Discovery
Migrating your portfolio to BlockForge shouldn't take days. Bulk Import lets you add dozens or hundreds of WordPress sites in a single operation. Provide a list of URLs, and BlockForge handles the rest — connection testing, plugin installation, health checks, and initial baseline creation. Your entire portfolio, onboarded in minutes.
The Challenge
Manually adding sites means clicking through setup wizards 50+ times. Enter the URL, configure connection settings, install the connector plugin, run the initial sync, verify the connection — then start over for the next site. At 5 minutes per site, onboarding 50 sites consumes an entire workday. That's a day your team could spend on actual client work.
Copy-pasting URLs and credentials one by one leads to mistakes. A missing trailing slash, a typo in a subdomain, or an accidentally duplicated entry — manual data entry at scale is a breeding ground for errors. And each mistake requires investigation time: is the site actually down, or did someone just mistype the URL during setup?
You add sites and hope they're configured correctly — no automated verification. Did the plugin install successfully? Is the REST API endpoint reachable? Can BlockForge actually communicate with the site? Without automated validation during onboarding, you discover configuration problems days later when a backup fails or an update doesn't apply.
How It Works
Provide a list of WordPress site URLs — paste them directly, upload a text file, or import from a CSV. BlockForge processes them in parallel: testing the connection, verifying WordPress is running, installing the BlockForge connector plugin automatically, running an initial health check, and creating a baseline snapshot. You watch the progress in real time, with clear status indicators for every site. Failed connections are flagged immediately with actionable error details, so you can fix issues on the spot.

Capabilities
Add 5, 50, or 500 WordPress sites in a single operation. Paste URLs directly into the import field, upload a text file with one URL per line, or combine with CSV Import for rich metadata. No per-site wizard, no repeated clicks — just one operation that handles everything.
Every site is tested before it's added. BlockForge verifies DNS resolution, checks HTTPS connectivity, validates that WordPress is running, and confirms the REST API is reachable. Failed connections are flagged with specific error messages so you can resolve issues immediately — not discover them weeks later.
The BlockForge connector plugin is installed and activated automatically on each site during the import process. No manual WordPress admin logins, no FTP uploads, no plugin zip downloads. One-click installation across all imported sites using the WordPress REST API for secure, authenticated deployments.
After the connector is installed, BlockForge runs an initial health check on every imported site. WordPress version, PHP version, active plugins, theme details, database size, and disk usage are all collected. You start managing with full visibility from day one — no gradual data collection, no waiting for the first scheduled sync.
BlockForge processes multiple sites simultaneously using configurable parallel workers. While one site is being health-checked, another is getting its plugin installed, and a third is being connection-tested. This parallelism turns what would be an hour-long serial process into a few minutes of automated work.
Every bulk import generates a detailed report. See which sites were successfully added, which failed and why, how long each step took, and what health issues were discovered during initial checks. Download the report as a reference, share it with your team, or use it to track down connection problems.
