We’re really excited to announce the release of MainWP v5.2. This significant release includes several fixes, updates, and additions. These include the new Kinsta integration, ignored updates for specific plugin or theme versions, and an option to schedule automatic updates at a specific time.

This new API version is part of the Core MainWP Dashboard plugin and will allow you to connect your Dashboard to 1000’s of other services.

In fact, this update has so many changes that the changelog video is almost 3 minutes long just to go over it. Give it a watch here.

Five New Videos

Automate and Integrate AI with Updated API

We’ve created not just one but FIVE new videos that cover the changes in the new update and a couple of How-To’s that may give you some ideas on how to use the new API to automate some dashboard tasks and integrate your own ChatGPT, allowing you to use AI to perform some MainWP tasks.

In our Sneak Peak video, we’ll introduce you to some of the new features and capabilities you now have at your fingertips with the new REST API.

In our Walkthrough video, we show you how to properly set up your MainWP Dashboard and create tokens to fully utilize the MainWP REST API v2 features.

Now for the REALLY FUN stuff. . . we’ve created three videos to show you how you can do things like integrate a CustomGPT,  or create automated workflows utilizing either Zapier or Make with the MainWP REST API. 

So forget the Netflix and chill. It’s time to MainWP and REST! And hey, while you’re at it, why not subscribe to the channel so you can keep up to date on our latest video content?
