Project In MainWP Dashboard – The WordPress Manager for Professional Website Maintenance
The MainWP WordPress Manager Dashboard plugin allows you to control unlimited WordPress sites from your own private self-hosted WordPress install.
The MainWP WordPress management system is a free and open source. The system is designed for WordPress professionals who realize that WordPress management for yourself or your clients is more than just plugin and theme updates.
And, just because it is free does not mean it’s not effective. MainWP allows you to control virtually all of your daily WordPress maintenance tasks at absolutely no cost.
The Dashboard plugin allows you to connect and control all the WordPress sites you administer, even those on different hosts and servers.
MainWP is the perfect solution for WordPress consultants, marketers, developers, WordPress shops, or anyone with multiple WordPress sites.
How does MainWP work?
First, Install and Activate this MainWP Dashboard plugin on a WordPress site you will use for controlling all other sites; this is your Dashboard Site. We highly recommend this be a new, clean WordPress installation and not on one of your operating sites. Using a clean site helps to eliminate any unnecessary plugin conflicts or security issues.
Next, Install and Activate the MainWP Child plugin on a WordPress site you want to connect to your MainWP Dashboard. WordPress sites connected to your Dashboard are referred to as Child sites.
Lastly, you securely connect your child site to your MainWP Dashboard. Once connected, your Dashboard can control most aspects of the Child site.
Still not sure how MainWP works? Review these detailed steps on installing your Dashboard and connecting your first Child site.
How is MainWP free? What’s the catch? How will you continue to pay development costs?
We make money by selling Extensions.
Extensions enhance your MainWP Dashboard with additional features. The catalog of MainWP Extensions includes additional features for backups, marketing, SEO, maintenance, security, monitoring, and other tools to help you build a better network.
Everything below and more is included in with MainWP at absolutely no charge, no tricks, no hidden fees, no nickel and diming you for every little feature and absolutely no gotchas!
Some Included MainWP Features:
Easy Management
The MainWP WordPress management system takes the hassle out of managing your themes and plugins. The MainWP Dashboard allows easy review of which of your WordPress sites have themes and plugins that need updating.
Just one click will update all of your plugins and themes across all your sites.
Effortless Upgrades
Do you have a busy schedule and dread all of the work you’ll be putting into upgrading to WordPress’s latest version? Worry no more! With the click of a button from your MainWP WordPress Manager Dashboard, all of your WordPress sites will be upgraded to the latest stable version.
One-Click Access
Do you have too many WordPress sites to remember? Accessing all of your WordPress sites is now a breeze with our intuitive one-click access. With the click of a button, you’re instantly and securely logged in and ready to work in that WordPress site!
Automated Updates
Using the Trusted Plugin and Theme option in your MainWP Dashboard will automatically update all Plugins and Themes you trust with no further interaction. Your MainWP Dashboard will alert you by email with available updates and then auto-update them the next day.
Abandoned Plugin and Theme Alerts
When a plugin or theme hasn’t had an update in a long time, we tend to forget about it, which could lead to security or compatibility issues. Your MainWP Dashboard will alert you of possibly abandoned plugins or themes so that you can look for a more updated plugin or theme.
Multiple Reliable Backup Options
The MainWP Dashboard offers multiple backup options. We have integrated some of the most popular backup plugins and released them as Free Backup Extensions this allows you to use the backup plugins you know and trust directly from your MainWP Dashboard.
Self-Hosted
Your MainWP Dashboard is hosted on your own WordPress install and not on our private servers. We do not keep records of your actions, sites, passwords, or anything else. Why that’s important!
Private
We have 100% respect for your privacy. The developers do not have access to any of your WordPress sites or information. Why that’s important!
Ignore Updates
Is there a plugin or theme that you do not want to update for compatibility or other issues? Just tell your MainWP Dashboard to ignore it, and it will no longer alert you of the update.
Content Management
With the power of the MainWP WordPress management system, publishing content to sites is now as easy as possible. Pick your site from a list, write content, and publish, without the hassles of logging into each and every site. It’s just as easy to manage links, comments, and spam using our mass publish and delete functions.
Bulk Posting
Posting content to multiple websites can prove difficult with WordPress alone. With the MainWP Dashboard, posting content to multiple blogs couldn’t be more natural. Create the content, select your blogs, and enjoy the time you saved.
Open Source Code
Both the MainWP WordPress Manager Dashboard and Child plugin are fully open source and GPL compliant with no obfuscated code, so you always know what is running on your server. Both plugins are also maintained on GitHub for easy code access.
Discovery Protection
MainWP protects you from your competitors, search engines, or anyone else with prying eyes. No one will ever know you are using the MainWP WordPress management system unless you tell them.
Customize MainWP
Extensions offer custom functions and features so that each user can tailor their WordPress management experience to their needs.
Developer? Code your own Extensions
Building on WordPress’s core principles, the MainWP plugin allows third-party developers to “hook” into it, so anything you want can be developed for your MainWP Dashboard. You can find more information in the Develop MainWP Extensions page. Build around a proven WordPress Management System!

It’s a little rough around the edges and not always very pretty or intuitive but this tool is for professionals so it doesn’t have to be like a Mac app. Buy the lifetime license with all the add-ons and the time savings are immense. When comparing WordPress to other CMS’ this should appear in the features list because in the real world you can’t (sensibly) keep on top of more than a dozen or so sites without it.

I maintain nearly 50 sites and until recently had been updating them all manually. I’d tried a different maintenance plugin a while back but it stalled often and ended requiring me to log in to each site and complete updates manually which defeated the object so I dropped it pretty quickly.
Having heard good things about Main WP, and seeing the massive amount of 5 star reviews, I thought I’d give it a go and I’m well pleased. One login, centralised information about all sites, bulk or individual updates and direct links to the admin of any site if needed, no login required. And more. Works on a local install which adds security. Massive time saver.
Still early days, relatively speaking, but I can’t see any reason at this point why I would not continue using it and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone maintaining multiple sites.
