPress’s built-in cron
• Lets you trigger a manual report at any time from the plugin’s settings page

What it doesn’t do

Command Post never accesses your site’s content, database, users, or visitor data. It only reports the software inventory listed above — nothing else ever leaves your site.

Why use it

• See PHP end-of-life warnings before they become emergencies
• Spot outdated or inactive-but-vulnerable plugins across every client site at once
• Stop context-switching between a dozen wp-admin logins just to check for updates

External services

This plugin connects to Command Post (agencycommandpost.com), a service operated by the same company that publishes this plugin, to provide the site-monitoring dashboard this plugin exists for.

Once you enter an API key (obtained from your free Command Post account), the plugin sends the following to https://agencycommandpost.com/api/ping once per hour via WordPress’s built-in cron, and also when you click “Send ping now”:

• Your site’s API key (identifies which Command Post account/site the report belongs to)
• Your WordPress version and PHP version
• The name, version, active status, and update availability of every installed plugin and theme

No page content, visitor data, or user data is ever collected or sent. If no API key is configured, the plugin makes no external requests at all.

See the Command Post Privacy Policy for details on how this data is used and retained.
