    Screenshot 2026-07-03 153815.png

    How do I mass update hundreds of my WordPress websites?

    I can't select which ones to update by checking the boxes to perform a mass update.

      Hello @imatbagjagumilar
      I see you just created your topic first in @discuss and now in @wordpress-managed, but I can see from the screenshot you are using the @wordpress-developer app variant.
      In the future, you don't need to delete your post, we can simply move it to the correct category.
      I will move your topic to @wordpress-developer


      To answer your question, there is no way to mass update many apps.
      What you can do is configure the automatic app and system updates in the dashboard under /#/system-update to run every hour and let the system do its job over a day.
      This will update all apps and not like you stated specific ones.
      The following is not possible from the dashboard, but you can set a quicker time frame instead of hourly with the API.

      Example: Run app and system updates every minute.

      # Replace $TOKEN with your API token
      export TOKEN="-wAXL5GxnvxfNQc_YouHuAsEsmXQ_7lprev9Wf-U5ii"
      curl 'https://my.cloudron.dev/api/v1/updater/autoupdate_config' \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
        -H 'content-type: application/json' \
        --data-raw '{"schedule":"*/1 * * * *","policy":"platform_and_apps"}'
      

      I have tested this by installing a previous version of the LAMP app and then just waited.

      You could also create a list off app IDs that should be updated and then also use the API to update them.


      Maybe we can also treat this topic as a feature request.

      Add the option to select apps to perform actions for the selected apps
      e.g.: update, disable/enable auto updates, stop/start etc.

        👏 💯

        I've been meaning to add such a feature request.
