• Have multi-networked a plug-in & it’s installed/available in the editor of the primary site, but it’s not in my sub site. Can’t figure out what to do to make it available. Any tips would be appreciated.

  • Hey there

    What is the plugin? Some plugins do not work as expected when you “Network activate” them. Some are coded to only have settings within the main Site but will affect the whole network. If you do not network activate it, you can activate on a subsite level and should then have settings in each subsite (Unless the plugin is only intended for network activation)

    Yes, from Mike’s post there are a couple of things you should know about WordPress plugins that “network activate.”

    If when you install the plugin, it does not say “network activate,” that means you have to go to each individual subsite and activate it on its own.

    If when you install the plugin, it says “network activate,” then once you activate it, it will be available to all subsites. However, sometimes a network activated plugins Setting panel will be added as an additional listing on your Dashboard view, left sidebar. Or, the plugin author may add the settings for that plugin under the Dashboard > Settings view or the Tools > View. You may have to look for the Settings panel in a location that is not immediately obvious to you. It depends on the plugin and how the plugin author decides to link that plugins admin to the master admin for that site.
