Enhancementsfixes

Enhancements & Fixes – 30 April, 2024

✅ Fixing Backup on ARM processor: There were some cases when the backup feature wasn’t working properly for ARM based servers that we had added support recently. This should now be fixed for all users

✅ Fixing Error: Failed to fetch server status: For very large servers (e.g., 1TB+), the server status wasn’t working properly and it showed an error message. We’ve fixed this now; server status should work properly for all servers including larger ones, smaller ones, ARM based servers, and all other type of servers

✅ Additional validation before site creation: Previously there were some cases that the user created a new site before FlyWP could finish the server installation and finished everything. As the site was created before FlyWP could actually finish the installation, the site got database errors as database server wasn’t up by the time server was created. We’ve added validation in this case. From now on, FlyWP will ask the user to wait until FlyWP’s installation process is complete before user can create the server, ensuring a smoother and better user experience 🚀

FlyWP Server Provision

Deploy New Servers Directly Through FlyWP

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.

Sftp File Manager

New: SFTP File Manager

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.

Management and Security Enhancements

We’re excited to share the latest updates that enhance the management and security features of FlyWP. We have added two “Manage” sections for servers and sites.

For Server:

  • Service Management Made Simple: Easily restart server-wide services such as Nginx proxy, MySQL, Redis, and Ofelia directly from the new Manage tab in your server dashboard.
  • Enhanced SSH/SFTP Accessibility: SSH/SFTP information has been repositioned for better visibility in the UI, complete with convenient copy functionality.
  • Security Upgrades: The root password for MySQL was previously sent via email upon server provisioning. Now, for enhanced security, it has been removed from emails. These credentials are now securely accessible within the server dashboard UI.

New Feature: Email Sending

Now, you have the flexibility to utilize either a custom SMTP server or one from our list of supported providers for sending emails. No longer is it necessary to employ a custom SMTP plugin within your WordPress site. We’ve streamlined the process by automatically configuring the email sending settings for you natively.

Flywp Email Sending

Our integration seamlessly supports the following providers:

  • Postmark
  • SendGrid
  • Mailgun

Redis Cache Management

Redis Cache Management Is Now in Dashboard

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!
