Sometimes, you run into a situation where you just need to manually run a script. The actual logic might be as simple as generating a csv from a query, or changing a user’s settings, or even just running a single line of SQL. WordPress makes this difficult.
There are many hacky solutions to the problem, but most of them lack security or are too difficult for anyone but a developer to run or just take too long to build. That’s where we come in.
WP Utility Script Runner lets you start with a simple 17 line template, add in your custom code, save to the server, and in minutes you have a secure, fully featured utility, that you can safely run from the WordPress dashboard.
But that’s not all! With a few extra lines of code, your utility can:
- Accept user input
- Accept file input
- Run at a future date and time
- Run on a recurring schedule
- Run large tasks by breaking them up into several smaller tasks, and saving state.
- Create reports and other output files
This plugin is available for download to be used on your WordPress self-hosted installation.
