THE ORBIT DESK

Keep routine WordPress maintenance moving.

Orbit brings available updates into the site record so the team can inspect the installed stack and run supported updates through the WordPress connector. The separate Safe Update workflow is coming.

Review available updates

See WordPress core, plugin, and theme update information before choosing the maintenance work to run.

Update from the site record

Use the connected WordPress site to run supported update actions, subject to your role and connection permissions.

Keep the result visible

Review action status and history alongside the site, then use the work record for follow-up and reporting.

Standard WordPress updates are available. Safe Update and its planned staging and visual review workflow are coming; standard updates do not provide those safeguards automatically.

Room for a considered decision

An update count is the start of the review.

Before updating a client site, you need to understand what is active, what the site depends on, and which pages matter to the business. An unused plugin and a checkout dependency call for different decisions, even when both show an available update.

Orbit brings available WordPress updates into the site record alongside the installed stack and conflict rules. Safe Update is coming, with a planned staging and visual review workflow to help teams prepare changes before production.

How it works

From update availability to recorded outcome.

A standard update starts with the current site inventory and ends with a result the team can inspect.

    Inspect the site

    Check the installed WordPress stack, available versions, and relevant warnings.

  2. Action

    Choose the update

    Select a supported core, plugin, or theme update for the connected site.

  3. Follow-up

    Read the outcome

    Review the operation result and investigate any errors before continuing work.
