The MainWP Favorites Extension is an official extension of the MainWP ecosystem designed for agencies, developers, and administrators who manage multiple WordPress sites from a single dashboard. Its purpose is to eliminate the time wasted searching, remembering, and locating the plugins and themes most frequently used in each project.
This extension allows you to store your favorite plugins and themes directly in your MainWP Dashboard, creating a personal and organized library that is always available for immediate installation on any of your managed sites. Unlike the WordPress.org favorites API, all your data is stored locally in your own dashboard, ensuring your privacy remains intact at all times.
One of its most powerful features is custom group management. You can create multiple groups of plugins and themes based on any criteria that fits your workflow: specific stacks per client, site types (blogs, stores, membership sites), security, performance, or SEO packages, or even your default setup for new installations. This allows you to install an entire group of plugins or themes at once, instead of one by one.
The extension also streamlines the individual installation process: you can quickly install a specific plugin or theme from your favorites, or deploy entire groups to one or multiple sites simultaneously. Additionally, you will always have the latest versions of your preferred tools ready to install, without needing to search the WordPress.org repository.
The setup process is quick and flexible: you can add plugins and themes to your favorites at any time, either during installation on a child site or via manual upload. The interface is clean and intuitive, and it integrates perfectly with MainWP's native workflow.
In short, the MainWP Favorites Extension turns plugin and theme management into a structured and repeatable system. If you manage multiple WordPress sites and want to reduce configuration errors, speed up the deployment of new projects, and maintain total consistency across your sites, this extension is the tool you need to take your productivity to the next level.
