6.0

Additions

Maintenance and cleanup tools

Added new maintenance options that support Dashboard-initiated maintenance actions, allowing you to selectively clean expired transients or remove all transients from the site.

Password policy management

Added Child-site support for Dashboard-managed password policies, enabling enforcement of password expiration rules when configured from the MainWP Dashboard.

More targeted content synchronization and faster sync payloads

Extended post retrieval to support ID-based filtering for more targeted synchronization. Added caching for recently updated custom posts with automatic invalidation on post changes, and included cached data in sync payloads to improve performance.

Patchstack integration support

Added support for the Patchstack Integration for MainWP, enabling the Child plugin to work with upcoming security features designed to help detect risk signals and strengthen protection for your connected sites through the MainWP Dashboard.

Updates

Smarter plugin update compatibility information

Enhanced plugin update processing to include WordPress and PHP compatibility details for both standard and premium plugin updates when compatibility checks are available.

Improved telemetry integration compatibility

Improved error message handling for better compatibility with the PostHog (MainWP Dashboard Telemetry) integration.

Sites Changes logging defaults and reliability improvements

Disabled cron event tracking as the default value for Sites Changes logging to reduce unnecessary log entries. Improved reliability of version requirement detection by stopping parsing readme.txt and switching to reading requirements from the main plugin file.

Performance-focused child plugin loading and asset handling

Improved initialization and performance by loading only what is needed based on request context, delaying the loading of admin-specific code until required, limiting CSS and JavaScript loading to MainWP-specific pages, separating asset registration from enqueuing, and optimizing jQuery UI loading. Added a helper method to detect MainWP-specific admin pages and introduced a dedicated MainWP_Child_Assets class to handle asset loading.

Fixes

Solid Security settings saving

Fixed saving of Solid Security plugin settings.

Sites Changes tracking stability

Fixed missing user information for certain objects and events in the Sites Changes feature. Fixed an issue with syncing Sites Changes that occurred on some server configurations.

General stability and asset loading fixes

Fixed multiple PHP warnings and notices to ensure cleaner operation. Fixed an issue where the Child plugin could not load jQuery libraries on the Clone/Restore page due to incorrect conditional logic, and resolved an error when attempting to load non-existent assets.

Developer updates

Dependency updates

Updated the PHPSecLib package to the latest versions to maintain security and compatibility standards.
