Leveraging the JSON API Plugin for WordPress Maintanence

In this session, we will discuss how we extended the JSON API Contrib plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/json-api/) to manage and streamline various admin tasks such as: WordPress Core updates or installing a specific version Enable, disable, update, and install plugins. Revert plugin updates Add, delete, update users.

NorthPoint Digital builds enterprise digital platforms to support and transform user experiences and interactions across the web, mobile and social touch points. We have been at the forefront of delivering some of the most high-trafficked, content-managed WordPress sites for many of the world’s leading organizations across the Media, Publishing, Healthcare, Education, and Not-for-Profit industries. With such a large number of sites to manage, a solution was needed to simplify site management. NorthPoint Digital’s team developed a solution that allows us to manipulate WordPress without logging into the admin control panel. In addition, with this solution, we can install plugins or core updates without manually having to download plugin files from wordpress.org and upload them to the server.
