Overview

Managing security on many WordPress sites usually means opening each admin area, checking scan results and changing settings one site at a time. This extension moves that work into the MainWP Dashboard. You can configure Wordfence, start malware and vulnerability scans, and review the security status of your whole network in one place.

It works with Wordfence version 7 or newer installed on your Child sites, so the firewall and malware scanning stay in Wordfence while you control them centrally. You can set shared preferences for the network and still adjust individual sites when a client or project needs different rules. It suits developers, agencies and professionals who look after several websites.

Features

  • Central Wordfence management: Configure Wordfence security settings for all your Child sites directly from the MainWP Dashboard, so you do not need to open each site's admin area.
  • Scans on all sites at once: Start malware and vulnerability scans on every connected Child site together, then review the results to find and deal with security issues.
  • Live traffic monitoring: Watch live traffic and user activity on each Child site as it happens, which helps you spot unusual behavior and possible threats.
  • Scheduled security scans: Set automatic scans to run daily, weekly or monthly, so checks happen on a regular rhythm that fits the way you work.
  • Per-site setting overrides: Change Wordfence settings for a single Child site when a client or project has its own security requirements, while other sites keep their setup.
  • Block or allow visitors: From the dashboard, decide which users and web crawlers may reach your sites. Blocking unwanted visitors helps lower the risk of exposure.
  • Firewall settings in bulk: Apply Wordfence firewall configuration to many sites together, which saves repeating the same changes on every installation.
  • Network security overview: See the security status of your whole WordPress network without switching between multiple admin panels.

Best for

  • Agencies managing security for many client websites
  • Freelancers who maintain several WordPress sites with Wordfence
  • Developers who want one dashboard for network security
