The MainWP File Uploader Extension is a powerful tool that simplifies the process of uploading files across multiple WordPress sites from a central MainWP dashboard. This extension is especially beneficial for website owners, developers, or agencies managing multiple WordPress sites, allowing them to upload and manage files, such as themes, plugins, media, and other types of content, all in one place.
Key Features of the MainWP File Uploader Extension:
- Bulk File Upload:
- The extension allows you to upload files (including themes, plugins, media files, or any other content) to multiple WordPress sites at once directly from the MainWP dashboard. This saves time compared to uploading files to each site individually.
- Multiple Site Support:
- You can choose to upload files to one or multiple sites at once. This feature is highly beneficial if you manage several websites, as it allows for easy distribution of files across all sites without the need to log into each site individually.
- File Type Flexibility:
- The extension supports the upload of various types of files, including images, videos, audio files, themes, plugins, or any other type of file that needs to be distributed across your WordPress sites.
- Easy File Management:
- Once files are uploaded, you can manage them through the MainWP dashboard, including organizing them into specific folders or categories. This ensures that all your uploaded files are properly organized and easy to find.
- Automatic Installation of Themes and Plugins:
- When uploading theme or plugin files, the extension can automatically install them on the selected WordPress sites, which saves you from having to manually install them after uploading.
- Error Handling:
- The File Uploader Extension notifies you if there’s any issue with the file upload process, such as failed uploads or unsupported file types. This helps you stay informed and address problems quickly.
- Customizable File Settings:
- You can configure specific settings for the files you are uploading. For example, you can choose whether to overwrite existing files, whether to install plugins or themes immediately after upload, or whether to simply upload files without installation.
- Upload Large Files:
- The extension allows you to upload large files, which is essential for sites with large media libraries or when managing themes and plugins that are too large to be uploaded through traditional WordPress methods.
- Seamless Integration with MainWP:
- The File Uploader Extension integrates directly with the MainWP dashboard, making it easy to manage and upload files without leaving the MainWP interface. This makes it a seamless addition to your WordPress site management workflow.
