This is an addendum to my prior review.
As a web designer since 2000 I have dealt with a lot of customer service nightmares. Some are due to language barriers, some are due to the company simply offering customer service as a second though and some are due to incompetence.
Module Gardens customer service is all three. It is easily the worst customer service that I have ever encountered.
I will give you a brief description of my CURRENT issue, this is not addressing the issues that have been ongoing since the inception of this plugin, this is just my current issue.
We changed from cPanel to Direct Admin on July 23rd. After the switch I decided that I would PAY modules Garden ($49) to reinstall their Wordpress module for me since I was already dealing with a learning curve from moving to DirectAdmin.
As of this writing, 8-17-20 we still do not have a working product. I am not going to spend the time listing the countless times we have had to try to get them to fix all of the errors and set the cron so that the module works because it's well over a dozen times.
The person who replies to this from Module Gardens is going to tell you that we did not give them full server access. We Did. In fact, we have given them access on three different occasions. Once when we signed up (through their password dropdown) Next in the body of our ticket and finally we replied to the ticket and let a copy of our credential 150 times so that we were sure they could not miss it for the third time.
My review above from 8 months ago was harsh because we had a similar problem with them. The company apologized, gave us half price on the product and installed it correctly. We altered our review at their request.
It is apparent that that bad experience was not the exception, but it is the rule with ModulesGarden.
DO NOT GET THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO HAVE PROBLEMS AT EVERY SERVER CHANGE, AND FOR IT TO NOT DO ALL OF THE FEATURES THAT IT CLAIMS IT WILL DO.
I have documentation of everything I have said, and sooooo much more.

This is such a unique and awesome module for WHMCS if your business is WordPress focused.
John Cook @john5199
It has some nice features but isn't a complete product. It has a major design flaw that makes it unworkable in one situation. If wordpress is configured to install on hosting account module creation it doesn't include a username or password, and those details are then missing from the email.
Support hasn't been spectacular either. The entire free trial was wasted waiting for a reply, so it has now cost them a $100 a year sale.
A disappointing experience and result as I genuinely like another product of theirs I'm using
Aubrey Clark @aubrey4662
This plugin is amazing, there's nothing better on the WHMCS marketplace. They do have some work to do on their customer service, at least the person who was helping me. After my initial customer service experience, a supervisor got evolved and properly addressed our issue. I look forward to using other Modules Garden modules in the future.
Waranugraha @waranugraha6026
Im very interested with this module, is there any free trial to try implemented this module on my web hosting?
maazouz @maazouz5247
Hi,
I am looking for a module to create wordpress themes for my customers and make them available the essential plugins, is this one going to help me do that? and can you please provide me more photos to see closer how to do that.
thanks a lot for your response
Dominika Sondej @dominika7563
You have definitely come to the right place! With WordPress Manager For WHMCS you can create fully customizable instance images and let customers add WordPress installations using these very images of WordPress.
Formerly@ModulesGardenYou are most welcome to consult the module’s documentation which explains through both written instructions and screenshots how to do that: https://www.docs.modulesgarden.com/WordPress_Manager_For_WHMCS#Instance_Images
If you still have further questions about the module’s tools, we will love to have a chat with you via a ticket: https://www.modulesgarden.com/support/ticket/product-presales
Ashley Russell @ashley7058
Great product and great support. Highly recommended.
Savas OÜ @savasnetwork
We are using WordPress Manager for nearly 6 months. I can easily say that this is one of the most innovative plugin for WHMCS. Providing an user interface for developers and marketing companies to control multiple WordPress installations with one control panel is a powerful feature for web hosting business.
Kevin Lengele @kevin7085
I have had no luck with ModuelGardens WordPress Manager or really any of their plugins. I would love that they really spend some time on WordPress Manger as it could be really useful. We have had lots of problems with WordPress Manager detecting WP installs. So far its junk and so is their support. I would not recommend this plugin or any of their plugins.
To be honest I think most of these reviews are not real reviews and have not even used their software.
Joanna Byjoś @JoannaModulesGarden
As explained via ticket, problems may occur if you keep using the module in a version that is not compatible with your version of WHMCS. However, according to your feedback shared with the WHMCS community, all encountered issues have already been successfully disposed of with the help of our team.

Not support Plesk.
Joanna Byjoś @JoannaModulesGarden
Plesk integration has already been included in our official development schedule, and as such can be expected in the next module's updates.
Owner@ModulesGardenTaylor George @taylor3908
Absolutely essential for so many reasons. I use this actually not for clients, but for my developers. I give them access to create those wordpress dev urls via this panel. Really great option to have inside of WHMCS.
Charles Hoagland @charles8203
WordPress Manager for WHMCS is the tool we have been looking for. One of our favorites from MG. And we have quite of few of their products. Thanks Guy!
James Allsup @james2712
WP Manager is excellent, we encourage our users to interact from our site instead of logging directly into cpanel and this really fits the bill. We have several products from Modules Garden and all are great - most also compliment each other in some ways too. Although WP is becoming more embedded with cpanel/whm and is available through the standard typical script installers - nothing offers a standard this high.
raviv Golov @ravvv
Very bad support,
Code encrypted and hooks not responding,
Not recommended at all.
Joanna Byjoś @JoannaModulesGarden
The module's code is encrypted because you have yourself purchased the license of WordPress Manager For WHMCS, and not its open source version. If you would like to gain access to the complete source code, you are always welcome to request the upgrade, whereby your license is switched into the lifetime-valid open source version of a module.
Owner@ModulesGardenNicholas Sansom @Root-Layer-Technologies
The WordPress Manager for WHMCS, created and developed by the #1 Modules company "ModulesGarden" is just fantastic, it has been really efficient and also provided our support team with new ways to provide quick turn around support to our customers.
This module is highly recommended and I can't wait to see what other features are added in future versions.
