MainWP Child Reports

83 Quality Score

Active Installs

23/30

With 100,000 active installs it has meaningful reach inside the MainWP ecosystem, though it remains a niche tool tied to one parent product rather than the general WordPress market.

Update Freshness

25/25

It was updated within days of our review and is tested against WordPress 7.0, which is the strongest possible maintenance signal.

User Rating

13/15

A score of 86 out of 100 from 6 reviewers is positive, but the small sample size limits how much weight that rating should carry in a decision.

Support Health

8/15

There are zero support threads and zero resolutions in our data, which suggests either very few issues or very little public discussion; either way, support health is essentially unproven.

WP Compatibility

15/15

WordPress 6.0 minimum, PHP 7.4 minimum, and tested up to WordPress 7.0 give it full compatibility marks for current environments.

What It Does

MainWP Child Reports is a companion plugin that runs on each child site in a MainWP network, tracking activity and changes so the MainWP Pro Reports extension on your dashboard can generate consolidated client reports. It is not a standalone reporting tool; it simply captures the data that the parent extension needs.

Who It's For

This plugin is built for agencies, freelancers, and hosting providers who already use MainWP to manage many WordPress sites and subscribe to the Pro Reports extension for branded client deliverables. If you need scheduled, polished reports across a fleet of client installations, this is the data collector that feeds them.

Who Should Skip It

If you manage a single site, do not use MainWP at all, or only need basic reporting through other means, this plugin adds no value and will simply sit idle on your installs.

The Bottom Line

MainWP Child Reports is a well-maintained, narrowly focused utility that does exactly one job: feeding data to the MainWP Pro Reports extension. Outside that workflow it is useless, so the value calculation is really about whether you already pay for Pro Reports, not about this plugin in isolation.

Pick Key Maker instead if your specific need is remotely activating MainWP Child on a large batch of new sites rather than generating ongoing activity reports.
