Can't connect child site

    I have installed MainWP plugin on my site and child plugin on several other sites and all of them connected successfully except one. It says it can not find child plugin on that site, but the test connection works (HTTP 200) and I’m sure the child plugin is installed and activated.

    What could be wrong? Can someone explain how the sites are connected, I guess the main plugin “pings” child on some url (what url?) and child plugin records main site’s (IP?) address as its “master”….

    If the test connection is showing a 200 response and you have verified the IP that your Dashboard is correct then you need to look for possible security plugins or hosting security blocking your connection.

    If it is still an issue after that open a ticket a support.mainwp.com

    Is it possible that child website (hosting) is blocking incoming connections on a certain URI? Is the test connection making check to the website root (http://site.com) and not to the actual connection URI?

    Is there a possibility to check connection manually from PHP (e.g. you tell me to make a post/get request to certain URI) so I can debug it?

    The dashboard tries to connect to “url/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php”, if this fails it falls back to try “url”. The POST message we send is the same message we use in the test connection – however some hosts block certain keywords.

    So if the Test Connection is successful and the actual connection is not that most likely means the host has some kind of security mod enabled for apache (or whatever the webserver you are on). This can be hard to debug yourself.
