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:
<ul>
<li>Accept user input</li>
<li>Accept file input</li>
<li>Run at a future date and time</li>
<li>Run on a recurring schedule</li>
<li>Run large tasks by breaking them up into several smaller tasks, and saving state.</li>
<li>Create reports and other output files</li>
</ul>

WP Utility Script Runner

Create custom scripts and manage them directly from the WordPress Dashboard. Schedule scripts, handle user input, download reports, and more.
