First of all, a very Happy New Year to our InstaWP community 
We’re kicking off 2025 with the release of InstaWP version 2.51.0, which brings a host of exciting new features and important enhancements aimed at making your WordPress management experience even more intuitive and flexible.
From seamless plan upgrades to advanced site management, this update is all about enhancing your ability to manage and scale your WordPress projects efficiently. Let’s dive into the details of what’s new and improved.
What’s New in InstaWP v2.51.0?
#1. Advanced User Role Management
For demo sites created via Shared Templates, you now have the ability to change user roles for login via magic login link, providing greater control over your team’s access and capabilities.
Assign magic login roles for Shared Templates in InstaWP. What does this mean? You have full control over users’ privileges on staging sites.
- Tailored experiences: Perfect for product demos or client previews.
- Secure access: Users log in through a unique, safe link—no passwords needed.
- Simplified management: Control exactly what users can see and do.
Think of it as handing over the keys to a custom-made space. They can explore, but only where you allow. Simple, secure, and effective.
#2. Direct Advanced Site Management
Add new Managed sites as Advanced Managed Sites right at the time of creation for quicker setup and enhanced management capabilities.
#3. Enhanced Plan Upgrades
Previously, signing up for trials was a long process for users. Not anymore!
You can now upgrade to any paid plan and enjoy a 15-day free trial directly through our intuitive popup paywalls, making it easier to explore advanced features without immediate commitments.
Improvements in v2.51.0 for a Streamlined Experience
- Plan Information Display: The name of the current plan is now displayed next to hosted site names for easy identification.
- WaaS Demo Site’s Expiry Time: We’ve improved the visibility of expiry times for WaaS demo sites. Now, WaaS prospects can see the expiry date immediately when creating a demo site, if the WaaS developer has enabled this feature. This ensures that both developers and their prospects are aware of the available time for site evaluation before finalizing the setup, making site management more transparent and efficient.
- Country Name Display: Server locations are now displayed as full country names instead of aliases, enhancing clarity.
- Enhanced Documentation: Added examples to our Public API documentation to help you utilize our APIs more effectively.
- Update and Compatibility Warnings: Warning messages will now appear if your plugin is not on the latest version or if there is a PHP version mismatch during migration, ensuring compatibility and security.
Key Fixes in v2.51.0
- Unified Credits Display: Credits shown in the team dropdown and credits page are now synchronized.
- Mobile Accessibility: The team dropdown has been added to mobile screens, enhancing usability on the go.
- Template and Site Management Fixes: Various bugs related to site and template management have been resolved, including issues with staging site additions and template monetization.
