Groups not displaying properly in 4.1.12

All sites show up on the right hand side regardless of whether or not they are tied to a group.

I cannot bulk adjust my sites according to a specific group(s), I have to get into each site to adjust the groups.

Hi Kingsley,

I am not 100% sure that I understand the problem.
Can you please post more details or maybe a screenshot where I can see the problem?

Hi Bogdan, thanks for getting in touch. I’ll explain better.

The problem
I currently have 4 sites in my new MainWP instance, version 4.1.12. I have also created a number of groups.

As you can see from this image (1), when I click on a group with 0 domains added to it, all 4 of my domains still show up on the left.

Surely that should display 0 domains on the left.

Then look at this image (2), when I click on a group with 1 domain in it, I still get all 4 of my domains showing on the left.
Fyi, I get an error on this MainWP forum saying I cannot embed more than 1 media as a new user. I will repost in another reply… When can I upload more than on media?

  • I cannot remove one or more domains from a group, unless I go into the specific site and manually remove it.
  • This is completely useless as I cannot bulk edit my domains per their groups.

I hope this explains better, I notice that this issue is not present on older MainWP versions with the old UI.

Hi @Kingsley ,

All of you child sites should always be displayed in the table on the left.

When you click on a Group name in the Metabox on the right, the sites that belong to that group will have a checkbox next to them in the table on the left. See my screenshot:

To add or remove a site from a Group, you click on the Group name on the right, then select or deselect the Child sites in the table on the left, and click Save Selection.

@bojan I assumed that may be the case, as it’s the most logical expectation. However, as you can see from my screenshot, none of them gets checked.

This only started happening to me in 4.1.12, both on localhost and remote. Are your examples from v4.1.12?

Yes, I made that screenshot on v4.1.12, so the issue you face is an isolated one.

I would suggest that you delete present groups and create them again. Then add Child sites to the groups in the manner I’ve explained in the previous post.

If you’re still facing the issue, please post the community system report from your MainWP Dashboard for review. The report is located in your Dashboard under Status → Server, on the top right of the page.

Be sure to use the button like the one below; this button hides all your private information:

Pressing the button auto-copies the report to your clipboard then just paste it in a reply here.

Yes, the way you mentioned is exactly how I added them initially.

I deleted all groups and tried again, it’s still the same issue.

MainWP is the only plugin on my both my local and remote WordPress instances. I’m using WordPress 5.9.2 running Astra theme.

Here is the report:

A potential cause could be the reported Memory Usage of 40.93MB going over the WordPress Memory Limit set at 40MB. I’d recommend increasing it to at least 64MB.

You can find instructions on how to do that here: Resolving System Requirement Issues - MainWP Documentation

I’ve implemented the necessary changes to both remote and local server. My PHP info confirms the changes but MainWP is still showing the warnings in the server status. Why is this, do I need to refresh something on MainWP?

@bojan Okay, so I’ve resolved your suggestion by adding define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); in wp-config.php and setting memory_limit = 256M in my php.ini for my server.

The issue with groups is still present. Here is the latest MainWP System Report:
