SiteAgent for Aura
SiteAgent is the bridge between your WordPress sites and the Aura infrastructure dashboard — a unified control center for teams managing multiple WordPress sites alongside servers, CDN, and DNS.
Install this plugin on any WordPress site to unlock remote management capabilities directly from Aura — no SSH, no wp-admin juggling, no manual logins.
What You Can Do
- Monitor site health — See WordPress version, PHP version, installed plugins & themes, database info, and disk usage in real time.
- Update plugins remotely — Push plugin updates to any connected site from the Aura dashboard.
- Update themes remotely — Keep themes current across all your sites with a single click.
- Update WordPress core — Upgrade to the latest WordPress version without touching wp-admin.
- Bulk translation updates — Update all language packs in one operation.
- Run database upgrades — Execute WordPress database migrations remotely after updates.
- Zero frontend impact — The plugin only registers REST API endpoints. No scripts, no styles, no database queries on visitor-facing page loads.
How It Works
After activation, the plugin registers a set of secure REST API endpoints under /wp-json/aura/v1/. You copy the auto-generated Site Token from Tools → SiteAgent and paste it into your Aura dashboard. From that point, Aura can communicate with your site to pull health data and push updates.
Security
Three layers of authentication protect every request:
- WordPress Application Password — Standard WordPress auth with capability checks (
manage_options/update_plugins). Only authorized administrators can trigger actions. - Site Token — A unique 32-character token sent via the
X-Aura-Tokenheader and verified with timing-safe comparison on every request. - IP Whitelist (optional) — Restrict API access to your Aura instance’s IP address only, with full support for Cloudflare and reverse proxy headers.
REST API Endpoints
All endpoints live under /wp-json/aura/v1/:
GET /status— Full site health reportGET /updates— Check available updates (core, plugins, themes, translations)POST /update/core— Update WordPress corePOST /update/plugin— Update a specific pluginPOST /update/theme— Update a specific themePOST /update/translations— Bulk update all translation packsPOST /update/database— Run WordPress database upgrades
