Elementor Manager – Management and Automation Hub for Elementor Sites

Type: Software Status: Beta Tech Stack: Python 3.13, Flask, Jinja2, MySQL (mysql-connector-python), SQLite, APScheduler, cryptography (Fernet), Anthropic SDK, OpenAI SDK, MCP, BeautifulSoup, python-docx, phpserialize, yt-dlp, requests, Docker Problem Statement Anyone looking after several WordPress websites built with Elementor has to log into each back end for every change and adjust texts, buttons, images or embedded videos page by page. Elementor stores pages as nested JSON trees in the database, which are hard to read, compare or change in bulk without a specialised tool. The standard back end offers no versioning, no reuse of sections and no way to be driven by automations or AI agents. Description Elementor Manager is a self-hosted Flask application that controls one or more WordPress installations directly through their MySQL database — without a WordPress plugin and without the WP REST API. It reads and writes the Elementor JSON trees (_elementor_data in wp_postmeta) and builds on them with CRUD for Elementor pages, blog posts and navigation menus, an element editor, hash-based versioning with snapshots (pull/push/diff), a structure analysis (internal links, images, widget statistics, interactive graph) and a component library that deduplicates reusable sections via structural fingerprints. AI features (Anthropic Claude or OpenAI) fill in content for the page builder, the site kickstarter and document import (DOCX, Google Docs, HTML, text). Scheduled tasks (YouTube latest, search and replace, image/button update, URL fetch, backup) run on APScheduler and are discovered automatically as plugins. Every function is also available through an API-key-protected REST API (/api/v1) and an MCP server with 26 tools for LLM agents; secrets are stored with Fernet encryption, and login as well as CSRF and SSRF protection are built in. The feature set is broad, whereas test coverage (12 tests with a security focus) and production operation (Flask development server, no CI) are still at beta level. Use Case A central console that lets agencies and professionals maintain, version, fill with AI-generated content and automatically update many WordPress/Elementor pages at once — including under the control of AI agents or n8n workflows.
