Changelog

We’ve just launched a big new feature that makes getting started with FlyWP easier than before.

FlyWP Partners with DigitalOcean

When you try to create a new server, you’d now see a brand-new section “Provision through FlyWP” on top of the server creation page. Previously, to get started with FlyWP you required a server to get started, as FlyWP lacked the feature to provision server on its own. Well, that’s a thing of the past now.

FlyWP has partnered with DigitalOcean, so you can provision servers on DigitalOcean without leaving the FlyWP dashboard (the feature requires credit card on file to get started). Once you proceed with “Provision through FlyWP” option, you’d be able to choose your server’s location, CPU, RAM and other hardware details and provision in minutes to get started with your WordPress experience.

Good news from FlyWP! Managing your website’s files has become easier with our new SFTP File Manager integrated directly into your site management dashboard.

What’s New:

• File Management at Your Fingertips: Navigate through your website’s file structure without needing to SSH into your server.
• File Operations Simplified: Effortlessly rename, delete, and create new files and folders right from the dashboard.
• Upload Without Limits: Our chunked upload method allows you to upload large files, bypassing any site-imposed file size restrictions.

You can now navigate your site’s directories, and manage files without needing to access the server via SSH. Create, rename, and delete files or folders in just a few clicks. Plus, uploading large files is no longer a headache, thanks to our new chunked upload feature, which lets you bypass any site upload limits.

We’ve started with the essentials, but this is just the beginning. More sophisticated features, such as file editing and archive management, are on the way.

We’re pleased to announce the release of a highly requested feature: the ability to manage Cron Jobs directly from the FlyWP dashboard. This new functionality allows users to automate repetitive tasks on their server with ease.

What’s New:

• Simplified Cron Job Creation: Users can now add Cron Jobs through the FlyWP dashboard with a user-friendly interface.
• Flexible Scheduling Options: Choose how often your jobs run, with options ranging from every minute to monthly, or even upon reboot.
• User-Specific Execution: Assign Cron Jobs to specific users on your system for better control and security.
• Instant Feedback: Get immediate confirmation when a new Cron Job is created, with all details readily visible in the dashboard.

Setting up a Cron Job is straightforward:

1. Navigate to the ‘Crons‘ tab.
2. Click on ‘Add Cron‘ to schedule a new job.
3. Fill in the command, user, and frequency.
4. Confirm the creation and the new job will appear in your Cron Job list, ready to go.

This update is part of our commitment to providing powerful, yet easy-to-use tools to manage your server environment more effectively.

Stay tuned for more updates, and happy automating!

We’re excited to announce an update that streamlines the caching management experience for FlyWP users. Redis Object Cache control is now directly accessible from the FlyWP dashboard, making it easier than ever to handle your site’s caching needs.

What’s New:

• Dashboard Integration: Redis Object Cache enable/disable functionality is now a part of the FlyWP dashboard.
• Renamed Sidebar: The sidebar previously known as “Page Caching” has been aptly renamed to “Caching” to reflect the broader scope of caching options available, including page and object caching.
• Simplified Cache Clearing: Clear your site’s page and object cache with the click of a button directly from the dashboard, ensuring your content is fresh and your site is performing at its best.

Additional Details:

• The “Caching” page now includes options for both FastCGI Cache and Redis Object Cache.
• Enabling Redis Object Cache can significantly speed up your website by storing database query results and API calls in fast-access memory.
• This update aims to provide more control and flexibility to website administrators and developers directly through the FlyWP interface.

To manage your site’s cache, simply go to the “Caching” tab in your dashboard. Here, you’ll find the options to toggle FastCGI and Redis Object Cache, as well as to clear the cache as needed.

We hope this update enhances your FlyWP experience, providing more convenience and control over your site’s performance.

Happy caching!
