Product Description
MainWP Clean and Lock is an extension for the MainWP WordPress management platform that addresses security and branding concerns on managed child sites. It removes visible indicators of the MainWP Child plugin from child site dashboards and locks the plugin settings to prevent unauthorized changes.
Cleaning Child Sites
The clean function removes references to the MainWP Child plugin from various locations on child sites. This includes hiding the plugin from the plugins list, removing dashboard widgets related to MainWP, and cleaning menu entries that indicate MainWP management is active on the site.
Security Features
- Settings lock — prevents access to the MainWP Child plugin settings page on managed sites
- Plugin hiding — removes the MainWP Child plugin from the visible plugins list
- Dashboard cleanup — removes MainWP-related dashboard widgets and notices
- Access restriction — blocks direct URL access to MainWP Child configuration pages
Management Scenarios
This extension is particularly relevant for agencies managing client WordPress sites. When clients have wp-admin access to their sites, Clean and Lock prevents them from seeing or modifying the management plugin configuration, maintaining the security of the management connection while keeping the client interface clean.
Bulk Application
Apply cleaning and locking settings across all child sites from the MainWP dashboard simultaneously. Settings can be configured per-site or globally, allowing different levels of cleanup based on client access requirements.
