Multisite installation doesn't work for single site managers

    The settings page for this plugin is on the network level, whereas on our multisite installation with 500+ sites, we would like it to be on site level, so site admins who only have access to their sites, not the whole network would then be able to use your plugin.

    add_action( is_multisite() ? 'network_admin_menu' : 'admin_menu', array( $this, 'add_plugin_page' ) );

    We understand for _some_ multisite environments, the above method may be convenient, but we’re pretty sure we would not be alone in wanting per-site settings pages.

    Thanks for your attention!

    Happy to make this change. I am actually fairly unfamiliar with Multisite WordPress. Is the short answer to this question to just add the plugin at the admin_menu level no matter what?

    VHX, apologies for late reply here!

    I think there are 2 approaches to multisite, the one would be maybe where all the sites were connected in some way, owned by one organization perhaps, and the other where all sites were separate, as in a hosting situation, each site wanting different plugins. We have the latter, so for us, ‘admin_menu’ is what we need, whereas others may like the convenience of setting things once for their whole network.

    This would be a philosophical choice for you though, as I could only speak for our multisite use which may be very different to others.

    Also, should mention our client moved on and implemented a link with a script in one of their posts instead, so won’t be using the plugin after all.

    Thank you for your insight. I will do some research on the best way to surface the option for where the plugin lives on a multisite dashboard and hopefully ship that change with the next iteration of the plugin.
