Overview

Managing custom dashboard changes across separate code files can make them harder to organize and maintain. This plugin provides a central place in the MainWP Dashboard to write, edit, and manage CSS, JavaScript, and PHP snippets. Snippets are saved in the database, keeping them separate from the MainWP core plugin and intact through its updates.

Use CSS and JavaScript to change the dashboard’s appearance or behavior, and PHP snippets to add custom functionality. The plugin includes PHP validation and error handling, along with options to preview or apply snippet changes. Custom code runs on the MainWP Dashboard site, leaving child sites unaffected.

Features

  • Central snippet management: Keep CSS, JavaScript, and PHP snippets together in the MainWP Dashboard database for easier access and organization.
  • Dashboard code editor: Write, edit, and save snippets within the dashboard, without relying on FTP or an external code editor.
  • PHP validation: Validate PHP snippets before running them. Malformed snippets are rejected, and error handling helps identify PHP issues.
  • Preview or apply changes: Preview or apply changes to PHP, CSS, and JavaScript snippets from the dashboard.
  • Dashboard-only changes: Apply custom code to the MainWP Dashboard site, so changes do not affect connected child sites.
  • Keep code through updates: Store customizations separately from the MainWP core plugin, so they remain in place when the dashboard plugin is updated.

Best for

  • MainWP managers overseeing multiple WordPress sites
  • Developers customizing a MainWP Dashboard
  • Administrators organizing dashboard code snippets
