to dircp/wp plugin: mainwp - NOTES rev 1 feb 2022 Category: administration cp/wp: classicpress and wordpress webwalker: great plugin - personally not using any more [feb 2022] ....................................................... description: Manage multiple websites remotely, like updating plugins on all sites, etc. The most useful of the major ones that i checked. Open source, and self-hosted. I used it for a couple years - it's great. Now stopped using it - now all websites i manage are on one server, and wp-cli and the cPanel's WP Toolkit give me everything i need. I just don't need a lot of what MainWP offers, and having an install just adds some overhead that isn't useful to me any more. Thank you MainWP - it is a great plugin, and i advise using it.
