EmDash rebuilds the WordPress publishing experience as an open-source CMS, with drafts, revisions, scheduled posts, a media library, menus, widgets, and plugins that run in sandboxes and can only do what they declare. Writers get a rich-text editor with featured images, slugs, bylines, categories, and tags, plus signed preview links for unpublished work and a calendar of everything published or scheduled. Site builders define their own content types in a visual schema builder, choosing required and searchable fields, URL patterns, comments, SEO metadata, and edit locking so two people never overwrite each other. Uploads are drag and drop, with folders and filename search in the media library. Menus, sidebar widgets, reusable sections, and redirects with a 404 log shape the public site. Access is passkey-first, with OAuth and magic-link fallbacks, four roles from Contributor to Administrator, comment moderation, and personal API tokens. Coming from WordPress? Point the importer at a migration key, a site URL, or an exported XML file and it carries over posts, pages, media, and taxonomies. Plugins add hooks, settings, admin pages, dashboard widgets, custom blocks, and API routes after declaring capabilities such as content:read or email:send, while a built-in MCP server and CLI let AI assistants manage content directly. Blog, marketing, and portfolio templates give new sites a head start. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

One dashboard for every WordPress site you look after: that is WPMgr, a self-hosted control panel that replaces dozens of separate wp-admin tabs with a fleet view you own. Enroll a site by URL, paste a one-time code into its agent plugin, and the connection flips live on its own. From there the daily grind changes shape. Backups stream straight out of PHP with no mysqldump and no shell access, chunked and deduplicated, scheduled per site, and restorable as a whole site or just the database. Updates stop being a weekend ritual: preview the run dry, apply it across the fleet, and let the automatic snapshot and health check roll back a bad release before a client notices. Uptime probes split DNS, TLS, and time-to-first-byte, flag certificates about to expire, and open exactly one incident per outage instead of a storm of alerts. The Sites grid leads with a fresh screenshot of every homepage, so the dead site is visible before the client calls. Core files get diffed against official WordPress.org checksums, brute-force logins meet escalating lockouts, and an IP firewall fires before other plugins load. Page caching, Redis object cache, image optimization, and per-site email fill the remaining gaps, and every command between dashboard and agent is signed so nothing can be forged in transit.
