DevKit is a WordPress plugin that puts everyday developer tools into wp-admin. Sync a site to staging or live, run WP-CLI in a terminal, manage the database with Adminer, install plugins in bulk and read the error log, without FTP, SSH or cPanel.

Who DevKit is for

  • Freelancers and agencies who maintain many client sites.
  • Developers on hosting without SSH access.
  • Anyone who moves sites between staging and production.

DevKit is not a backup plugin: Sync takes a safety backup before it overwrites a site, but keep your regular backups.

This feature is compatible with every theme or plugin!

UplOAd Multiple themes

Similar to plugins, you can upload both the main theme and its child theme with just a single drag and drop action.

Overwrite themes

You can now work on theme files locally and overwrite them without the need to disable, delete, and upload a new one.

Download theme

Is your theme based on SCSS? You can easily download it, update, compile, and then upload it back with just a few clicks.

If something is not working properly on your website, you can enable error messages without modifying the WordPress configuration file.

  • Hide Dev-kit from plugins list
  • Enable debug
  • Create log file at /wp-content/debug.log
  • Display error messages
  • Enable JS errors
  • Save queries in global $wpdb-queries array.
devkit error log

Read error log

The error log is hidden on the server and its location can vary depending on your server setup. We’ve made it easy for you: there’s no need for FTP setup or wasting time trying to find it. It’s right in your dashboard. And if it becomes too long, you can always hit the ‘clear’ button to reset it.

Never go back to setting up FTP if you have admin access to WordPress; edit files on the fly instead. With files manager you can create, rename, delete, compress and uncompress files and folders. You can upload files and you can write code.

devkit files manager

Having only the left-click option always requires moving the mouse too much to find extra options. With our File Manager, you can access them where your mouse is. Just press right-click, and you will get options to Rename, Delete, Compress, and Uncompress.

devkit files manager right click menu

The same engine powers it as Visual Studio or Scripts Organizer. Editing code on the fly was always a pain because you didn’t have the right tool, and editors were always influenced by a basic notepad experience. You can write in full screen or you can collapse it and see all open files as tabs.

devkit image feature 01

Hide image from non admins

Use the WP Library for asset management.

Some important UI component icons should not be accessible to editors, as they could easily be deleted and negatively affect the user experience. Enabling this feature allows you to hide specific images from the Media Library.

devkit image feature 02

WebP Images

Convert images to WebP format.

You can automatically convert images on upload or convert existing images that are not yet in WebP format.

devkit image feature 03

Resize Images

Save server space by resizing images to a maximum width and height.

You can apply resizing automatically on upload or resize previously uploaded images.

devkit image feature 04

Register Thumbnail sizes

Manage and add custom thumbnail sizes.

The plugin also provides a code snippet so your thumbnail sizes remain available even if you remove DevKit.

devkit image feature 05

Svg

Control SVG uploads by user role.

Decide who can upload SVG files and whether to display them inline or as regular images. The plugin also natively converts image blocks containing SVGs to inline SVGs.

devkit image feature 06

Image URL Redirect

Speed up local development.

When downloading a website for local development, you can skip importing media files and instead load images directly from the live server. This saves time and storage space during setup while still preserving the original preview with all original assets.

No More PHPMYADMIN

The Devkit Database Manager is powered by a much lighter solution.

AdminerEvo is a lightweight, single PHP file solution. It is secure and well-maintained. Even LocalWP has transitioned to this solution, so we feel comfortable doing the same. For this project we decided to make custom Adminer theme.

devkit database

You can whitelist your IP and administrator account to log in automatically whenever you visit the website. This saves time during local development and eliminates the need to remember passwords—especially useful after clearing the cache.

devkit automatic login

Enable maintenance mode with a single click. Choose between our simple built-in template or write your own using custom HTML and CSS.

You can display the maintenance screen for:

  • Selected archives
  • The entire website
  • The homepage
  • Selected pages or posts
devkit maintenance mode

Replace another plugin with DevKit’s built-in search and replace tool. You can search and update your entire database in just a few clicks. A “dry run” mode lets you preview all changes before applying them, ensuring everything looks right before saving.

devkit users 01

Rename username

Fix mistakes WordPress won’t let you.

By default, WordPress doesn’t allow you to rename usernames once they’re created. With DevKit, you can easily change a username anytime—perfect for correcting typos or updating account names without creating a new user.

devkit users 02

Change user roles

Manage roles faster without opening each profile.

A new DevKit feature lets you change user roles directly from the user list. No more editing accounts one by one—simply update roles in bulk or individually right from the overview screen, saving time and clicks.

devkit users 03

Switch to and back

Instantly log in as another user — and return with one click.

This feature lets you temporarily switch to any user account to test permissions or troubleshoot issues. If you switch to a user without admin rights, a floating badge appears, allowing you to easily switch back to your admin account at any time.

Private notes!
Or share with others

Track important changes

Keep notes per client or website.

Easily save your thoughts and notes so you don’t have to remember details for each project. Notes can be private (visible only to you) or shared with other admins and editors to keep everyone aligned.

Simple pricing

One price to use it forever on every website.

Frequently asked questions

Can DevKit copy a site to staging or live?

Yes. Sync moves the database and files between two sites that both run DevKit 3.0 or later. One site issues a connection key, the other pastes it, and you can pull or push; URLs are rewritten and a safety backup is taken first. See Sync.

Can I run WP-CLI without SSH?

Yes. DevKit’s Terminal is a command line inside wp-admin with WP-CLI included. Commands run as the web server’s PHP user, stop after 30 seconds, and are logged with their output. See Terminal.

Can I reset a site to a clean install?

Yes. Reset can clear the database, delete content, empty wp-content folders or remove plugins and themes, and you choose what to keep. The actions can’t be undone, so take a backup first. See WordPress reset.

Is search and replace safe with page builders?

Not fully yet. DevKit’s Search/Replace is not yet fully compatible with page-builder data, and a full version is planned. Until then, use it for plain database text and check builder pages afterwards. See Search/Replace.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If you can’t get DevKit working, DPlugins refunds the full price within 14 days of the original purchase. The conditions are in the terms and conditions.
