We're thrilled to announce SnipVault 1.1.10, featuring the game-changing Remote Sites capability that transforms SnipVault into a centralised management hub for all your WordPress sites.
Remote Sites: Manage Everything from Anywhere
This is the feature you've been waiting for. SnipVault can now connect to and manage multiple remote WordPress sites from a single dashboard. Install SnipVault on any of your sites, configure your remote connections, and suddenly you have complete control over snippets, error logs, and all SnipVault features across your entire WordPress portfolio.
Here's what this means for you:
Centralized Snippet Management - View, edit, create, and organize snippets across all your sites without logging into each one individually
Unified Error Monitoring - Monitor PHP error logs from all your sites in one place
Cross-Site Operations - Manage settings, folders, and features for any connected site
Instant Site Switching - A sleek dropdown selector with search and site favicons lets you switch between sites instantly
Simply configure your remote sites with a URL and application password in the new Remote Sites settings section, and you're ready to manage your entire WordPress network from wherever you want. Whether you're managing client sites, a network of your own properties, or an agency portfolio, Remote Sites makes multi-site snippet management effortless.
Completely Redesigned Settings
The settings page has been rebuilt from the ground up with organization and usability in mind. A clean left navigation sidebar now organizes settings into logical sections: License, AI & Claude, Security, Features, Editor, PHP Configuration, Remote Sites, and Danger Zone.
Finding what you need is instant thanks to the new search functionality that filters settings sections as you type. It's a modern, intuitive interface that scales beautifully as SnipVault's feature set continues to grow.
Rock-Solid WP-CLI Interface
We've completely refactored the WP-CLI interface for maximum reliability across different hosting environments. The new implementation uses a dedicated REST API endpoint instead of admin-ajax, with comprehensive error handling, timeout protection, and improved path detection.
Key improvements include:
Proper success/failure detection that actually works
Timeout protection for long-running commands (5-minute limit)
Better error messages with debugging information
MySQL client tools detection for database commands
Compatibility fixes for shared hosting with open_basedir restrictions
Graceful handling of disabled PHP functions like putenv()
Reduced memory limits to prevent server overload
Enhanced path detection with fallback to bundled wp-cli.phar
The WP-CLI interface now works reliably on challenging hosting environments like InstaWP and shared hosting providers with strict security configurations.
Improved Snippet Organization
Fixed a race condition that could cause snippets to end up in the wrong folders on slow connections. Snippets now wait for folders to load completely before processing folder assignments, with safeguards to prevent filtering from running prematurely. Your snippet hierarchy now displays correctly every time, regardless of connection speed.
Update now to unlock Remote Sites and transform how you manage snippets across your WordPress portfolio. This is a major milestone for SnipVault, and we can't wait to hear how it streamlines your workflow.

We're excited to release SnipVault 1.0.21 with powerful new organization tools, security features, and enhanced AI model selection.
Organize with Tags
You can now tag your snippets for better organization and discovery. The new tag system includes a streamlined token input field right in the snippet editor where you can create, assign, and remove tags instantly. Start typing to search existing tags or create new ones on the fly. Remove tags with a simple backspace. It's a fast, intuitive way to keep your snippet library organized as it grows.
Enhanced Security Options
We've added two new security features to give you complete control over who can access SnipVault:
Password Protection - Set a password in settings to require authentication before anyone can access SnipVault. The password unlock modal appears when the plugin loads, and protection persists throughout the browser session. Passwords are securely hashed using SHA-256 before storage, keeping your snippets safe.
Restricted User Access - Need to limit SnipVault to a single user? You can now restrict access to just one administrator. When enabled, the menu item is hidden for everyone else, REST API endpoints are protected, and direct page access is blocked. Perfect for agencies or multi-user sites where you want tight control over snippet management.
Choose Your Claude Model
You now have full control over which Anthropic Claude model powers SnipVault's AI features. Select from the available models in settings, with the model list dynamically fetched from Anthropic's official API. The list automatically updates when you add or change your API key, and there's a manual refresh button to reload available models anytime. SnipVault intelligently falls back to your saved model if the API fetch fails.
File Browser Sorting
The file browser now supports comprehensive sorting options. Sort your files by name, date modified, file size, or file type, with the ability to toggle between ascending and descending order. The sorting UI matches the snippets list component for a consistent experience throughout SnipVault.
Additional Improvements
Defer Attribute for Modules - JavaScript module snippets now support the defer attribute, giving you more control over script loading behavior.
Dark Mode Fixes - Dropdown selects now display properly in dark mode with appropriate background and text colors, especially in Firefox where readability was previously an issue.
Update now to take advantage of these new organization and security features. As always, we recommend testing on a staging site first.
