# multisite not working – potential solution

 * revisited LL again after I put it aside months ago because it would not work 
   flawless on multisites.
 * With renewed energy I tried to re-install all new versions of WP and LL only 
   to find it works fine on my local single WP, but still fails on my Multisites.
 * Here are my findings so far:
 * adding an echo for $linkquery around line 1800 in link-library.php revealed that
   link moderation relies on a fairly complex sql search as follows:
 * SELECT distinct * FROM wp_41_terms t LEFT JOIN wp_41_term_taxonomy tt ON (t.term_id
   = tt.term_id) LEFT JOIN wp_41_term_relationships tr ON (tt.term_taxonomy_id =
   tr.term_taxonomy_id) LEFT JOIN wp_41_links l ON (tr.object_id = l.link_id) LEFT
   JOIN wp_41_links_extrainfo le ON (l.link_id = le.link_id) WHERE tt.taxonomy =‘
   link_category’AND l.link_description like ‘%LinkLibrary:AwaitingModeration:RemoveTextToApprove%’
   ORDER by link_name ASC
 * looking further into my database I notice that the DB table wp_41_links_extrainfo
   simply does not exist. This prevents LL from working correctly. I also noticed
   the main site DOES have a wp_links_extrainfo table.
 * In an effort to solve problems through blunt force I copied the wp_links_extrainfo
   into a wp_41_links_extrainfo table. After this LinkLibrary seems to perform a
   lot better in multisite although other problems persist, e.g. when submitting
   a new link it shows up double in the moderation lists.
 * Either way, with creation of a extrainfo table in each site it seems LL should
   work. Question now to the developer :
 * When/where is forementioned table created, and why would it not be created for
   each site ?
    It’s probably a simple solution (maybe changing the use of $this-
   >db_prefix() in favor of $wpdb->prefix around line 156 ???) But I assume Yannick(?)
   is better equipped to launch an update.

 * I have another user who has been actively working at correcting Link Library 
   to work on multi-site installations. I will publish an update to address these
   issues as soon as possible.

 * Dear Yannick,
 * I really love this plug-in. I am planning to build up huge link library. Therefore
   I definitely need the automatic thumbnail generation tool – but on a multisite
   environment.
 * Can you look forward if this issue might be resolved soon?
    I’m really looking
   forward to using this plugin. Can you help us multisite hoster?
 * Thank you so much,
    Ronen
