Digitizer

Digitizer Site Worker for Aura is a lightweight WordPress plugin that enables remote site management through the Aura dashboard. It provides secure REST API endpoints for:
<ul>
<li>Site Health Status – WordPress version, PHP version, plugins, themes, database info, disk usage</li>
<li>Plugin Updates – Update individual plugins remotely</li>
<li>Theme Updates – Update themes remotely</li>
<li>Core Updates – Update WordPress core remotely</li>
<li>Translation Updates – Bulk update all translations</li>
<li>Database Updates – Run WordPress core database upgrades and plugin-specific migrations (Elementor, WooCommerce, Crocoblock)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Security</h4>
Three layers of authentication protect all API endpoints:

<li>WordPress Application Password – Standard WordPress REST API authentication</li>
<li>Aura Site Token – Unique token verified via X-Aura-Token header</li>
<li>IP Whitelist – Optional IP restriction for additional security</li>
<li>Domain Whitelist – Optional origin domain restriction</li>
</ol>
<h4>External Service</h4>
This plugin connects to the <a href="https://my-aura.app/" rel="nofollow ugc">Aura dashboard</a> to enable remote site management. 
When connected, the Aura dashboard sends authenticated REST API requests to your site to check health status and perform updates. 
The plugin itself does not send data outbound — it only responds to authenticated incoming requests.
