Title: Network settings missing Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Network settings missing * [cinematic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cinematic/) * (@cinematic) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-settings-missing/) * I have installed a brand new wp 3.0 alpha and can’t find any link to the network settings … tools lists only import and export. Is it only me?

You need to add this to your wp-config.php * `define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);` * See [http://lists.automattic.com/pipermail/wp-testers/2010-March/012212.html](http://lists.automattic.com/pipermail/wp-testers/2010-March/012212.html) * [moderated code fixed] * Thread Starter [cinematic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cinematic/) * (@cinematic) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-settings-missing/#post-1419234) * Ah … there it is … thanks a lot for this info! I didn’t take notice of that and wondered where the network tab was … * (maybe it would be a good idea to include this tag in config.php so that the line only needs to be set true in order to be used?) * Thread Starter [cinematic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cinematic/) * (@cinematic) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-settings-missing/#post-1419237) * I just added the tag to config.php and it didn’t change anything at all. Only after an automated update to the latest nightly build the network tab showed up. Could it be that the tag only works if being set _before_ installation? Then I can imagine that this change will cause some confusion … * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-settings-missing/#post-1419280) * `WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE` wasn’t available via the nightly build until late March 9th (or early March 10, 2010). Prior to that it was `WP_ENABLE_MULTISITE` — but they renamed it to `WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE` — that’s what the testers thread was all about. * [ruhig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/derx/) * (@derx) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-settings-missing/#post-1419471) * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’ in /usr/www/users/ooooo/ooo/wp2/wp- config.php on line 36 * What did I do wrong? * Is it to late after the Installation? * [kpdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kpdesign/) * (@kpdesign) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-settings-missing/#post-1419472) * Open wp-config.php and change the line MichaelH had you add to this: * `define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);` * The error is due to a colon at the end of that line – should be a semi-colon. * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/network-settings-missing/#post-1419473) * Good catch kpdesign.
