 * Hello,
 * Currently, I’m trying to setup a multisite network on my WordPress website (www.
   polyglotsdiary.com). There are several tutorials on the internet on how to do
   that. I used this blog post -> [http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-and-setup-wordpress-multisite-network/](http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-and-setup-wordpress-multisite-network/)
 * However, after adding the required code in the wp-config.php file, I don’t see
   the option ‘network setup’ under tools. What do I have to do?
 * Could you please help me? Do you have experienced the same and how did you solve
   that?

   Have you verified you have added the
 *     ```
        /* Multisite */
       define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true ); 
       ```
   
 * correctly right above the line
 * `/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */`
 * in the wp-config.php file??
 * Coz this is what is brings the ‘network setup’ menu item, which will then instruct
   you on how to move on to the next required step. If this is not correctly done,
   you can’t proceed.
 * Read more here:
    [https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)
 * I have 10+ websites that are multisite, and I have been doing it the ‘Create_A_Networt’
   way.
 * If you continue facing challenges, feel free to speak.

 * I have put
 *     ```
        /* Multisite */
       define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true ); 
       ```
   
 * in the wp-plugin.php file right above the line
    `/* That's all, stop editing!
   Happy blogging. */` in the wp-config.php file.
 * Because this is what I have read in the manual that I attached.
 * However, I still don’t see the network setup menu appearing when I sign in…

 * …& you’re signing into your WordPress install an Admin? and not forgetting clearing
   your browser cache as well??

 * That code is supposed to go into the wp-config.php file rather than wp-plugin.
   php.
