Child sites disconnected

I have had 2 child sites become disconnected. When I try to reconnect them I receive and error “MainWP Child plugin not detected. First, install and activate the plugin and add your site to your MainWP Dashboard afterward. If you continue experiencing this issue, check the child site for known plugin conflicts, or check the MainWP Community for help.”

I have tried resetting the Unique ID but it does not work. I have checked the known plugin conflicts and I do not have either WP Cerber security or iThemes security installed. How can I reconnect my sites?

Can you 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.

Hi @larryjam, the system report looks fine. Nothing unusual in there.

  • Can you tell me what response do you get if your Test Connection for those 2 sites?
  • Do you use Cloudflare or any other cloud proxy for these sites?
  • Are there any other security plugins on sites?
  • Are both sites on the same server?
  • Both sites get a response of Connection successful when performing a test
  • I do not use Cloudflare or any other cloud proxy on either site.
  • I do not use any security plugins on either site
  • Yes both sites are on the same server (Digital Ocean via Cloudways)

@larryjam

Would you mind opening a private Help Desk ticket so we can collect some additional information & investigate further?
