# Not compatible with Multisite WordPress

 * Hi,
    I cannot use the plugin in a multisite setup. The first thing blocking is
   that in WPMU, we do not have the update_plugins permission your plugin relies
   on.
 * Is it possible for you to make this plugin compatible with Multisite wordpress
   environment?
    NB, in wpmu, we can set the upload path setting for each site, 
   but if omitted, the default upload path for a given site_id is : <network_root
   >/wp-content/uploads/sites/<site_id>/
 * Best regards.

 * Hi [@amirhmoradi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amirhmoradi/), thank you
   for the detailed explanation. I’ll try to make that adjustment as soon as I find
   some time.
 * I’ll make an update here.

 * Hi [@amirhmoradi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amirhmoradi/),
 * I just pushed new version 1.0.3 which requires `import` capability (permission)
   instead of `update_plugins`.
 * Please let me know if it works for you.
 * Thanks,
    Erol

 * Hi, thanks for your update.
    The plugin installs and runs but cannot find the
   upload path. It adds a duplicate /sites/<site_id> at the end of a supposed uploads
   path and resulting finally in : /wp-content/uploads/sites/<site_id>/sites/<site_id
   >
 * And so it cannot find any files
 * Thanks.

 * Looks like it’s because WordPress automatically always adds `/sites/<site_id>`
   at the end. So adding that part to custom “Upload Path” is not needed.
 * In fact, adding it broke uploading to Media Library.
 * I tried changing “Upload Path” to: `/<full_path>/wp-content/uploads/sites/3`,
   went to default Media Library and uploaded new file. And it was broken (image
   not found). Then I checked what happened and WordPress itself uploaded it to `/
   sites/<site_id>/sites/<site_id>`.
 * So as far as I can see, this plugin is consistent with Media Library.
 * And to summarise, changing “Upload Path” value from:
    `/<full_path>/wp-content/
   uploads/sites/3` to: `/<full_path>/wp-content/uploads` should fix this issue.
