## 常见问题

### Is the MainWP Child Plugin required to use MainWP?

Yes, the MainWP Child plugin must be installed on each WordPress site you want to
connect to your MainWP Dashboard.

### Can I hide the MainWP Child plugin from the WordPress admin?

Yes, you can use the MainWP White Label extension to hide the MainWP Child plugin
from the WordPress admin on your connected sites.

### How does MainWP compare to ManageWP?

While MainWP and ManageWP offer similar features, MainWP is self-hosted and open-
source, providing more control and flexibility. Learn more about the differences
between [MainWP and ManageWP](https://mainwp.com/managewp-vs-mainwp/).

### How does MainWP compare to WP Umbrella?

Both MainWP and WP Umbrella offer features for managing multiple WordPress sites,
but MainWP is self-hosted and open-source, while WP Umbrella is a SaaS platform 
hosted on their servers. MainWP’s open architecture provides greater control and
flexibility. Discover more differences between [MainWP and WP Umbrella](https://mainwp.com/wp-umbrella-vs-mainwp/).

### How does MainWP compare to InfiniteWP?

MainWP and InfiniteWP are both self-hosted WordPress management solutions. However,
MainWP is open-source, allowing for code review and extensibility, while InfiniteWP’s
Admin Panel is not open-source and obfuscates its code. MainWP also offers a comprehensive
set of features tailored for agencies and freelancers managing client sites. Explore
the differences between [MainWP and InfiniteWP](https://mainwp.com/infinitewp-vs-mainwp/).

### How does MainWP compare to WPRemote?

MainWP and WPRemote are both WordPress management solutions, but they differ in 
their approach and feature set. MainWP is a self-hosted, open-source plugin that
gives you full control over your data and offers a wide range of features. WP Remote
is a cloud-based service that stores your data on its servers, which may be a concern
for some users who prioritize data ownership, security, and GDPR. Learn more about
the differences between [MainWP and WPRemote](https://mainwp.com/wpremote-vs-mainwp/).

### Is MainWP secure?

Yes, security is a top priority for MainWP. We adhere to WordPress security best
practices, and our code is open-source and available for review on GitHub. We also

I installed this plugin on each of the sites I manage to connect them to my self-

location. It saves a bunch of time and it makes management simple and easy.

   to improve stability in environments where multiple components manage output
