Managing a vast library of plugins and themes across multiple WordPress sites can quickly become a bottleneck in your workflow. The MainWP Favorites Extension is designed to eliminate the repetitive task of searching for your go-to tools every time you set up a new site or manage an existing one. By allowing you to curate a personalized list of your most-used plugins and themes directly within your MainWP Dashboard, this extension streamlines your site maintenance, ensures consistency across your network, and saves you significant time on every project.
Key Features

- Seamless Integration: The extension integrates directly into your MainWP Dashboard interface, ensuring that your workflow remains uninterrupted and intuitive.
- Rapid Installation: Once your favorites are defined, you can initiate installations on any of your connected child sites directly from your curated list, significantly speeding up the deployment process.
- Consistency Across Projects: Easily maintain a standard stack of security, performance, and utility plugins across all your client sites, ensuring that every site you manage meets your high standards.
- Simplified Management: Keep your dashboard clean and organized by focusing only on the tools you actually use, rather than scrolling through endless search results.
Use Cases and Who It’s For
The MainWP Favorites Extension is an essential tool for anyone responsible for the maintenance and development of multiple WordPress websites. If you are a freelance web developer, an agency owner, or a site manager, you likely have a “standard stack”‚Äîa specific set of plugins and themes that you install on almost every site you build. Without this extension, you are likely wasting minutes on every site setup searching for these items, checking for the correct versions, and verifying the developers.
For agencies, this extension is a game-changer for quality control. By standardizing the plugin and theme stack across your entire client portfolio, you ensure that every site is equipped with the same security measures, SEO tools, and performance optimizations. This consistency makes troubleshooting easier and ensures that your team is always working with the familiar tools they know best.
Whether you are managing five sites or five hundred, the MainWP Favorites Extension removes the friction from your daily routine, allowing you to focus on high-value development work rather than administrative busywork.
Setup and How It Works
Getting started with the MainWP Favorites Extension is straightforward and designed to fit into your existing MainWP workflow.
- Installation: Install and activate the MainWP Favorites Extension on your MainWP Dashboard site just like any other MainWP extension.
- Define Your Favorites: Navigate to the Favorites section within your MainWP Dashboard. Here, you can search for plugins and themes from the official WordPress repository and add them to your favorites list.
- Organize: Categorize your favorites if needed to help distinguish between different types of sites, such as e-commerce, blogging, or corporate sites.
- Deploy: When you are ready to install a favorite on a child site, simply navigate to the site within your MainWP Dashboard, select the Favorites tab, and choose the items you wish to install. The extension handles the rest, pulling the files directly from the repository and installing them onto the target site.
