For agencies and freelancers who maintain WordPress
Flux copies a client’s live site to a private preview on your machine, makes the change you describe, and publishes only what you reviewed. Old theme, forty plugins, page builder and all.

The inherited site
The developer who built it left years ago. It runs a marketplace theme, forty plugins and a page builder three layers deep. The client wants one small change, and everyone knows small changes are how the checkout breaks.
01
AI code editors start from a git repository. This site is a live server and a database, and it’s the only copy.
02
The staging copy is months behind production, so testing there proves very little.
03
Plugin updates run on the live site at 4pm on a Friday because there’s nowhere else to run them.
04
The content lives inside page builder data, not in template files anyone can read.
How it works
Flux never experiments on the live site. It works on a private copy, and the only way back to the client’s site is a review you sign off.
01
Choose your Cloudways application, add the host’s SSH login, or evaluate Flux Connector’s one-time pairing in the pilot. Flux reads the theme and plugins before you start editing. Credentials stay in your operating system’s credential manager.
Connection
Read-only until a preview exists
02
Flux copies the files and database into a private preview on your machine, running in Docker on the site’s own PHP version. Hosting credentials and caches stay behind. Big sites are fine: IPR Medical’s is 4.2 GB of files and a 589 MB database.
Local preview
127.0.0.1 · matching PHP · URLs rewritten
03
Describe the change in plain English. Flux can edit theme files, Elementor and WPBakery pages, WooCommerce catalog data, Slider Revolution slides, Formidable forms, pages and menus in the preview. You approve each edit; Flux snapshots before writing and reads the result back.

The shipping banner on the cart page is out of date. Change it to free shipping over $500.
04
Pick the changes to ship. Flux shows the diff, checks the live site hasn’t changed since the copy, writes only your selection, reads it back, and keeps a record so you can revert.

Flux Connector
Connect through a small WordPress plugin. On compatible hosts, Flux can create a local preview and publish supported changes over HTTPS without SSH access.
Your connector credential stays in your operating system’s credential manager. Replace it with a fresh pairing code, or revoke desktop access from WordPress.
Ask about the connector in the agency pilot. Host validation and release review are ongoing.
During assisted setup, activate Flux Connector on the site you want to work on.
Create a code in WordPress and enter it in Flux on Windows or Mac. Pairing runs over HTTPS.
Flux reports the theme, plugins and host permissions so you know which preview and publishing operations are available.
What agencies use it for
Prove the update on the copy, then apply the exact rehearsed build with one reviewed click.
“Rehearse the latest WooCommerce update, and if it is safe, apply it to the live site.”
Find a supported classic section, change it in place, and keep the theme’s own styles. Test new Atomic pages only on a compatible pilot setup.
“On the Service page, replace the second testimonial with the new one from Dr. Patel and tighten the heading.”
Create standard WordPress pages and add them to an existing classic menu as one reviewed change.
“Create a Veterinary page and add it to the main menu after Shop.”
Inspect the store and safely change existing catalog, inventory, order workflow and coupon data through WooCommerce itself.
“Update the price and stock for the 1.5 HP pump, then show me exactly what would publish.”
Keep customer-facing Formidable forms and Slider Revolution campaigns current without hand-editing plugin data.
“Update the quote form labels and replace the fall campaign slide image and link.”
Ask why a page is slow, what a plugin does, or where a piece of text comes from. Before a preview exists, Flux can read but can’t write.
“Where does the “Request a quote” form on product pages come from, and what happens when someone submits it?”
Flux finds the staging app for a site and syncs code or tables when you approve it, with a platform backup enabled by default.
“Push the approved changes from staging to production and verify the homepage afterwards.”
Inspect and edit WPBakery rows, columns and elements without regex surgery on shortcodes.
“Swap the hero image on the About page and update the intro paragraph.”
Plugin-aware WordPress
A preview is more useful when the editor understands how the site is built. Flux uses bounded bridges for the plugins agencies encounter every day, then sends every edit through the same review and publish workflow.
Store operations
Update existing products and variations, including prices and stock. Review orders, customers and store reports, then prepare supported order or coupon changes for approval.
Classic supported · Atomic pilot
Find and edit supported headings, text, buttons, images and sections in existing classic pages. Reuse the site’s saved sections and review the rendered result before publishing.
Structured page editing
Edit rows, columns and supported content elements as page structure. Update a section or rebuild it while keeping the surrounding layout and unknown theme add-ons intact.
Slider Revolution 6.x
Update slide copy, existing links, images and backgrounds. Show or hide slides, duplicate a slide or change their order, then review the page containing the slider.
Form presentation
Update names, descriptions, field labels and help text in existing forms. Change which fields are required, their defaults and placeholders, or the choices visitors can select.
Built for agency teams
Bring your teammates into one workspace, share the plan and keep control of usage. Each person works in their own local preview and reviews the changes they publish.

Agency plan terms. Access is currently through the assisted pilot.
Give each person their own sign-in. Manage invitations and membership from your team dashboard.
Keep the agency’s connected sites under one plan. Remove a finished site to free a slot without deleting the website.
Use shared billing and a shared hosted-AI balance, with monthly hosted-AI caps for individual members. Your own provider keys remain an option.
Previews stay on each teammate’s computer. Coordinate overlapping changes to the same site; live co-editing and shared publishing coordination are on the roadmap.
AI without lock-in
Bring the provider account your agency already uses and pay it directly, with no token markup from Flux. Eligible paid plans also offer hosted AI through your Flux balance.
Guided setup
Choose the site work you want to do, connect your AI provider and leave model selection on Auto. Setup saves your progress, so you can return when your site credentials or provider account are ready.
Choose Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenRouter. Flux verifies the key with a minimal live request, then stores it in your operating system keychain.
No model setup required
Flux chooses a compatible model from your connected provider. You can adjust models, budgets and routing later in Settings.
No model setup required
The AI Connection Doctor checks saved credentials, tests provider access, and shows routing, spend and savings. It explains common key, billing and connection problems.
No model setup required
Safety, in writing
Agencies get burned by tools that promise too much. Here’s exactly where the lines are.

Customer story
IPR Medical sells new and refurbished IV pumps to hospitals and vet clinics through a WooCommerce store on Cloudways. It was too big for the first version of Flux, so we rebuilt how Flux copies large sites around it.
Read the storyHow it fits
A strong choice when a repository is the source of truth. Flux is aimed at a different shape of work: a running WordPress installation whose behavior also lives in its database, page-builder data, plugins and hosting environment.
Excellent for server-level testing and a familiar choice for agency teams. Flux adds a private local preview and a change-level review. Its Cloudways integration can also inspect and run explicitly approved staging operations when the required API access is available.
Convenient for supported content and layout work inside that builder. Flux is designed for maintenance jobs that may cross the theme, plugins, menus, WooCommerce data and supported builder structures in one reviewed workflow.
Pricing
Every plan includes the full preview and publish workflow. Plans differ by how many client sites you connect and who else on your team uses Flux.

Bring it to the assisted agency pilot. We will validate the setup, complete the first reviewed change with you, then test whether your team can repeat the workflow independently.
