 * I tried to install the multisite plugin manager and could not see the network
   admin page. Then I activated the wp-config multisite and now all I get are 404
   errors and even when I deactivate the plugins it still shows up with the network
   admin link but I can’t reach any sub menus…all go to 404 error.

 * One more thing. Now the multisite plugin manager is set to Network only in the
   plug ins section.

 * It sounds like you maybe tried to install this on a non-multisite?
 * If you already had multisite enabled and working then i’m not sure what this 
   issue you are reporting. This plugin is a network only plugin, so you will only
   be able to network activate it. Then configure the settings in the network admin
   area of your site.

 * Hi Aaron,
 * Thanks for replying to me. I enabled multisite using the WPCF Editor multisite
   tab. It allows me to create new sites now but when I try to manage them through
   the dashboard it gives me a 404 error.

 * That would be unrelated to this plugin.
 * Most likely you still need to update your rewrite rules, and maybe DNS too if
   you chose a subdomain setup. Review the multisite setup instructions well [https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)
