How to bulk Update All WordPress Components using cPFence Tools?

Knowledgebase

Bulk Update WordPress (WebUI Method)

Log into the cPFence WebUI and choose the server you want to patch with the Switch Server selector in the sidebar.
Navigate to Tools & Utilities ➜ WP-AutoShield Bulk Tools.
If you need to limit the rollout, enable Run on specific WordPress sites only and pick the target sites, otherwise leave it unchecked to cover every detected install on that server.
Open Bulk Update All WordPress Sites from the Manage Updates & Cron card.
Use the Component dropdown to pick core, plugins, themes, translations, or all, then click Run Bulk Update.
Watch the live output window for completion and resolve any failures before closing the screen.

This UI workflow mirrors the CLI flag and gives you the option to test on a subset of sites before running it cluster-wide.

SSH into the server that hosts the WordPress sites you want to update.
Run the bulk update with your desired scope (replace all if you only want specific components):
```
cpfence --bulk-auto-update-all-sites all
```
Review the CLI output for any sites that failed to update and rerun with a narrower scope if required.

Combine this with cpfence --generate-wp-sites-list before large rollouts so the inventory used by the updater is current.
