			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have gotten to the point where I have multiple WordPress sites, and keeping up on maintenance is getting challenging.  I searched online for some type of WordPress multi-site maintenance program, and this was the only product I found.  It looked promising.  It seemed that it would do what I wanted.</p>
<p>Among other things, WPManager DX claims that it will update all plugins, on all sites, by updating a single site (the master site, I believe).  It also lets you backup the database to all your WordPress sites from within the program, as well as install new sites instantly that have all the themes and plugins you want them to have.  In essence, it is meant to be a huge timesaver for people with multiple WordPress sites.</p>
<p>The product requires an annual cost, which I was not thrilled with.  I&#8217;d rather pay a higher price at one time, rather than pay annual renewal fees.  But, since there was nothing else like this that I could find, I clicked the button to purchase it.</p>
<p>That was the my first problem.</p>
<p>You see, you can&#8217;t simply pay for this product from the product site.  Nope.  You have to jump through hoops.  You CAN&#8217;T purchase WPManager DX from its product site.  Rather, you have to visit a sister site, NicheBloggerDX.com, and purchase THAT product.  Then, you will get WPManager DX as a bonus (but still have to pay the annual fee).  I didn&#8217;t WANT NicheBlogger DX.  I wanted WPManager DX.  The whole process felt sneaky and underhanded to me, but I still went ahead with the purchase.</p>
<p>Which led to my next problem.  It took me a few hours to actually install the product on one of my websites.  Yes, I could have paid them to do this for me, but I really didn&#8217;t want to spend the extra money.  At one point, I even wondered if the product&#8217;s creator purposely did something to force people to use their installation service for WPManager DX.  However, in the end, I did figure things out.  I no longer remember what the problem was, or how I resolved it, so please don&#8217;t ask.  I do remember, though, that I ended up doing something that was not included in the instructions.  I&#8217;m not sure if this means I was making a mistake, or if the instructions were poorly written.</p>
<p>Which led to my final problem.  I couldn&#8217;t figure out how to use it.  Sure, it came with documentation, but it was pretty awful, at least for how to use WPManager DX with existing sites.  I couldn&#8217;t get it to work at all, no matter how many times I read the Instruction Manual.</p>
<p>This product is being promoted as an easy solution, not something that requires a PhD to use.  Mind you, I&#8217;m pretty technically inclined, and using this was beyond my abilities.</p>
<p>I soooo wanted this product to work as advertised.  In the end, though, I wasn&#8217;t actually able to use this product to know how well it does or doesn&#8217;t work.  I will say that I know of a few people who use this product and are very happy with it.  I, unfortunately, am not one of them.</p>
<p>On a positive note, the creator refunded my money within one hour of my credit request, so I was impressed by that.</p>
