Overview

Managing database upkeep across several WordPress sites can mean repeating the same cleanup tasks site by site. MainWP Maintenance Extension lets you remove post revisions, auto drafts, trashed posts, and spam comments on Child sites from the MainWP Dashboard. You can choose which data types to target, then run database optimization to reduce stored data.

Set schedules for regular cleanup and monitor their activity from the dashboard. Schedule controls include pausing or resuming tasks, managing several schedules at once, and viewing selected sites, tags, or clients. The extension also tracks failures for individual sites during maintenance runs. Its 404 monitoring sends email alerts when visitors encounter broken links.

Features

  • Clean database content: Remove post revisions, auto drafts, trashed posts, and spam comments from Child sites to clear out database content you no longer need.
  • Choose cleanup targets: Select the data types to include in cleanup and optimization tasks for each Child site, adapting maintenance to the site's needs.
  • Schedule regular upkeep: Create database cleaning schedules, then pause or resume them as needed. Schedule status tracking shows activity and failures.
  • Manage schedules in bulk: Delete, pause, or resume multiple maintenance schedules at once, and review the sites, tags, or clients included in each schedule.
  • Optimize site databases: Run database optimization on Child sites to reduce stored data and improve database input and output efficiency.
  • Monitor 404 errors: Track 404 errors and receive email alerts when visitors encounter broken links, so you can identify issues to address.
