Pause plugin updates for individual websites
It would be useful to be able to mark a site for exclusion from plugin updates so that they are separated for the regular sites. This would allow us to still connect and monitor a site but only update plugins after review and testing.

Connected sites report
Would it be possible to include an exportable report that lists all the connected websites and their current status. Eg pending updates, wordpress core version, php version.

Improve Snippets add-on with folders or tags
Hi, It would be great to have folders or tags in the Snippets add-on to better organize snippets. Managing many snippets is currently quite limited. Thanks!

WPML Secondary Language Support for Post Publishing
Hello MainWP Team, I would like to suggest a feature improvement regarding WPML compatibility. Currently, when publishing posts through MainWP on a website that uses WPML, the posts are always published in the default language. This creates a limitation for users managing multilingual websites, as there is no option to directly publish content in a secondary language. The issue: When I try to publish a post intended for a secondary language (e.g., Arabic, Spanish, etc.), MainWP publishes it under the default language instead of the selected WPML language. Suggested improvement: Please add support for WPML language selection when creating or publishing posts via MainWP. Ideally, this would include: A dropdown or option to choose the target language (as defined in WPML) Proper assignment of the post to the selected secondary language Compatibility with WPML translation structure Why this is important: Many users manage multilingual WordPress sites, and being able to publish directly to a specific language would significantly improve workflow efficiency and automation accuracy. Thank you for considering this feature. It would be a valuable addition for WPML users. Best regards

Cost tracker duplication
A little improvement that would be really practicle in some cases, would be the option to duplicate a cost. This would prevent to redo all the cost parameters for a an identical category and just change the things that are different (client/price/…). That would be saving time !

Wordfence - Firewall - External Allowlist of IPs
It would be useful for us to be able to import/append from an externally maintained list of safe IPs. We imagine it would look something like this: That way several of our tools (including MainWP) could benefit from that central “Single Source of Truth” list. We’d have less “spots” to keep up to date.

Support for Multiple Cloudways API Connections
Some clients have their own Cloudways account. It is not possible to set them as the backup provider on a per-site basis, nor is it possible to have more than one API connection in the main settings. I tried creating a Team account in Cloudways to connect to multiple client accounts, but Team accounts are not permitted API access in a way that applies to multiple Cloudways accounts.

File Monitor
It would be nice to have a File Monitor for a website that is scheduled to check WordPress Core checksum along with any WordPress Plugins and Themes hosted by WordPress itself. All other files could just be monitored for add/update/delete/permissions. Any changes and there would be reports on the dashboard and emails sent. If WP Core or plugins etc get updated through MainWP or by someone with appropriate credentials then these changes can be recorded but notifications don’t need to go out as they were done on purpose by the admins.

Force / Enforce / Report 2FA
Chatted with Dennis on Discord. I have a few clients looking for better security managment for their WordPress websites. Not only with the enforcement of User Password changes ( https://discord.com/channels/1153750602086621194/1153750602086621197/1470527736740057223) but also to have some sort of Enforcement to ensure eveyone is actively using 2FA and have a way to pull a report of some sort on users to show who has changed their password recently, and if they’re using 2FA (for compliance, security training and liability training). We currently have the USER MANAGEMENT tab for a site’s users, and it shows users, but for us, only if WordFence is active can we enforce 2FA, but even with the Wordfence add on, there is no where to manage that. In today’s protocols, this is becoming more standard, and a necessity for all web applications for most businesses. It would be great if we either integrate with a software to enforce the 2FA our if it can be added in some way, as well as the site Manager to be able to run a report on the Users to show a client who is compliant with protocols and whose account access needs to be reviewed.

Force User User Password Changes
Chatted with Dennis on Discord, about having something added for User Management in V6 Updates. We have the need to be able to force a user to change their password after 60 or 90 days, for managing internal security protocols. The ideal situation would be to insert a column on the MANAGE USERS tab, that shows the last date of Password Access, and maybe last date of login. The idea from the “Site Manager” perspective would be to periodically notify Administrators of inactive users, and to take a more active role in user management on their end either by us forcing them to change passwords at a certain interval or the Administrator to be notified in some way of active users, and to use that as a catalist to keep active user access managed, and more quickly identify those whose access needs to be revoked or updated.

I would love to see a native supported integration/extension for Burst Statistics. In particular, I’d like to be able to incude Burst Statistics data in Pro Reports and manage Burst settings from MainWP. We white-label our monthly MainWP ProReports sent ot our clients, and I’d like to just include the Burst monthly summary report in that as opposed to having a separate Burst email sent to each client.

Please make some proper activate/deactivate switches.
I'm sure if you enable or disable addons every day, this is not an issue. But when only using this every six months, I'm always confused and find it hard to see whether an addon is enabled or disabled. The current on/off switch makes no sense. Please make it more clear if an addon is active or not active. Thank you. Kind regards, Chilles.

Feature Request: Umami Analytics Extension
Hi MainWP Team, I am a happy user and I’ve been using MainWP for more than 10 years to manage my sites, and I really appreciate the platform—it saves me a ton of time. I would love to see an extension developed for Umami Analytics. With the increasing complexity of GA4 and the growing focus on privacy (GDPR), many of us in the WordPress community are moving away from Google Analytics. I believe Umami Analytics is a perfect fit for the MainWP ecosystem for several reasons: Self-Hosted Philosophy: Like MainWP, Umami is open-source and can be self-hosted. This aligns perfectly with users who prefer to own their own data. Privacy-Focused: It is GDPR compliant and often doesn't require cookie banners, which is a huge plus for client sites. Cost-Effective: It is completely free when self-hosted. Lightweight: It collects the essential data without bloating the websites. It would be incredibly valuable to have a MainWP extension that connects to a self-hosted Umami instance (or their cloud version) and pulls basic stats (Visitors, Pageviews, Bounce Rate) into the MainWP Dashboard for each child site—similar to how the Google Analytics extension works today. I really believe this would be a popular addition for agencies and developers focused on privacy and data ownership. Keep up the great work! Best regards, Chrilles
