 * I network activated this plugin but the settings for it only appear on the individual
   sites. Shouldn’t I be able to see settings in the admin view?

 * Yes, and in fact, if using in a mutlisite network-activated config, you should
   ONLY be able to access the settings from the network dashboard.
 *  Can you give me some ideas on what version of WordPress you’re running, PHP 
   versions, domain-based or directory-based mutlisite, etc?

 * I just tested on a multisite, and even if I attempt to activate it on a single
   site, it defaults back to only showing the settings in the Network Dashboard –
   > plugins area (since there is only one user store in a multisite). Definitely
   going to need some additional details on your specific configuration.

 * ok, it shouldn’t be any of those items causing an issue. Do you have the constant`
   WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE` defined in your wp-config.php file (or wherever your environment
   allows you to set up WordPress configuration settings)? wpDirAuth uses that constant
   and the existence of the function `switch_to_blog` to determine that it is in
   a multisite environment. If either of those are missing, it would think it’s 
   in a single instance.

 * The lines in my config file that deal with multisite are:
    `define ('MULTISITE','
   1');` and `define( 'MULTISITE', true );`
 * I’ll add what you suggested to see if that works.

 * Add
    `define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );` to your config file and then see
   if it starts working in network mode.

 * perfect. glad it’s working now for you. Seems there are numerous ways to make
   wordpress “work” in multisite mode. Might have to go back and make some adjustments
   to account for the multiple methods.
