 * The plugin works as supposed in my base site, but when I try to create a subdomain
   site I get a total crash with error 503. It is related to this plug-in since 
   creating subdomain sites works when I deactivate it.
 * wordpress 6.0
    php 7.4
 * everything else is updated to latest versions
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcrashes-multisite-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Approximately how many subdomains do you have on your multisite? I’m aware of
   a [bug](https://github.com/kylegilman/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/issues/483)
   that will timeout on large multisites but I haven’t been able to duplicate it
   myself and I haven’t had much time to work on the plugin recently. You might 
   be able to get around the problem by creating subdomains with the plugin deactivated,
   then re-activating after the subdomain is created. But it might not work then
   either. You could also try increasing your PHP max_execution_time.

 * none.
    this is the first subdomain that I create, so I only have the base.
 * I tried to activate it in the subdomain site and that worked. Will investigate
   further if there are other side effects.

 * There’s a big difference in activation routines between network-activated plugins
   and plugins that are activated in a subdomain. I haven’t done much with the network-
   activated stuff in several years so it sounds like something has changed, either
   with newer PHP versions or newer WordPress versions. I haven’t tested with 6.0
   yet so that could be the culprit.
