What CurbPress Does
CurbPress is a WordPress-native SaaS control plane. It stores tenant registry, settings, domains, license state, and operational metadata in WordPress/MySQL while using per-tenant SQLite databases for isolated tenant application data.
First Setup Path
- Confirm PHP, WordPress, extensions, writable storage, and memory requirements.
- Install the Free or Pro ZIP.
- Open CurbPress from the WordPress admin menu.
- Activate Pro before using custom domains, tenant billing, backups, analytics, plugin/theme controls, and frontend portal features.
- Create a test tenant and confirm the tenant database and route work before inviting users.
Good First Checks
Open Settings for version, admin access, integrity status, and license posture. Open Tenants to create a test tenant. Open Sites to scan custom post types before enabling tenant data sync.
Installation and Requirements
Check WordPress, PHP, PHP extensions, uploads, SQLite storage, and memory before installing CurbPress.
