Ability to assign automatic updating rules and schedules per-site
With many sites, it’s just not appropriate to have one single global schedule and automatically update everything in the same way. I have some sites where I want absolutely everything automatically updated right away. And some sites that are more temperamental that I want to update manually almost entirely. I may want certain plugins or themes or WP automatically updated on some sites and not others. So it isn’t a matter of simply marking a plugin as trusted, because I still want to only auto-update it selectively. Use cases: For dev, staging, blueprint sites: update absolutely everything automatically right away. For basic care plans (mostly automated care): update most things automatically. For higher level plans: update only core plugins like MainWP itself and backup and security tools automatically, everything else is manual. For highest level plans: almost no automatic updates except maybe security tools. I need to be able to check them in real time. The only way I can do this sort of thing is to not use MainWP for anything automatic at all, and just use WordPress itself to set some plugins on automatic. This is not ideal because eventually I need MainWP to do things like run backups beforehand and even run tests afterward to check if it was successful (if that’s possible). Individual site rules, or even rules based on tags or other filters, would be most useful!

WP Time Capsule
Hi, It would be nice the ability to have WP Time Capsule automatically installed (and configured) on adding a new site to the MainWP dashboard. (just like WordFence and Updraft etc already have).

Time tracker plugin - Insert new task
I'm using the time tracker plugin, but I can't do what I want. With my clients, I stipulate hour packages, which remain active until they are exhausted (not necessarily within the year) and I cannot find a setting to remove an expiration from the indicated hours. Furthermore, interventions can be carried out and then inserted later, but I cannot select or change the date and time of the interventions. How can I solve it? For me it is very important because then the report must have the correct data.

Get Data from Child sites
I think it would be really useful to have a universal get data from child sites, with hooks and flters to tell it which information we want within our dashboard, this would make including things in child sites pro reports so much easier as we could, basically apply a snippet to pull some information from the database and then filter it into the sync on next sync that data would be “available” for us to manipulate within the dashboard to create pro-report tokens it means we could get analytic data easier from plugins with no extensions, security plugins anything that reports really…… jus have really good documents and some “recipes” even a community recipe area to show how to do this. If this needs to be a dedicated extension or an improvement of the child site plugin I will let you decide but I think this could be really cool and quite unique

It still takes too long time to add a site. It should just be a COPY (site) + PASTE (dashboard). Max 2 secs........ Some of your competitors have this easy setup. And of ourse the COPY-PASTE stuff must include all data: user, password, unique string, etc.

Team Control - Select by Client
On the Role / Manage Permissions Screen - /wp-admin/admin.php?page=Extensions-Mainwp-Team-Control&tab=roles I am aware I can Select by Website or by Group - I'd like to select by client as in my use case, I am supporting agencies and need to assign the sites to the agency. The issue with select by Group (Tag) is 1) It duplicates as assigning to client 2) I have found I have to assign the tags on a site by site bases as otherwise using the filters when assigning the tags it unselects sites. Thanks

Extension to locate pages/posts where an extension is used
Quite often a client site has a damaged or unsupported plugin in use and it needs replacing. The last time I had this was where a client had paid for a premium version of a PDF embedding plugin and they had let the licence expire and no longer wanted to pay for embedding a PDF. So the task was to find all pages and posts where that plugin has been used and install a free PDF Embeder plugin. But finding the pages/post where it is used is a pain but it's easy enough using a SQL search ( SELECT guid, post_title FROM wp_posts WHERE post_content LIKE '%[shortcode_name%'; ) but it would be great to be able to do this from the MainWP Dashboard and maybe generate a client report for it.

Extend REST API to Include Custom Fields for Clients
I would like to request an enhancement to the MainWP REST API v2 to include the ability to access custom fields for clients.Specifically, this could be implemented by:Extending existing endpoints such as /clients/{{clientidor_email}}/edit/, /add/, and /get/ to also return the custom fields defined for clients.Alternatively, creating a dedicated API endpoint that focuses on retrieving and managing custom fields for clients.This extension would significantly improve the flexibility of the MainWP API and allow for seamless integration of client-specific data into automated workflows.

Add new pro reports token: `[ga.visits.chart.url]`
I noticed an issue with the [ga.visits.chart] token. I want to use it in my report, but if the PDF is generated, it looks slightly shifted to the right because you render an image element with the chart and put padding on the image element itself. That's really wonky as images are replaced elements and it' not intended for images to put padding on the element itself. But I have my own use case where I want to display that chart and it's not working as I want. Could you please add another token, namely, e.g., [ga.visits.chart.url] which just renders the image url instead of the HTML chunk, which I have no control over? Thank you in advance :)

Scheduling auto-updates of groups (tags) of sites on different days
It would be ideal if we could schedule auto-updates of sites depending on the tag or group of sites.I believe that a single update schedule for all plugins at the same time is insufficient.For example:Monday tag. It would be updated on Mondays at 6.00 AM.Tuesday tag. It would be updated on Tuesday at 6.00 AM.etc

User Language Selection and Temporary Login Creation in MainWP Dashboard
Hello everyone,I have two quick suggestions to improve the MainWP Dashboard:User Language Option: When creating a new user, allow setting their language directly from the dashboard.Temporary Login Creation: Add a feature to generate temporary login links without passwords, similar to the "Temporary Login Without Password" plugin.These features would greatly enhance site management and user access. Thanks for considering!Best,Kevin

Unfortunately, it is currently only possible to reject "non-MainWP changes" or to clean up "ALL".It would be very useful if you could also accept these, leave them in the list and clean up individual ones.Then you could also track them later.

Select multiple items in dashboard using Shift key
Hi team, hope this can be of help! Something I have found that really slows me down.Issue I am facingThe task I perform most often on MainWP is to run updates across many websites and not being able to use the shift key to mark multiple checkboxes at once really slows things down.StepsI go into the ‘Plugin Updates’ area, review the list of outstanding updates and then select those updates on the list I want to run via their checkboxes. There are always some I have to leave for later when I have time to properly back up and test on the respective websites, so I need to select batches of 10 or 20, leave a few, then select another batch etc. But I can unfortunately only select one at a time at the moment.Why this is importantThis is a near-daily task for me and having to individually select every checkbox I want really slows things down. I am adding more and more sites into MainWP and little things like this can make a big difference to efficiency…plus it’s just very boring selecting so many items one at a time!How to solveHolding shift down is a standard keyboard shortcut to save time that works across many major websites and operating system interfaces where long lists of checkboxes are present: you select one item on the list, then hold down the shift key on the keyboard, and then select another item further down…and then all items in between get checked automatically,Maybe there is already some functionality that can do this, in which case I would love to know it! But even so, this is a pretty common keyboard command so it would be great to see this implemented in a future update. It would genuinely save me hours across a few months. 🙏😃

Hi. It would be nice to have a free and open source alternative in AUM. Uptime (https://upptime.js.org/) looks like a nice alternative to Uptime robot free tier. It's possible to access the data via an API. And it has a cool badges feature.
