Termageddon for MainWP
Put Termageddon policy pages on your child sites and see which sites need action on their policies.
Publish and track Termageddon policies across client sites
Termageddon for MainWP is a free MainWP add-on that puts Termageddon policy pages on your child sites and shows in your MainWP Dashboard which sites need action on their policies. Through your Termageddon account, you create or link Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Disclaimer, and Cookie Policy & Consent Tool pages and link each site to a Termageddon Policy Set. The Termageddon team develops it.
The policy page routine on each site
Setting up policy pages by hand means creating the page on each site, pasting the Termageddon embed code, and checking the Termageddon Dashboard to see which policies need attention. Termageddon for MainWP puts every child site, its policy pages and its Policy Set status in one table in your MainWP Dashboard, and publishes a policy page to several sites at once.
Features
Termageddon for MainWP handles policy pages, Policy Sets and policy status from one screen.
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Policy pages for every site | Add-ons > Termageddon for MainWP lists your child sites with a column for each policy type: Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Disclaimer, and Cookie Policy & Consent Tool. |
| Create new policy pages | Click Add Page, enter the page title, paste the Termageddon Embed Code, and publish. When you publish to several sites, the results list shows whether the page was created, updated or failed on each one. |
| Link existing pages | Use a page that is already published on the child site. Search the menu by page title and select it. |
| Edit, relink or unlink | Open a linked page in the policy page editor, point the policy at another published page, or unlink it. Unlinking keeps the page on the child site. |
| Policy Sets | Link a child site to a Policy Set you created in the Termageddon Dashboard, or open the Termageddon Dashboard to create a new one. |
| Policy status and filters | See each linked site’s Policy Status: Active, Update Required, Incomplete, or Pending Invite. Filter the table by status and narrow it further with the Search field. |
| Policy updates on the Updates Overview | The Updates Overview widget in your MainWP Dashboard shows how many child sites need policy updates. |

How policy text and status reach your sites
Termageddon for MainWP runs on your MainWP Dashboard and connects to the Termageddon API with your API key. It creates or links policy pages on your child sites, and the policy text on each page comes from the Termageddon Embed Code. It also checks the status of each linked Policy Set, so you can see when one needs action.
Termageddon FAQ
What do I need to pay for?

What does No Policy Set mean for a child site?
