MainWP Code Snippets Extension

Managing a group of WordPress sites often means repeating the same small edit again and again. A line in wp-config.php, a tweak to a theme file, a setting change: each one needs a login and a careful hand. This extension moves that work into the MainWP Dashboard, where you can add a PHP snippet once and send it to the child sites you pick.

Snippets can act like small plugins. They can clean up trash, update settings, create redirections or apply security rules such as disabling plugin and theme editors or blocking core updates. The extension works as a native MainWP Extension, so it suits developers, agencies and site managers who already run their portfolio from MainWP and want to test code on a staging site before it goes live.

Features

• Central snippet management: Add, edit and organize PHP snippets for all your child sites from the MainWP Dashboard, without switching between individual site admin areas.
• Remote code execution: Run a snippet on a child site to pull back information such as post counts, or edit the wp-config.php file of that site without logging into it.
• Security hardening snippets: Apply code that disables theme and plugin editors, blocks core updates, changes auto-save intervals or stops external HTTP requests on the sites you manage.
• Saved and reusable snippets: Keep frequently used snippets in one place so you can deploy them to other sites quickly and keep your setups consistent.
• Plugin settings and widget updates: Synchronize plugin configurations and update widgets across managed sites with a few clicks, which cuts down repetitive manual work.
• Snippets as mini-plugins: Use code to clear trash, update settings or create redirections, adding functionality without installing extra plugins on each site.
• Run on many sites at once: Execute one snippet across several child sites at the same time, so changes and updates apply uniformly across your network.
• Test before going live: The workflow encourages trying code on test sites first, which helps you catch problems before they reach live sites.

Best for

• Agencies managing many client WordPress sites
• Developers who deploy the same PHP code repeatedly
• Site managers already using the MainWP Dashboard
