Description
The URL Extractor addon adds a scanning tool to MainWP that collects external links scattered across child sites connected to the central dashboard, grouping URLs found in posts, pages, comments, and custom fields into a unified list. The extension is designed for agencies and WordPress network administrators who need to audit external links in bulk, identify broken references, and export URL reports without inspecting each site individually.
