MainWP Browser Extension Extension

Do you often want to stay informed about the available updates without logging into your MainWP Dashboard?

Look no further, this MainWP Chrome extension is designed to help you easily keep track of available updates across all your connected Child Sites, including changes to your plugins and themes status done outside your Dashboard.
With this extension, you also gain the ability to control how often it retrieves updates from your MainWP Dashboard.

You can choose intervals as short as 15 minutes or as long as once a day, giving you the flexibility to stay informed at your preferred frequency without logging into your MainWP Dashboard.

➤ Features
Stay informed on WordPress core, plugins, themes, & translation updates
Automatically fetch the number of available updates for all Child Sites
Connect to the Time Tracker (MainWP Pro Feature)
Easily set the updates check time-interval
Manually fetch available updates count
Track the number of changes made outside of your MainWP Dashboard
Quickly jump into the desired Dashboard page to take action on updates
Supports all Chromium-based browsers
Easily connect using MainWP REST API

➤ How it Works
Login to your MainWP Dashboard and navigate to the “REST API” menu from the left pane.
Click “Add API Keys”. Make sure the “Enable REST API key” is toggled ON.
Write “Description”, for example: “My Brower extension keys”.
Install this extension, and click on the MainWP icon in your browser to open the settings for the extension.
From your MainWP Dashboard REST API screen, copy “Consumer Key” and “Consumer Secret” and paste them on the extension.
Hit “Save Settings” on your MainWP Dashboard, then click “Save Settings” on the extension.

Voila! Your MainWP Dashboard is now connected to your extension.
