What does this plugin do, exactly?

    I installed this plugin thinking or hoping to make multi-site management a bit easier. My define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'example.com'); was already commented out per author instructions from the “Networks for WordPress” plugin.

    So I am not exactly sure what this plugin does. It does display a duplicate listing of my networks on the Sites > Network page that were not listed twice before.

    I am looking around for an easier way to manage my multi-site network of sites, like:
    > ability to login as the super admin once and not have to login to each network as I switch
    > not have to connect to each network and click the Upgrade Network link each time WP updates (once place to upgrade across entire network of sites would be awesome)
    > not have to click the Check Again button on the WordPress Updates screen after I update a theme or a plugin — it would be great if WordPress could figure that out on its own

    Thanks for clarifying how best to use this plugin

    Hi Jose,

    It looks like what you are looking for can be accomplished with just a normal multisite network. This plugin is great for having several subnetworks, all with their own settings, that share a user base and some cross functionality depending up on the way plugins are coded. Let me see if I can point you in the right direction for what you are looking to accomplish.

    1. For the ability to login as a super admin and not have to re-login per network there is a much better solution (which ironically is not compatible with wp-multi-network)
    https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/multi-domains/

    Together with https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/domain-mapping/ you’ll have domains and single sign on covered for your network.

    *One note is that you do need to make sure that you have any domain you want to use in multi domains set up as a wildcard subdomain on your network, i.e., subdomain with an *.subdomain.com.

    2. When wp updates it will ask you to update all existing sits and goes though them automatically form one place by default.

    3. Updating themes and plugins will naturally update across all sites on the network.

    Again, with what you have asked to do, I would suggest a simple WordPress multisite install with activating the single sign-on by wpmudev.
