What is UpdraftCentral?
UpdraftCentral is a powerful and flexible admin panel that allows you to access all your websites with a single click and efficiently manage them from a single dashboard.
What does it require to run?
The website being controlled must have all of the following:
• WordPress 3.2 (July 2011) or later. There are no further version PHP/MySQL requirements.
• UpdraftPlus version 1.12.2 (free version) / 2.12.2 (paid versions) or later installed and active
• No active security modules (whether a WordPress plugin, or webserver component) that block traffic based on unusual patterns. Encrypted traffic from a remote control plugin is likely to be blocked, as it looks very different to regular website visits from a web browser. We have tested with the most popular WordPress plugins, and these are all not a problem in all the configurations we have tested.
The website that is running the dashboard (i.e. this plugin, UpdraftCentral) must have:
• WordPress 4.0 (Sep 2014) or later
• PHP 5.3 or later
The web browser that you visit the UpdraftCentral dashboard from must be modern, and must not have been end-of-lifed by its maker. Specifically, Internet Explorer 8 is not supported. UpdraftCentral is built using modern JavaScript technologies.

UpdraftCentral install is different to free and Cloud version as it is a self-install option. If you want to run and self-install UpdraftCentral as a plugin, rather than as SaaS, this below video shows you how to do this, and also show you how to add a new site.
