We firmly believe there are three main reasons why 600k+ WordPress websites are being managed using MainWP.
- Open Source & Self-hosted, ensuring your and your clients’ privacy.
- Support is Make or Break!
- Innovate, Innovate, Innovate…
Earlier this year, we released MainWP 4.2, which highly focused on privacy updates for us, you, and your clients.
💪 Since then, our team has been working on MainWP 4.3, a relatively big release that includes many UI/UX improvements, added features such as client management, fixes, a new and intuitive way of managing plugins, themes, updates, and a lot more.

Looking really good – love the new design and the possiblities 🙂
However, It would still be nice to have a “copy – paste” function for adding new child sites.
1) Install the MainWP plugin on the child site and hit the copy button
2) Enter MainWP Dashboard. click on “Add new” and use Ctrl+V or click on a paste button.
3) DONE 🙂
Darkmode! 😍
Great work, I’m really enjoying the new interface so far!
