Pressable Integration

Handle Pressable CDN, staging and backup tasks for your child sites without logging in to Pressable.

Pressable hosting controls next to your child sites

The Pressable Integration is a Pro MainWP add-on that lets you run Pressable hosting tasks for your Pressable-hosted child sites from your MainWP Dashboard, without logging in to Pressable. From one table you create Pressable sites, turn sites and the Pressable CDN on or off, switch between staging and live, and restore or download backups.

One place for hosting and site maintenance

Agencies that host client sites on Pressable run hosting tasks in the Pressable dashboard and site maintenance in MainWP, switching between the two to create a site, check its environment or data center, turn on the CDN, or find a backup. The Pressable Integration puts those hosting actions next to your child sites in MainWP, one site at a time or in bulk.

Features

The Pressable Integration covers the hosting tasks you’d otherwise open the Pressable dashboard for.

Feature	What it means for you
Pressable site overview	One table lists every Pressable site that is also a child site in your Dashboard, with its CDN status, State, Environment, Data Center, IP Address, Visits This Month, Visits Last Two Years and Last Backup.
Create Pressable sites	Click Create New Site, enter a site name, choose whether it is a staging site, WordPress or WooCommerce, the PHP version and, optionally, the data center.
Site state, environment and CDN	Set a site to Live or Disabled, convert it from live to staging or from staging to live, enable or disable the Pressable CDN, or delete the site from your Pressable account.
Backups	Open a site’s Pressable Backups page to start a site restore or download an existing backup file.
phpMyAdmin access	Open the site’s phpMyAdmin page on Pressable from its actions menu.
Bulk hosting actions	Enable, disable or delete sites, convert between live and staging, enable or disable the CDN, or open phpMyAdmin for several sites at once from the Bulk Actions menu.
Automatic site matching	Version 5.1 links Pressable sites to child sites by the Pressable primary URL and any custom domains, so a child site on a custom domain is matched with no manual mapping.

How the integration talks to your hosting account

The Pressable Integration runs on your MainWP Dashboard and talks to the Pressable API with your Client ID and Client Secret. It lists the Pressable sites that are also child sites in your Dashboard, matched by primary URL and custom domains. Hosting actions such as Enable, Disable, Delete and CDN changes apply to the site in your Pressable account.

Pressable FAQ

Which Pressable sites show up in MainWP?

The Pressable Integration shows each Pressable site that is also added to your MainWP Dashboard as a child site. It matches the child site’s URL against the Pressable primary URL and custom domains, so after you add or change a custom domain in Pressable, reload the Pressable API data from the Dashboard tab.

Can I restore a Pressable backup from MainWP?

You can start a Pressable site restore from MainWP. Choose Manage Backups from the site’s actions menu to open its Pressable Backups page, then start a site restore or download one of the existing backup files.

How do I disconnect my Pressable account?

To disconnect the Pressable Integration, open the Settings tab, clear the Client ID and Client Secret fields, and click Save Settings. Saving empty values removes the stored credentials and the cached access token.

What do I need to pay for?

The Pressable Integration needs a MainWP Pro license and an active Pressable hosting account, where you create the API Application that gives you the Client ID and Client Secret.
