Overview

Databases fill up over time with post revisions, auto drafts, trashed posts and spam comments. Cleaning them by hand on each site takes time, especially when you look after many sites. MainWP Maintenance Extension lets you remove that clutter across your child sites from the MainWP Dashboard, so storage use stays under control and databases stay tidy.

You choose which data types to target on each child site, then run the task right away or put it on a schedule. Database optimization is also available, and schedules can be paused, resumed or managed in bulk. The extension fits freelancers and agencies who maintain several WordPress sites and want one routine for all of them. It also includes 404 error monitoring with email alerts when visitors hit broken links.

Features

  • Database cleaning: Remove post revisions, auto drafts, trashed posts and spam comments across multiple child sites to keep each database lean and organized.
  • Scheduled maintenance: Set up cleanup tasks on a schedule so regular maintenance runs automatically without repeating the same manual work on every site.
  • Database optimization: Optimize the databases of your child sites to reduce stored data size and improve input/output efficiency.
  • 404 error monitoring: Get email alerts when visitors run into broken links, so you can find and fix those pages promptly.
  • Customizable tasks: Choose which data types to clean on each child site, so the process matches what that site actually needs.
  • Pause and resume schedules: Pause a maintenance schedule and pick it up again later, or apply delete, pause and resume actions to several schedules at once.
  • Schedule status and failures: Track the status of each schedule and see per-site failures from maintenance runs, so problems are easy to spot.
  • Managed in MainWP Dashboard: Control every maintenance task from your MainWP Dashboard, with target details showing how many sites, tags or clients each schedule covers.
