Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Security Ninja For MainWP
It triggers a full security run on the selected child site(s). In the free version, this runs Security Ninja Security Tests and Core Scanner. In the Pro version (with Security Ninja Pro on the child sites), it also runs the Malware Scanner. The scan runs regardless of the Scheduler setting on the child site. After it finishes, sync the site(s) again in MainWP to see updated results (scores, vulnerabilities, scan data) in the dashboard.
Pro only. Pick a synced Security Ninja Pro child as the source, preview per-site diffs, then apply allowlisted settings to the selected targets. Lockout-prone options (blocked countries, rename login URL, 2FA) stay off unless you enable them. Children below 5.285 are skipped with a message. Array settings need 5.297+. Sync afterward.
Pro only (requires MainWP Pro Reports). Sync each site at least once so tokens have data. Tokens: [securityninja.score], [securityninja.vulnerabilities], [securityninja.vulnerabilities.table], [securityninja.tests.table], [securityninja.tests.passed.table], [securityninja.tests.issues.table], [securityninja.tests.passed.count], [securityninja.tests.issues.count], [securityninja.events.table], [securityninja.events.count], [securityninja.month.summary]. The month.summary token can include about 30-day score/vuln progress when daily metrics history exists (filled on sync). Sample client report templates and full token docs: https://wpsecurityninja.com/docs/mainwp/
Pro only. On the Security Ninja for MainWP extension page, open the Settings tab. Enable the optional daily digest, add recipient emails, and choose which rules fire (firewall off, vulnerabilities, malware, low score, stale sync). Unchanged fleet state is not emailed again until something changes. Use Send test email to verify delivery. Mail is sent with WordPress wp_mail from the MainWP dashboard, so the dashboard needs working mail (often an SMTP plugin). Local development sites frequently cannot deliver real email even when WordPress reports success. See https://wpsecurityninja.com/mainwp/ for agency overview.
Pro only. On Extensions → Security Ninja for MainWP. Overview is the default tab (fleet cards and top incidents). Events is the global log. Settings holds fleet email alerts and the metrics/reports history strip. Per-site Security Ninja tabs stay under each site; fleet alerts are not configured per site. Support and Documentation Please refer to our documentation pages for help and technical information on Security Ninja and the integration with MainWP.
