Overview

WooCommerce and Elementor sometimes need a database update after the plugin itself is updated. When you look after many sites, logging into each one to run those updates takes time and is easy to miss. This extension brings the task into the MainWP Dashboard, so you can see which Child sites are waiting and deal with them in one place.

A dedicated Database Updates tab shows the sites that need attention. You can update many sites in bulk, or pick individual sites when a staging workflow or a specific case calls for it. Each site also has an Update Now option for a single, precise update. It works with an existing MainWP setup and does not need extra plugins or APIs.

Features

  • Central database update management: Handle WooCommerce and Elementor database updates for all your Child sites from the MainWP Dashboard, without visiting each site separately.
  • Database Updates tab: A dedicated tab shows which Child sites currently need a database update, so you can see the work waiting at a glance.
  • Bulk updates: Update database versions on several Child sites at the same time when many sites need the same routine maintenance.
  • Selective updates: Choose individual sites to update when a specific need or a staging workflow means not every site should be changed at once.
  • Update Now for single sites: Open a Child site that needs an update and apply it with one click, which gives you precise control over each site.
  • Works with your MainWP setup: The extension runs on your existing MainWP installation and supported plugins, and it needs no extra plugins or APIs.
  • WooCommerce and Elementor coverage: It covers database updates tied to WooCommerce, Elementor and Elementor Pro, which are common plugins across managed client sites.
  • Handles disconnected sites: Bulk database updates are set up to cope with Child sites that have become disconnected, so one such site does not stall the whole run.

Best for

  • Agencies managing many client sites in MainWP
  • Freelancers maintaining WooCommerce stores for several clients
  • Developers running Elementor sites from one dashboard
