Syde Announces Sale of BackWPup, Adminimize, and Search & Replace

We are excited to share an important update with our valued customers and partners. Syde has successfully concluded the sale of our renowned BackWPup, Adminimize, and Search & Replace plugins to group.one.

Thanks to their dedication, commitment, and well-established WordPress ecosystem, we are confident our customers are in great hands going forward. These plugins will join a reputable lineup alongside acclaimed products such as WP Rocket, Imagify, and Rank Math SEO. We believe group.one is now the best home for these products.

While bidding farewell to these valued WordPress plugins brings a mix of emotions, we are confident that this strategic decision will allow us to focus our expertise on helping clients with exciting opportunities for growth and innovation.

How they function

BackWPup has been integral to Syde’s product portfolio, revolutionizing the industry with its outstanding popularity, features, and functionality. It has a large active user base and was developed in 2010, by Syder Daniel Hüsken, from the need for a reliable backup plugin.

Adminimize lets you hide unnecessary items or changes the administration backend, gives the power to assign rights to certain parts, perfect for companies that want an easy backend and reduce noise or features that users don’t need. 

Search & Replace lets you search for and replace anything with everything while simultaneously easily creating and restoring a simple database backup.

“We look forward to further developing BackWPup, along with Adminimize and Search & Replace, delivering even greater value to customers. This acquisition strengthens our commitment to the WordPress community.”

Daniel Hagemeier, CEO of group.one
