Hat Tip to @jandrwallace for pushing for this

WP Cerber - Security Plugin

@jandrwallace

WP Cerber security plug-in.
In order for MainWP to find a child site running WP Cerber, I had to disable Cerber until after the dashboard found it. I could then re-enable Cerber on the child site, and MainWP still worked…but for the following caveats.

In order for MainWP to work, the child site’s security whitelist needs to include the IP of the server that your MainWP master admin is on.

By looking at your Cerber Activity Dashboard of the child site after you have asked the MainWP master to update a child site, you will see “Form Submission Denied” errors from your host server. You will need to take the IP that it shows and add it to your whitelist. After doing this, MainWP can now update my child plugins.

iThemes Security - Security Plugin

If you are having trouble accessing the child site via your MainWP Dashboard disable “filter long URL strings” under “System Tweaks” and the problem should be resloved.

WordFence - Security Plugin
