Overview
Changing the same setting on one site after another takes time and invites mistakes. This extension moves that work into the MainWP Dashboard. You choose the settings you want, pick the Child sites that should receive them, and apply the change in one pass. It covers WordPress Core, plugin and theme settings, so routine configuration stays consistent across every site you look after.
It pairs with the MainWP Key Maker plugin, which captures your preferred settings from a source site and turns them into a reusable key. You then apply that key to as many Child sites as you need. It also works with the MainWP Boilerplate Extension, so boilerplate tokens can add dynamic values to a key. Any plugin or theme that uses standard WordPress form fields can be handled this way.
Features
- Central bulk settings control: Update WordPress Core, plugin and theme settings across your Child sites at the same time from a single MainWP Dashboard, instead of editing each site by hand.
- Key Maker integration: Capture the settings you want from one source site with MainWP Key Maker, then generate a reusable key that can be applied to multiple Child sites.
- Target specific Child sites: Apply settings to individual sites or to groups of Child sites, so you can customize a rollout without sending a blanket update to everything.
- Works with standard form fields: Any plugin or theme that uses standard WordPress form fields can be managed through this extension, which gives it wide use across the sites in your network.
- Boilerplate token support: Use the MainWP Boilerplate Extension to place boilerplate tokens inside keys, adding dynamic variables so each site can receive customized values during a bulk update.
- Privacy-conscious design: The extension is built with security and data privacy in mind, so your site information stays protected while settings are created, distributed and applied.
- Simple key workflow: Creating, distributing and applying settings keys follows a few plain steps, which keeps the process approachable for administrators at different skill levels.
Best for
- Agencies managing many client WordPress sites
- Freelancers who maintain a network of Child sites
