MainWP White Label Extension
Put your agency’s branding on the MainWP Child plugin and WP Admin across your client sites.
Rebrand MainWP Child, the WordPress login and the admin area
The MainWP White Label Extension is a Pro MainWP add-on that shows your agency’s name and details on the MainWP Child plugin across your client sites, or hides the plugin from the plugins list. Beyond the plugin, it customizes the WordPress login page and admin area, hides selected admin pages from clients, and adds a support form your clients can use to contact you from WP Admin.
What your clients see in WP Admin
On every client site, the MainWP Child plugin shows MainWP’s default branding in the plugins list your clients see. The MainWP White Label Extension takes your plugin name, author and links once under MainWP > Add-ons > White Label, saves them to all child sites, and lets any site override them. The same screen handles login page branding, admin restrictions and the client support form.
Features
The MainWP White Label Extension covers the plugin listing, the login page, the admin area and a client support form, for all sites or one at a time.
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Rebrand MainWP Child | Replace the plugin name, description, Plugin URI, author and Author URI shown in the WordPress plugins list. Leave a field empty, except Plugin name, to hide that information. |
| Hide the plugin | Turn on Visually hide the MainWP Child plugin to keep it out of your client’s plugins list. |
| Remove and disable options | Lock the current theme, hide the MainWP Child Settings, Server Information and Restore (Clone) pages, and hide the WordPress Tools, General settings and Permalinks pages. |
| Login and site branding | Set a custom login page image with its own link and title, a custom favicon, front-end footer content, generator text, and custom login CSS. |
| Admin area customization | Hide default dashboard widgets, Screen Options, the Help tab and default post and page meta boxes. Replace the admin footer text, add custom admin CSS, and find and replace text strings across the admin area. |
| Support form | Add a Contact Support button to the admin bar, the admin menu, or both. Messages go to the support email you set, with your own button title, introduction, and confirmation text. |
| Global and per-site settings | Apply your settings to all child sites at once, then turn on Override general settings in a site’s White Label tab to give that site its own branding, restrictions or support form. |
| Reset options | Reset all white label settings to their defaults from MainWP > Add-ons > White Label, then save to apply the reset to your child sites. |

The MainWP White Label Extension applies your branding to all child sites in one save, and per-site overrides and the support form are optional extra steps.
Brand MainWP Child on all sites
- Go to MainWP > Add-ons > White Label and select the White Label tab.

How settings reach your child sites
The MainWP White Label Extension keeps your settings for all sites, or for one site, on your MainWP Dashboard. When you click Save Settings, the settings go to your child sites, and the MainWP Child plugin on each site applies the branding, restrictions and support form there.
White Label FAQ
How do I remove white labeling from my sites?
Delete the Plugin name on the MainWP White Label Extension’s White Label tab and save to remove the MainWP Child branding. To reset every white label setting, go to MainWP > Add-ons > White Label, click Reset Settings at the bottom, click Yes, then click Save Settings to apply the reset to your child sites.
How do I bring back a hidden MainWP Child plugin on a disconnected site?
To bring back a MainWP Child plugin hidden by the MainWP White Label Extension, install the Reset MainWP Child Plugin Settings plugin on that child site. It resets all MainWP Child settings and deactivates itself; remove it after use. The documentation also covers a manual code edit and a functions.php filter for the same reset.
Can I turn off white labeling for certain users?
Yes, the MainWP White Label Extension skips a user when a mainwp_child_branding_init_options filter on the child site sets cancelled_branding for that user ID or username. The documentation has both examples, and the MainWP Code Snippets Extension can deploy the filter to all child sites at once.
