Toorimichi

Description

Toorimichi is a tool that consolidates update management for multiple WordPress sites into a single screen.

Install this plugin on each site, and you can check and update the status of all your sites from a dedicated dashboard (web app).

Key Features

  • Update status overview — Shows whether core, themes, and plugins have updates available for each site
  • Update execution from the dashboard — Complete updates on the spot, without visiting each site’s admin screen
  • Post-update health check — Automatically confirms the site is running correctly after an update
  • Update history — Records when, what, and to which version each update was applied
  • Content health — Shows the date of the last published post, number of stale posts, pending comments, and drafts
  • Environment info — Retrieves SSL status, WP_DEBUG state, file edit permissions, DB version, and inactive plugin count
  • Per-site notes — Attach memos and operational notes to each site
  • Domain expiry display — Automatically fetched via RDAP API, or entered manually

How it works

  1. Install this plugin on each WordPress site
  2. Get a connection token from the plugin’s settings screen
  3. Register the site on the dashboard (toorimichi.michiblog.website)
  4. Check the status of and update all your sites from the dashboard

Security

  • Connection tokens are never stored in the browser (encrypted and stored server-side)
  • Communication between the plugin and dashboard is protected by signatures (the token itself never travels over the wire)
  • Dashboard login uses passkey authentication (Touch ID / Face ID)
  • No information is returned to unauthenticated requests
  • Post content and personal user data are never sent

Who is this for?

  • Individuals or small businesses running two or more WordPress sites
  • Anyone who tends to put off update management
  • Anyone who doesn’t need a highly complex management tool

Third Party Services

This plugin connects to an external service to function as a remote management tool.

Toorimichi Dashboard (Cloudflare Workers)

When a request is received from the Toorimichi dashboard, this plugin responds with site status information (WordPress version, plugin/theme versions, update availability, content statistics, and environment details). It also accepts update execution commands from the dashboard.

Communication occurs only when the dashboard sends authenticated requests to this plugin. No data is sent proactively from this plugin. All requests are verified using HMAC-SHA256 signatures; unauthenticated requests receive no information.

The dashboard stores the following data in Cloudflare Workers KV (encrypted):

  • Site URL and name
  • Connection token (AES-256-GCM encrypted)
  • User memos and domain expiry dates
  • Update history

WordPress.org Plugin API

This plugin uses the standard WordPress update check mechanism (get_site_transient('update_plugins') / get_site_transient('update_themes')) which communicates with the WordPress.org API to check for available updates. This is standard WordPress core behavior and is not specific to this plugin.

Installation

  1. From the WordPress admin, go to Plugins Add New and search for “Toorimichi” to install it
  2. Activate the plugin
  3. Go to Settings Toorimichi and copy the connection token
  4. Open the Toorimichi dashboard and register the site
