More Reliable Site Health and Update Tracking in MainWP

Product Updates

Last week’s core releases focused on more reliable monitoring, clearer update reporting, and fewer inconsistencies between the MainWP Dashboard and connected Child sites.

MainWP Core

MainWP Dashboard 6.2.1

MainWP Dashboard 6.2.1 improves uptime monitoring across the site lifecycle. Enabling monitoring globally now restores affected monitors, missing primary monitors are repaired automatically, and removing a website also clears its related monitoring data.

Dashboard 6.2.1 also provides clearer plugin, theme, and translation upgrade status reporting, along with more consistent update and synchronization responses. REST API tag updates, database schema comparisons, and group record upgrades have been corrected, while unavailable version information is now left blank instead of showing an unreliable value.

Authenticated and renewal requests now use a longer, cryptographically random nonce. Tags are easier to read thanks to automatic text contrast, and the Edit Client and Edit User screens more clearly explain that blank fields preserve existing values on Child sites.

Dashboard 6.2.2

Dashboard 6.2.2 follows with a fix for a PHP fatal error that could occur when saving Monitoring settings.

MainWP Child 6.2.1

MainWP Child 6.2.1 improves premium update reporting by returning results immediately and removing stale update entries after installation. It also expands the Unique Security ID guidance, covering automatic generation, regeneration, connection methods, and Dashboard updates.
