What it does
When WooCommerce or Elementor ships an update, it often needs a matching database upgrade before everything works as expected. On one site that is a quick click. Across a network of client sites, it means logging into each dashboard, finding the notice and running the upgrade by hand. This extension moves that job into your MainWP Dashboard, where a dedicated Database Updates tab lists every Child site that has a pending database update.
From that tab you can update many sites at once with a bulk action, or pick individual sites when you want more control, such as holding back a staging copy. Each Child site can also be opened and updated with an Update Now button. It works inside your existing MainWP setup with no extra plugins or APIs, and it is part of the MainWP Pro Bundle, which suits developers and agencies already managing sites through MainWP.
Best for
- Agencies managing many WooCommerce or Elementor client sites
- Freelancers who maintain sites through a MainWP Dashboard
- Site managers handling store and page builder maintenance
Features
Central database update management
Handle WooCommerce and Elementor database updates for all your Child sites from the MainWP Dashboard instead of visiting each site separately.

Bulk updates
Run database updates on multiple Child sites at the same time when you want to clear a batch of pending upgrades quickly.
Selective site updates
Choose specific sites to update and leave others alone, which helps when you need to treat staging or sensitive sites differently.
