This week we have some updates to the MainWP Dashboard and Child plugins. We also have an appearance by Marc on This Week in WordPress. Lastly, we have some Early Release news.



This Week's Product Updates

We have just released updates to both the MainWP Dashboard and Child.

MainWP Dashboard v5.4.1 has landed with a fresh round of fixes and improvements. One standout change is smarter site filtering in the Manage Sites list. You can now combine multiple Tags using AND logic, which means you get laser focused results instead of broad groupings. Pick the exact mix you need and the Dashboard shows only the sites that match every tag you selected. Check out the full changelog here.

MainWP Child v5.4.1 is live with fixes that smooth out your workflow. The update resolves issues with Cloudflare cache purging and restores proper plugin and theme installs from your Favorites. We also added a new filter so developers can define a custom upload directory when they need more control behind the scenes. For more details, read the changelog.

Did You Catch Marc On This Week in WordPress Monday?

It is always a fun time on This Week in WordPress. If you are not a regular viewer or listener, we highly recommend you give it a listen. Not only does Nathan and his panel of guests talk about the latest news in WordPress, but he makes it tons of fun. This week, Marc joined the panel along with Michelle Frechette from Post Status and Davinder Singh Kainth from The WPWeekly. They talked about the live State of the Word that was, then was not, then was, then was not, as well as a host of other things that included AI, WordPress 6.9, where to go when they run out of jazz musician names, awards, and a whole lot more. If you missed it, you can catch the replay. We hope you learn something and maybe even crack a smile or two.

Did You Know?

The Code Snippets Extension lets you run custom code across all your connected sites without touching each site directly. Add a snippet once in your MainWP Dashboard, choose where it should run, and you have instant bulk power. It is like giving yourself a central command center for tweaks, fixes, and small features.
