Our friends over at Softaculous have released a new plugin for Blesta called WordPress Manager by Softaculous.

What does the WordPress Manager plugin do?

The plugin allows clients to manage their WordPress installations directly from within Blesta, under the “Manage” link for their hosting service. The cPanel module is currently supported, and other shared hosting modules will likely be supported in the future.

Screenshot below. For more screenshots, see the marketplace listing.

Blesta being the preferred billing panel of a large portion of our clients, ever since we launched the WordPress Manager in Softaculous several clients have inquired about being able to access it from the Blesta client panel as it would be convenient for their users that they will not have to login to their panel of WordPress admin to manage their WordPress sites. Now that we have launched the integration we hope it will make WordPress management easy for the users. — Softaculous

How can I get it?

A license for WordPress Manager can be purchased from Softaculous for a low yearly rate and works with unlimited servers.

The experts over at Expert Solution Technologies recently released a highly requested QuickBooks Online plugin for Blesta. If you use QuickBooks Online, you should check it out.

What does the QuickBooks plugin do?

The plugin connects Blesta with your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account, via their API, to sync your invoices, clients, and transactions.

We have worked with many APIs/frameworks. But working with Blesta, our developers felt nice and easy to get started. The well documented “Developer Manual” about APIs and “how to create plug-in” was handy. Programming Style Guide & Code samples were helpful to ensure the custom modules follow the same code standards. Overall, within a short time, we were able to make the integration work as we expected. Thank you, Blesta Team - Job well done! — Expert Technology Solutions
