MainWP Roadmap

Hide My WP Ghost work plugin tech support response:"Seems that for your website, MainWP needs the wp-admin path unchanged.We checked with different configurations and I could sync the MainWP Child and update the plugins and security only when the wp-admin was unchanged."Can you make a setting in MainWP so that when adding a site there is a field where you can specify a different admin path? that MainWP worked if instead of wp-admin I specify a different path, for example site-name-admin. that is, the path to the plugins will not be the same/wp-admin/plugins.phpand such/13-admin/plugins.phpor any other path to the admin panel that I need. This is an important security feature that hides WordPress from users.do you need to make an official request from Hide My WP Ghost tech support? or you will make compatibility without it.I want MainWP to work well with Hide My WP Ghost, but now I have to disable the function that hides the admin area

Due the great changes that GPS is incorporating, it would be great to add other tools like GTmetrix that are more neutral thn GPSThanks for considering this extension

Hello there, not sure if it’s possible or not but Uptime Kuma is a really awesome open source service for uptime monitoring and status page. I’m using it on Docker and I’m trying now to replace NodePing for my MainWP client reports.

Add Uptime Kuma support for AUM

It would be great to have a Cloudflare plugin that can read statistics to incorparate in reports. Like threats, caching etc. And while we are at it push settings to multiple child sites. They have a great API.

Extend WordFence tokens for Pro Reports to summarize how many attacks were blocked. As far as I can tell we only have the option to summarize total scans.

That would be fantastic! I have a number of htaccess changes I make to speed websites up on my server. Would be great if I could do them from MainWP.

Add .htaccess to code snippets

Hello TribeI hope everyone doing well.Since Google is actively developing SiteKit and offer PageSpeed, GA, GTM and other integrations at this moment so i was wondering, would it be possible for MainWP to integrate somehow with SiteKit so we could get rid of one or two plugins from the child sites ?

Google SiteKit Extension

It would be great to have the option to distribute Templates from the Elementor Theme Builder to all of my child sites. I think this would be a great new feature if this isn’t possible yet.

Hi, It would be great to be able to have an automatic update function in the favorite plugin part. I wish I could upload my favorite plugin with its license attached and that it automatically updates all the time. So when I have a new site to install, i can just pull the last version of my favorite plugins instead of an old one without licence that i still need to register and update on the new site.

Favorite plugins direct update

I think it is really time for MainWP, to support Gutenberg. It might have had its problems when it first came out, but it is the new standard for more than a year now and works perfectly fine now. It even has a classic editor block included for all those who still want to work with that.I tend to remove the classic editor plugin wherever I can (already at 80% of my clients). The truth is: Gutenberg is a great approach in its current state and a valid alternative to plugin based layout editors.And totally independent of what you guys personally think of it, it is there and won’t go away. So I really think it is time to respect this move from the guys at automattic and show that MWP is up to date. Just have a look at the folks at Toolset.com 2 for instance. They were not convinced in the beginning but are successfully and totally moving everything to Gutenberg now. And it works. And it is a sign of professionalism.Just my two cents. Thanks for reading.Also I don’t think that this actually is a feature wish but something that inevitably will come and therefore needs far more attention and an official statement. The chance of an upgrade like it was done with MWP 4.0 did not include Gutenberg was a huge drawback.

Finally support Gutenberg - Classic Editor is so outdated

This thought came from Brett Coleman responding to a video overview I did on the two client report extensions here.He wrote:“Do you have any suggestions for if you wanted to make a special note for each individual client in the report for that specific month? I may have overlooked it.”I certainly would use it.

Planned

Custom notes for individual clients in reports

Hi,Currently it's possible to write private notes for each websites registered in MainWP.It would be nice to have an other kind of notes (public notes ?). That notes could be displayed in the pro report plugin.I like to add some custom informations in the reports to my customers.

Is it possible to extend the Security Scan for each website?There are a couple of checks already in place.I would like to add one to remove the license.txt since it’s next to the readme.html, this should not be so difficult?Or is it already possible for me to add this to the database and make it work like that?Thank you.Andy

Hi all,Probably easy feature to implement, because footer text, and branding already exists, but I think having a notification banner (custom message), at the very top of Wordpress dashboard for other admins, would be great feature.This could be a great and easy way to communicate and warn other admins about specific path or action that you took, for example why specific plugin is disabled, this plugin release is unsafe, or why this section is disabled etc.You may not be the only admin in WordPress, so having this warning banner at the very top, will help you do your job better, without anyone messing things up.Please Vote!

Notification bar / Message in WordPress dashboard

After updating Plugins &amp; Themes &amp; WordPress core, there are often Translations which then show up afterwards needing an update. It'd be great if MainWP could auto-update the Translations immediately after updating the plugin or theme or core, part of the update process.

Auto-update Translations when updating WordPress and plugins

HiThe behavior of users in Google Search can be seen perfectly in the GSC.It would be even more ingenious to show this data to the customer on a monthly reported basis.Thumbs up if anyone is interested.

Search Console data in reports

Is it possible to get an average of lighthouse scores over time for client reports?Lighthouse scores can vary from one check to the next so it would be nice to take an average. Otherwise, 1 outlying low/high score can be misleading and not representative of the website's avg score.GTmetrix, for example, does this if you create a website monitor. It checks every X hours/days/etc. and then reports an average in a weekly email.Either a fixed X days (e.g. 7 days) average or the ability for us to control how many days/weeks/months to average would be helpful. This average should be available as a token for client reports and possibly also used in the dashboard screens instead of showing the most recent scan.

Lighthouse - avg scores over time

To improve our record-keeping, an option to export the list of plugins directly from the "Manage Plugin" section would be greatly appreciated.

Export Functionality from "Manage Plugin" section

It currently is difficult when managing many Code Snippets in MainWP to see what ones apply to any given Child Site. Currently it requires loading up every Code Snippet one by one and checking that way. I’d love to see a tab or something where I could do a quick lookup of Code Snippets by the Child Site, so that if I wanted to easily see what Code Snippets are applicable to Website #30, I can do so without needing to access dozens of Code Snippets individually.

See which Code Snippets apply to a Child Site at a glance

It would be conveniant and save a lot of time if there was a client import option. Import a csv, connect the corresponding fields from csv and clients section.

Core Enhancement

Import clients with csv file

The main feature stopping our agency from moving all the management to MainWP is the Visual Regression Testing feature. After running updates, flag anything that has visually changed on the front end.Competitors are adding this. See wpboom.comhexowatch.comdiffy.websiteWPBuffsFlywheelSteadyWPWP RemoteThere are Javascript libraries that do it as well.

The Rocket extension seems to be missing support for the Unused CSS option for CSS Delivery in the WP Rocket plugin. Support for that feature should be added to the extension to keep things in sync properly with the plugin.

Rocket extension needs to align with WP Rocket re: Optimize CSS Delivery - Support Unusued CSS option

A very important feature would be to have the possibility to schedule plugin upgrades. Updgrading during the day is not a good thing, because during the update visitors get blocked.So it would be great to have the possibility to schedule updates for the night. Perfect it would be when beeing able to do this for a single plugin, because I check each update before doing it on all my customers websites.

Hi, after updating WooCommerce sometimes its DB needs to be updated as well. Is it possible to get the info that the DB needs to be updated and/or add this update option as well?

Update Woocommerc DB from MainWP Dashboard

Hey guys I see you have an extension for Yoast SEO, but I’m pretty sure SEOPress is really better than Yoast lolCan you please take care and add an awesome addon for SEOPress?I believe reports and suggestions (also perfomance) it’s a great way to take care.

Hello,I would love to be able to ignore the current update for WordPress, plugins and themes. When a new version comes out, I would like to see it re-added to my list of updates.Use case:I didn’t update my sites to WordPress 5.5, but I waited for at least 5.5.1.I didn’t update to Elementor 3.0 on my sites, but I waited for the first minor updates.Thanks.

Ignore Update - but only for this version

It would be very helpful if we could also document the use of iThemes Security in the reports. Unfortunately, there are no tokens yet.Tokens for the last malware scan (day, time, status) would be important. In addition, a summary of all lockouts and brut force attacks in the report period would be great.

Pro Client Reports: Report Tokens for iThemes Security

I would find it very handy if the download file of a Pro Report could be given an adjustable name or, for example, be named after the name of the site / customer

Pro Reports - Custom name for PDF file

We need to get rid of that old redundant token system. Currently, we have “Boilerplate tokens”, “Client report tokens” and “Client Report Pro tokens”. So MWP requires us to actually enter the same data three times. And if we have the same owner for different websites even more often…What we need is the following:Introduce a “website owner” content typeWe can associate different websites to the same ownerWe have a consistent set of tokens which can be used in any extension that uses variables.Please give this a much-needed overhaul as this has been discussed already several years ago. Such little things really can make a difference.

Introduce a "Website Owner" feature and consolidate the redundant token systems

The security section of the WP Care Pro Report needs some attention!The only options are to provide the results of a sucuri site scan, which we know is something that cannot be automated. If I need to run weekly scans to make anything populate in this section I’m paying someone to go and click all the ‘scan’ buttons for all our sites which is just not something that is happening.We need the ability to either show the stats from the built-in vulnerability checker which uses wpscan.com 2 or to use some other security system like Shield Security Pro, or any others.

Vulnerability scans in the report

I love MainWP, but I am having one issue. I manage multiple sites, and having the ability to update all plugins can be a real time saver. The issue I have is when a particular plugin crashes while updating. MainWP just sits there without telling me anything. Sometimes, like today, on a couple of sites I was testing this on, all of the plugins updated, but the “updating” window never reported 100%, and didn’t close automatically.If it would simply report that “the xxx plugin cannot be updated”, or show that each plugin has updated in the progress bar. Something like that.Also, when updating plugins on a site’s WordPress dashboard, it states that (according to the author) “this update is 100% compatible with xxx”. If MainWP could report that as well, I could avoid attempting to update those plugins.
