Fantastic, a reference tutorial. Been using MainWP for a long time (didn't even recognize the new set-up "walk through").
Simplifying the complex. You are a master at it Paul. I wasn't aware of how Main WP can be the complete hub of a WordPress management system. I'm grateful as usual.
Great tutorial, Paul. Thank You! I always learn something new by watching your videos,
Thank you for such a nice in-depth look into this software.
Haven't heard of this plugin until now. Just set it up and it makes managing my sites a breeze. I am really grateful for these videos, thanks Paul!
Great to hear 😁
Great video man! Makes things alot simpler.
Hi Paul, great video!!!!!!!!! Fantastic
This Plugin is amazing , will really make my work so much easier. Thanks you so much for this video tutorial.
Thanks Paul!
Thank you very very much !! Exactly I needed ...i hope I will manage to set this up using my flywheel local setup
Hi Paul.. I had mainwp installed on a host and found it realllyyyy slow and frustrating.... it was so bad I stopped using it but then I tried it locally and it was super fast to do things and I started using it again :) thanks for the tutorial always handy!
Another great video - Thank You !!!!
My pleasure 🤘
A most excellent Tut! Many thanks. I am now due to be setting up MainWP as I now have my first client properly onboard (2 more on the way in). What I was doing just before getting to this stage were Contracts... Maintainance and site. Wondering if you would share your processes/solutions to this at some point? jeez! just do not appreciate what has to go into getting this right, I am lucky as my friend/client is in the loop somewhat and is helping me with feedback (yes that hurtful type lol) Thanks, Paul C ;)
Hi Paul been using for a while but learned loads I didn’t know from your video. Since you posted the Remote feature has been deleted from the free version of the MainWp you need to do this on each child site now
Thanks for the video and for all tutorials you have done!
My main concern for these kind of plugins is security of the child sites since we open one more way to administer the sites. If there were only some way to setup firewall rules on the client servers to allow access to MainWP only from certain IPs.
again a great video , well paul im wondering what is the screening tool that your using if that is possible to be knowed .. thnx
Hi Paul, I enjoyed the video and am seriously considering this approach. I would like to ask if you have compared MainWP and ManageWP? If so, do you still recommend MainWP or has your opinion / suggestion changed? Thanks. All the best from Indiana (USA)
Hi great video!
A question, that website you got open, looks like a todo site, which one is that, looks really clean and is it something you would recommend?
Having a few probs adding a local site, using flywheel - been at it awhile now so wil come back and let u know how and if I get on, cheers as still quite newish to WP - as scripted with HTML CSS before :/
great job
Thanks for another great tutorial! I know from your other video on WPVivid you showed us a setting to create backup before updating. I can't seem to find that option in mainWP. I tested with it set up in a child site but when I did the updates form MainWP a new backup was not created first. Am I missing something? I would think there would be a way to do this. Thanks!
awesome
Hi mate. I'm trying the trail and I love it after watching your video - however the composer for the website is the standard Wordpress interface. Do you know if I install DIVI or another visual composer whether that will update the add new blog / page interface so that it's cleaner and nicer to publish articles with as opposed to the standard, or does it use the standard by default?
I watched several tutorials of yours. One was for fronted submission forms and now this one. Can this be set up to use the front end submission form and post to multiple sites? And be editable from the front end as well?
love mainwp
I am curious about security. Can MainWP scan sites automatically on schedule (daily) externally and detect if a site has been compromised? I ask because apparently ManageWP does this via Sucuri. So whatever happens to any kind of locally installed security plugin if a site gets hacked doesnt matter since the scans will run just fine anyway and see that the site is compromised. If I need the plugin to tell me that I can´t be really confident since bugs can occur in the actual locally installed security plugin any time of the week. From what I read on the mainwp website sucuri needs to be started manually and that puts more stress on me to always remember to check sites manually.
Is it possible to select some plugins, and just update selected?
Awesommmeeee!!! Will you add the premium addons?
Possibly. I'll see how much interest there is in the topic and may revisit it and cover some of the premium options. 😁
Sir can you teach us how to use woocommerce API manager, how to manage our software and plugins how to update themes and plugin to client wordpress dashboard, many thanks
Is there any way to put all your sites in maintenance mode at the same time ?
Was hoping to see if having / storing / installing and activating plugins by groups would be a part of this video.. its not. Do you plan to do one?
Will this work for Wordpress multisite?
i'm kind of lost. Do you have one wordpress email account under which you built totally unrelated websites and able to manage everything using mainwp? or do you have different email for each website and add them to mainwp to manage them in one place? I need help with this.
Hi, I followed your video from the beginning and wanted to ask, each plugin has a different login page, how to create a website with one login page but has a different plugin, or more specifically one login page for one site
Sorry, I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Could you clarify what you mean by each plugin has a different login page?
I'm not sure I'm right but on the websites I'm running I have option to choose automatic updates for every single plugin. Will love to have MultipleWP installed but I'm not sure the instructions are updated. It also look like a lot of work and options to set it incorrectly. I'm searching all around for information about website translation without any plugin.
So to do this I need to have a fresh Wordpress install? Ok, then how do I move the Wordpress install I currently have in my Root folder into a subfolder? I tried moving everything over and changing my URLs in Settings>General but they are greyed out. I removed the set URLs from WP-Config, but then I can't log-in. I also tried changing them in the database directly but Home doesn't exist under WP-Options. Seems like every step leads to another to another to another to a dead-end. I just want to manage two wordpress sites easily. Multisite wasn't going to work well either and would require similar headache inducing steps.
Tell me what to do! Please!!!!
If the service Can a customer install A plug-in with a 30-day usage condition and automatically cancel it if the customer does not extend it again after 30 days? I wonder if there is a function that can do this
i can see myself using this service.
How does this compare with ManageWP? Can you use the one dashboard to login to all your websites avoiding the customary spreadsheet full of Logins/passwords?
clive Stephenson you can access your remote site dashboards from inside MainWP. 👍
Is there a way to customize the UI for the MainWP dashboard?
To a certain extent yes. There is a free plugin that opens up CSS support for the interface.
Second question from a disappointed ManageWP user, does MainWP have a way of serving up site reports to send to my clients?
MainWP has an add-on plugin just for this: wordpress.org/plugins/mainwp-child-reports/
Hi Paul - I have mainwp with siteground and much faster now. I use wpVivid with mainwp but there doesn't seem to be a way to automatically backup the child sites before carrying out plugin updates from mainwp - any ideas pls?
When I spoke to the developers of WPVivid there were sadly no plans to manage/trigger the automatic backup-up option from MainWP. I'm hoping they may rethink the decision, but right now that appears to be the situation.
@@WPTuts thanks Paul.. yes they just confirmed today it is on their radar to do.. many thanks
@@WPTuts So, do you now still go into all Wordpress sites independently to update everything from there? Just curious what's your way of working now this obviously ideal way is not possible..
I just starting using both WPVivid and MainWP because I expected the auto-backup would be triggered by updates within MainWP as well, but it is a big bummer this is not the case.. It feels like they are missing out on one of their core opportunities.
Great video! I set up MainWP on a localhost site under Laragon over a year ago, but have not been using it.
I did not see any way in your video to check the age and changes in plugin updates. This is something I do manually on sites as I update them. I generally avoid updates that are less than 1 day old (I saw that the auto update did the same) and also look at what the changes are in the changelog before updating. Can that be done from MainWP? On the site itself it's quite easy, just click on "view details". I guess an alternative would be to have wordpress.org open and go to each plugin's page to see the details, but that seems convoluted.
Any thoughts on doing this through MainWP?
I'll answer my own question. I just launched my MainWP site and looked at the plugin updates page. If you look at the details, showing the list of plugins, you can click on the plugin name and get the details screen right there. Neat!
"We have deleted the global configuration for remote storage from the extension for WPvivid Backup Plugin free version.
"
... This is a slight bummer... Making it not quite free... But perhaps still worth it... Excellent video as ever however!
So, Reports are for pro version. I only have one client atm and it would be good if I could do the report for free. my clients maintenance plan would pay for MainWP Pro but leave me with no profitsssss.... Speculate to accumulate, yes I get that but I would love to see something in my pocket as soon as possible, good for motivation etc.. Anyone have a solution or ideas??? Cheers
markdigital9, I am wondering the same thing. I can see the value for client reports and to monitor comments but not sure if I want to make that kind of investment at the moment.
Hi Paul, is MainWp secure? I'm afraid of security breaches?
If you're concerned about security, you could run MainWP from your local computer and only enable it when you need to do something. This would reduce the risk of security issues.
@@WPTuts thank you for your reply!
Main WP or ManageWP?
