Overview
Managing security settings across separate WordPress sites can mean repeating the same tasks on each one. This extension brings iThemes Security controls into the MainWP Dashboard, where site managers can oversee settings across their Child sites. Apply configurations across sites or adjust them individually to suit each site's needs.
From the dashboard, you can manage settings for brute force protection, strong passwords, malware scans, file change detection, database backups, and admin user privileges. A security overview widget displays status for each Child site, and the extension also lets you manage the iThemes Security plugin across managed sites.
Features
- Centralized settings: Control iThemes Security settings for Child sites from the MainWP Dashboard, without managing each site's security settings separately.
- Global or individual control: Apply security configurations across managed sites or customize settings for individual sites according to their needs.
- Security status widget: View a security overview widget on each Child site's dashboard to check its security status and review alerts.
- Security controls: Manage settings for brute force protection, strong passwords, malware scans, file change detection, and database backups.
- Plugin management: Activate, update, or deactivate the iThemes Security plugin across the sites you manage through MainWP.
- Admin access management: Regulate admin user roles and permissions to manage access across your WordPress sites.
