Sticky "Action / Filter / Unified" Toolbar for Large Management Tables

When managing large numbers of sites in MainWP (50, 100, or more), navigation across long management tables becomes cumbersome because primary action controls are not consistently accessible while scrolling.

On some screens, action buttons appear at the top. On others, they may appear elsewhere. This inconsistency slows down workflows and forces users to repeatedly scroll long distances just to apply actions after reviewing or selecting items.

A unified sticky toolbar/header across management screens would significantly improve usability, consistency, and efficiency.

Suggested Sticky Toolbar Features

  • Bulk action buttons (Update, Ignore, Trust, Save, Apply, etc.)

  • Search and filtering controls

  • Sorting controls

  • Selection count (e.g. “27 items selected”)

  • Select all visible / select all filtered options

  • Context-aware actions depending on the current screen

  • Consistent placement and behavior across MainWP admin areas

Why This Matters

Agency users managing large fleets of WordPress sites regularly work through:

  • Long plugin/theme update lists

  • Bulk maintenance tasks

  • Large tables requiring review before action

  • Multi-step workflows involving filtering, sorting, and selective updates

Currently, users can lose context or waste time scrolling to locate the appropriate action controls, especially when UI placement differs between screens.

A sticky and standardized action toolbar would:

  • Reduce unnecessary scrolling

  • Improve workflow speed

  • Create a more predictable UI experience

  • Reduce the likelihood of mistakes during bulk operations

  • Make MainWP feel more polished and optimized for high-volume management

This would be especially valuable for agencies and power users managing dozens or hundreds of websites daily.
