Extension Add-on - This add-on provides standalone functionality within MainWP Dashboard. No third-party plugins required.

The MainWP White Label Extension lets you rebrand the MainWP Child plugin on client sites. You can replace the plugin name and author information with your own branding, hide the plugin entirely from the plugins list, restrict client access to certain WordPress features, and add a branded support contact form.

This extension white labels the MainWP Child plugin only. The MainWP Dashboard plugin cannot be white labeled.

White Label no longer includes child-site plugin and update hiding controls (for example, hiding Plugins/update pages or disabling update checks) due to WordPress.org compliance requirements. See Removed hiding options.

Features Overview

Feature	Description
White Label	Replace plugin name, description, author, and URIs with your own branding
Hide Plugin	Make the MainWP Child plugin invisible in the client’s plugins list
Remove & Disable	Restrict access to selected WordPress and MainWP Child admin areas
WordPress Options	Customize login images, favicons, dashboard widgets, footer text, and admin CSS
Support Form	Add a branded contact form to child site admin areas

White Label the MainWP Child Plugin

Rebrand how the MainWP Child plugin appears in the WordPress plugins list. The same White Label tab and MainWP Child White Label Settings section also includes the option to visually hide the plugin, so you can configure the branding fields, the hide option, or both at the same time.

All Sites (Global)
Single Site

Navigate to White Label settings

Go to MainWP > Add-ons > White Label and select the White Label tab.

Configure the MainWP Child white label settings

Field	Description
Visually hide the MainWP Child plugin	Hide the plugin from the WordPress plugins list
Plugin name	Your custom plugin name
Plugin description	Your custom description
Plugin URI	Link to your website or plugin page
Plugin author	Your name or company name
Author URI	Link to your author page

Save Settings

Click Save Settings to apply changes to all child sites.

Example result: If you set Plugin name to “Demo Name” and Plugin author to “Demo Author”, the plugins list will display:

Leave fields empty (except Plugin name) to hide that information rather than display the original. Hiding the plugin does not disable the other branding fields, so if you use reporting or other areas that still surface the child plugin details, set the branding fields as well so those views use your custom plugin information instead of the default MainWP Child details. To remove white labeling entirely, delete the Plugin name and save.

Reset White Label Options

To reset all white label settings to defaults:

Navigate to White Label

Go to MainWP > Add-ons > White Label.

Reset settings

Scroll to the bottom and click Reset Settings.

Confirm and save

Click Yes in the confirmation popup, then click Save Settings to apply the reset to child sites.

White Label Master Reset

If a child site becomes disconnected and you cannot see the MainWP Child plugin (because it was hidden) or other white label options are stuck, use one of these methods to reset.

Option 1: Reset Tool (Recommended)

Download and install the Reset MainWP Child Plugin Settings plugin on the child site. It resets all MainWP Child settings and deactivates itself automatically.

Remove the reset tool plugin after use for security reasons.

Option 2: Manual Code Edit

Access the child site via FTP

Connect to your child site server.

Locate the MainWP Child class file

Find site_root/wp-content/plugins/mainwp-child/class/class-mainwp-child.php

Edit the file

Find the public function __construct( $plugin_file ) function (around line 210). After the line containing this->update();, add:

delete_option('mainwp_branding_child_hide');

Upload and overwrite

Save and upload the file back to the server, overwriting the original.

Option 3: Functions.php Filter

Add this code to the active theme’s functions.php on the child site:

add_filter( 'mainwp_child_branding_init_options', 'mycustom_mainwp_child_branding_init_options');
function mycustom_mainwp_child_branding_init_options( $opts ) {
    if (is_array($opts) && isset($opts['hide'])) {
        $opts['hide'] = '';
    }
    return $opts;
}

After reconnecting the site, remove this code so the White Label Extension functions properly again.

Exclude Specific Users from White Labeling

The mainwp_child_branding_init_options filter lets you disable white label settings for specific users on child sites.

Exclude by User ID

This example excludes user ID 1 from white label settings:

add_filter( 'mainwp_child_branding_init_options', 'mycustom_mainwp_child_branding_init_options' );
function mycustom_mainwp_child_branding_init_options( $option ) {
   $current_user_id = get_current_user_id();
   if ( $current_user_id == '1' && is_array( $option ) && isset( $option['cancelled_branding'] ) ) {
       $option['cancelled_branding'] = true;
   }
   return $option;
}

Exclude by Username

This example excludes the user “bogdan” from white label settings:

add_filter( 'mainwp_child_branding_init_options', 'mycustom_mainwp_child_branding_init_options' );
function mycustom_mainwp_child_branding_init_options( $option ) {
   $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
   if ( $current_user && $current_user->user_login == 'bogdan' && is_array( $option ) && isset( $option['cancelled_branding'] ) ) {
       $option['cancelled_branding'] = true;
   }
   return $option;
}

Use the MainWP Code Snippets Extension to deploy these filters to all child sites at once.
