In this document, we will go over how to add a new column to the Manage Sites table.
cURL Version column example
In this case we will add a new “cURL Version” column to the Manage Sites table but with the correct code snippet you can change it to fit your needs.
Install MainWP Custom Dashboard extension
Navigate to your MainWP Dashboard > Extensions > Custom Dashboard
Open PHP tab
Add the following code snippet:
add_filter( 'mainwp_sitestable_getcolumns', 'mycustom_sites_table_column', 10 ); function mycustom_sites_table_column( $cols ) { $cols['child_curl_version'] = 'cURL Version'; return $cols; } add_filter( 'mainwp_sitestable_item', 'mycustom_sitestable_item', 10 ); function mycustom_sitestable_item( $item ) { $options = apply_filters( 'mainwp_getwebsiteoptions', array(), $item['id'], 'site_info' ); $website_info = json_decode( $options, true ); if ( is_array( $website_info ) && isset( $website_info['child_curl_version' ] ) ) { $item[ 'child_curl_version' ] = $website_info[ 'child_curl_version' ]; } else { $item[ 'child_curl_version' ] = ''; } return $item; }Click the Save Changes button
Navigate to the Sites > Manage Sites page, and verify that the column has been added.
Drag and drop it to the desired spot. If it’s placed near the beginning of the table, it will also be visible in the mobile version without expanding the Child Site row.

How to add a “Go to site” icon to Manage Sites table
In this document, we will go over how to add a ‘Go to site’ icon to the Manage Sites table.
This may be useful if you don’t have a URL column in your table, but would still like to be able to quickly open a Child Site in a new tab.
Additionally, since the icon takes up less space than a URL, it can also be visible in the mobile version of the table without expanding the Child Site row.
Install MainWP Custom Dashboard extension
Navigate to your MainWP Dashboard > Extensions > Custom Dashboard
Open PHP tab
Add the following code snippet
add_filter( 'mainwp_sitestable_getcolumns', 'mycustom_mainwp_sitestable_getcolumns', 10, 1 ); function mycustom_mainwp_sitestable_getcolumns( $columns ) { $columns['front_page_link'] = ''; return $columns; } add_filter( 'mainwp_sitestable_item', 'mycustom_mainwp_sitestable_item', 10, 1 ); function mycustom_mainwp_sitestable_item( $item ) { $item['front_page_link'] = ''; return $item; }Click the Save Changes button
Navigate to the Sites > Manage Sites page, and verify that the column has been added.
Drag and drop it to the desired spot. If it’s placed near the beginning of the table, it will also be visible in the mobile version without expanding the Child Site row.
