    +1 I believe this is an existing feature in Plesk from where cPanel ported the WP manager so this would be quite useful to have it here as well.

    I've reached out to the powers-that-be to see what we've got cooking in the future...I'll let you know!

    Alright - at this time there isn't such a change planned to the WHM-level so it would be best to submit a feature request using the link in my signature.

    What about adding wp-cron.php to sort/filter so admin can easily identify which accounts have native WP-cron disabled and which ones that do not. That would be useful too.

    Are you saying that should be a global tool as well? If so, that's another feature request.

    I'm not saying it should because not EVERYONE will find it useful but I bet the majority of cPanel customers will find it useful. I already asked Softaculous and they said they are going to add the things I mentioned as it makes sense. And Softaculous add things quickly when requested. Why should an admin set up a new server and import 40-100 WordPress sites onto the server and have to be going around in WHM/cPanel accounts at different locations to enable/disable wp-config.php or enabling/disabling automatic updates for plugins and themes or CMS cores!? Easy to do with mass update buttons. I won't bother with feature requests because they can sit there for several years. Hopefully, enough customers request it, and cPanel will add it at some point.
