So, think I found cause of this in my case…
The main site was set to “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” as it is a DEV site. Turning this back on prevents this behaviour.
This won’t be an issue for me on my live site as this will be indexed, but thought I should comment back here on this in case it affects anyone else.
This was working for me, but found a similar error on deleting a site.
I had to Network Deactivate the plugin to delete the site. After doing so, I got the error “Multisite Global Search requires multisite installation. Please create a network first, or deactivate Multisite Global Search.” and was unable to reactivate the plugin.
Creating a new site allowed me to reactivate the plugin.
I can replicate this by deactivating a site (plugin breaks) and reactivating it (plugin works again.)
I’d be grateful for any ideas?
(On Version 1.2.11 of plugin, WordPress 3.5.2)
Hi
Thanks for providing so much detail.
The process of testing is complicated by the way this site is hosted (by someone else). Now I’ve completed the site update (using the the_widget workaround) however, I will have time to test as you suggest.
I’ll report back here if I find anything that might help explain what is going on.
Given the lack of reports of this affecting anyone else, and it working fine on my local dev server clone of the live site, it seems increasingly likely that it is related to our hosting setup, rather than your plugin.
Regards,
Steve
To update, as a workaround I used WP ‘the_widget’ function in my page template to call NLP. Seems to work as expected in page as it does in the sidebar.
So, in the 2nd (currently unstyled) instance of NLP at bottom of this page:
http://involve.netsightdev.co.uk/wp/nlp/The title links work as expected with ‘full_meta’.
I still have no idea why the shortcode isn’t working and neither do my web hosts. The local clone of the same site has always worked.
Is this a reasonable workaround, in your opinion?

Hi – thanks for getting back to me. Yes, site is running 3.5.4. Installed fresh copy, just in case, but still same.
I have a local (xampp) WordPress install using same plugin files that are working fine.
To be clear, if i take full_meta out of my dev site, everything else works well.
Tes, I assumed it would be the same function. That’s what makes it even harder to understand.
I do have some custom functions in my theme functions.php. Not sure eyes anything that could conflict, but I’ll put a vanilla one in and see.
Other than that, I’m stumped as to how it could behave this way in just one site. Seems more likely to be a site issue than one with the plugin, so I’ll see if there is something at my end. Thanks for the help – and for the plugin – which works very well for me in other contexts!
