Child plugin missing

Hello.

Just logged in to dash to discover 25 sites disconnected.

I try to reconenct and get the ‘Public key already set. Please deactivate & reactivate the MainWP Child plugin on the child site and try again.’ message that I see referenced in other posts.

Trouble is - the MainWP Child plugin has just gone - not inactive, not needing updated - just plain and simple gone. On all sites!

Any ideas?

Hey @Mat

Welcome to the MainWP community.

I can see from your system report that you’re using the MainWP White Label extension.
Did you perhaps use it to hide the MainWP Child plugin on the child sites?

To try reconnecting the sites - navigate to the Tools page of your Dashboard site (/wp-admin/admin.php?page=MainWPTools), and then click the Reset OpenSSL Key Pair
button.

Then, from the popup window, select one of the disconnected sites and try resetting the key pair. If it works, you can then repeat the process for other sites in bulk.

Thanks very much - all sites now reconnected as per your - very clear - instructions.

A combination of idiot user and White Label was the issue, but not the ‘hide’ toggle - it was that we’d used White Label to change the Display Name so of course the idiot user (me) had forgotten this and was just looking for ‘Main WP Child’ in the installed plugin list.

Thanks again.
