tl;dr version: WP Ultimo 1.6.2 brings some fixes reported since the last release, including the AffiliateWP table error on sign-up. It also adds CPanel support to the list of supported domain mapping integrations. We’re launching a brand new add-on that allows admins to add pages to the sub-sites admin panel and new versions of our MailChimp and AffiliateWP integrations are out.
Hello everyone!
I worked in a bunch of different stuff the past few days that I want to share with you all!
New Add-on – WP Ultimo: Admin Page Creator
Adding new pages and sub-pages to the admin panel of your clients can be a complicated task if you do not have the necessary coding skills. Coupling that with access control, like only allowing certain plans or roles to access that page brings things to a whole other level in terms of complexity. WP Ultimo: Admin Page Creator aims to fix that.
It adds a simple, but powerful UI to your Network Admin, allowing you to create pages and sub-pages for the back-end with the same ease you do for the front-end. It also offers custom HTML, CSS and JavaScript support, as well as access control based on plan and user role!

WP Ultimo 1.6.2
This version is just a patch release, so not much going on in terms of new features. However, this version address two major issues users complain about for a long time: super admins no longer get removed from the main site when adding a new one and we also fixed the duplication error some users were having during the sign-up flow when AffiliateWP is active on the template sites.
CPanel Support
This version also adds CPanel to the list of supported platforms for mapped domain syncing. Now, every new mapped domain gets automatically added as an Add-on Domain on CPanel. Network admins need to add come configuration to their wp-config.php to get this to work. Here’s a tutorial detailed the steps required.
If you want us to add support to another platform, please let us know in the comments below. Unfortunately, due to their API limitations, we are not able to implement a similar feature for Kinsta and Flywheel.

Well done Arindo, some great improvements! Will test the cPanel and AffilateWP integrations over the weekend. I already know the admin pages work 😉

Excellent work Arindo, you continue to improve WP Ultimo and I am glad I found this fantastic addon over a year ago to invest early great tools to help with selling websites.
Thank you! The admin page creator sounds very promising, looking forward to playing with that.
The cPanel integration is really, really awesome to see, as a cPanel user it makes a super compelling reason to just use Ultimo’s Domain Mapping instead of any other option. My only remaining concern about changing my current domain mapping solution is that the permalinks of domain mapped sites use the mapped domain URL (not the original network URL)… hoping that this has been silently addressed in v1.6.2
Cheers, Max
