In the “Bulk Update All WordPress Sites” feature, in addition to the current options (Themes, Plugins, Core, or All), there should also be an option to run WordPress database updates.
This improvement is important because, after updating certain plugins or WordPress itself, additional database update routines are often required. This commonly occurs with plugins such as Elementor, WooCommerce, and other complex plugins that modify data structures, tables, or indexes.
Currently, when performing bulk updates, some websites may still have pending database updates, meaning the update process is not fully completed from an operational perspective.
Adding an option such as “Update Database”, or including it within the “All” option, would:
Ensure updates are fully completed
Reduce the need for manual intervention site by site
Prevent inconsistencies caused by unexecuted database migrations
Significantly improve efficiency when managing multiple WordPress websites
Additionally, database updates can be executed as the final task for each account, ensuring that all plugin, theme, and core updates are completed before any database migrations are performed.
This approach ensures greater consistency, reduces the risk of errors, and follows the recommended logical order of WordPress update processes.
