 * I am looking for a plugin that I can use to have the same settings of plugins
   across all of my sites. Such as the same look of dashboard. Like what [this plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yd-wpmu-sitewide-options/)
   does but an updated version of it.

 * I think the best option is to go with one of the multisite clone plugins. Multisite
   Clone Duplicator, Multisite Cloner, NS Cloner. I think all have settings to only
   make new blogs as a copy of one default blog. So you would have a sort of template
   or master blog to clone from and it doesn’t have to be public. You can set it
   to be “archived” so that people don’t see it and it doesn’t get messed with/changed.
   Only used for cloning.

 * [@jhnpldng](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jhnpldng/): I haven’t tried that
   before (have cloned, but not with all the settings)– does the cloning really 
   copy all the plugin settings? And will it even include things like license keys?
 * I use this one to make a default set of plugins active on new sites, but I don’t
   think it will control settings.

 * Exact clones right down to API keys.

 * Hi, I am trying to do the same thing.
 * I already have a single site (that is outwith the multi-site), will I be able
   to import the plugin settings from my single site to the new base multi-site 
   site that will act as the basis of all my new sites (I am moving from a single
   site installation to a multi-site installation).
 * Cheers
