MainWP Pro delivers access to premium integrations and extensions for the MainWP Dashboard, a free, open-source add-on for managing multiple WordPress sites. The Dashboard runs on a WordPress website you host and connects to managed sites through the MainWP Child plugin.

Choose add-ons for your process

Integrations connect the Dashboard with third-party services and extensions. Extensions are standalone add-ons built for the Dashboard. Choose and configure the add-ons that fit the utilities and processes you use.

Manage sites and client work

From the central Dashboard, you can execute bulk updates for WordPress core, add-ons and themes, and arrange scheduled or on-demand backups. The Client Management module helps organize sites and client relationships. Cost Tracker lets you record and categorize site expenses, set recurring costs, make cost reports, and track payments and upcoming renewals.

The Dashboard is self-hosted, so your management environment runs on your own WordPress site. MainWP describes its plugins as privacy-focused and states that they do not collect personally identifiable information. Developers can extend the Dashboard with hooks, CLI and its REST API.

Set up MainWP

1. Install the MainWP Dashboard on a private WordPress site.
2. Install the MainWP Child plugin on each site you want to manage.
3. Connect the child sites to the Dashboard.
4. Install and configure the MainWP Pro integrations or extensions that fit your workflow.

After setup, use the Dashboard to organize sites, review maintenance tasks, apply updates, arrange backups, and manage client and cost information.
