MainWP 6.1.3: Better Update Handling, Monitoring, and Site Onboarding 

Product Updates

Last week’s updates bring more reliable update handling, clearer uptime monitoring data, and better site onboarding across MainWP Core and the Patchstack Integration.

For agencies and site care teams, that means fewer stalled update attempts, more accurate monitoring details, and smoother workflows when adding or importing multiple sites.

MainWP Core

MainWP Dashboard 6.1.3

MainWP Dashboard 6.1.3 improves several background processes that support routine site maintenance.

Failed core auto-updates can now be retried more reliably. When the last failed attempt is older than six hours, MainWP can place the update back into the queue instead of leaving it stalled.

Uptime monitoring scheduling now records check times more consistently. This helps keep monitoring data and the displayed “Last Run” value aligned with activity on connected child sites.

Client imports are more flexible. You can now import client records without requiring those clients to already have associated child sites.

These changes reduce small points of friction in ongoing maintenance and make Dashboard data more dependable when reviewing updates, monitoring checks, and client records.

MainWP Child 6.1.3

MainWP Child 6.1.3 includes compatibility and logging fixes for two commonly used backup and staging workflows.

BackWPup backup logs now include relevant default jobs more reliably, giving you a clearer view of backup activity from the MainWP Dashboard.

Plugin status detection has been updated to account for recent changes in WP Staging, helping MainWP report its status correctly on connected sites.

MainWP Add-ons

Patchstack Integration 6.0.3

Patchstack Integration 6.0.3 improves how sites are matched, added, and synchronized with Patchstack.

More reliable site assignment. Patchstack IDs are now handled correctly when adding either individual sites or multiple sites at once. Better handling of larger site lists. Multi-site synchronization is now processed in batches, reducing the chance of problems when connecting many sites.

More consistent URL matching. URL normalization helps reduce mismatches caused by differences in site URL formatting.

Database schema validation support adds another check around the extension’s stored data and upgrade process.

For teams managing vulnerability data across a larger network, these changes make initial setup and ongoing synchronization more predictable.
