Hi folks,

Looking for recommendations on software I can use to manage a bunch of wordpress sites in one interface/login.

Any insight appreciated.

    You didn't really elaborate what kind of managing you want to do, (inhouse-offsite), but as mojojuju pointed out, multisite is good for inhouse.

    If you want a third party service then these are popular:
    ManageWP.com
    InfiniteWP.com
    Worpit.com
    Xmarkpro.com

    of these four I like managewp.com

    EDIT: I should point out that multisite vs these others are completely different. Multisite is for creating a network of sites, the services are for having all your sites in one central dashboard.

    Simplescripts is excellent. I use it to maintain about 40 WordPress websites, on 4 different servers.

      No, you don't.
      You can install and, eventually, upgrade different script with it... but you can not "manage" them with Simplescripts. Providing the OP meant by "managing" making posts, adding content etc.

    I'm looking for a similar solution as well. I want to manage a large amount of blogs from one location. In a perfect world I would not like to pay a recurring fee or a small fortune. Any ideas? I as well wish to stay away from WP Multisite as I am using multiple domains.

      1. You can have multiple domains when using Multisite - just take the time and effort to learn about domain mapping.

      2. There were 4 more different solutions suggested above. Which one did you try BEFORE posting?

        As I said earlier, I wish to STAY AWAY from Multisite. I'm quite familiar with multi-site and do not want to use multisite. I WAS a user of ManageWp. Not to say managewp isn't good, I'm just assuming there is a desktop software out there that will do similar functions without having to pay monthly.
