I’ve been using MainWP and the Pro Reports extension to manage and report on multiple client websites. While the core functionality of the plugin is outstanding, the reporting system falls short when dealing with high-tier clients or those subject to rigorous external audits.
I would like to raise two critical points that currently limit the value of these reports:
High-end clients often have their sites audited by external cybersecurity or IT compliance teams. They don't just need to know that an update happened; they need comprehensive, detailed logs of the service provided. The current reporting depth feels too basic for these requirements, forcing us to manually supplement the data to prove the thoroughness of our maintenance and security cycles.
From a visual and brand perspective, presentation is everything. Currently, the generated PDFs suffer from severe pagination issues, such as text overlapping, awkward page breaks, and cut-offs in tables or logs. This look highly unprofessional when delivered to a corporate client and dilutes the perceived quality of our agency's work.
MainWP is an incredible tool, but the reporting feature needs to evolve to match enterprise standards. We need:
More granular data options for security, performance, and maintenance logs.
A robust PDF rendering engine (or better CSS/page-break control within the templates) to prevent layout breakages.
Is anyone else facing these limitations with demanding clients? I’d love to know if the team has plans to revamp the Pro Reports layout engine and data depth anytime soon.
Thanks!
