Hi,

action ‘wpmu_new_blog’ has been deprecated. Use ‘wp_insert_site’ instead.

I always use single site because it’s easy for me to managed. When I need another worpdress on subdomain or subfolder, I just install a new single site for it.

Is it better if I use multi-site wordpress?

I got a tricky question for you… When I write my plugins and use
Include_once(“settings.php”)
or I use
include_once( __FILE__, “settings.php”)
(Wish I was at my computer so I can get the right syntax but hopefully you understand what I’m doing there)

If I do the former and go into my individual sites and activate the plugin, whenever I then open up the multisite dashboard all I see is an error about the user not being found. I have to return to the site dashboard and deactivate the plugin then go back to the network dashboard and activate it from there using netowk activate…only for it to tell me it can’t find the settings file… Thus I change to the latter format for specifying the file’s location and then thhe network activate option works perfectly… But when I open any of my sote’s dashboards it tells me it van’t find the user and thus my entire dashboard is history…

So I go back to my main dashboard, deactivate the plugin, go back to my site dashboard and activate it there…only to find it can’t find the settings.php file…

So what’s the deal here? Hiw do I include a settings file that is in the root of my plugin’s folder in such a way that I can enable the plugin either from my individual site(s) or via network activate without the one destroying the dashboard of the other???

Hey

It seems you can have a lot to offer when the WordPress core project on improving multisite is moving forward at make.wordpress.org/core
Could you perhaps update your article?

Have a great day!

In reply to jacco. It comes from WP core. I.e., the WP core code calls this function and passes in the proper networkwide value.

Hi there

I am more than slightly confused by this line of code:
function shiba_activate($networkwide)

I can see you registering the function and I can see you using the $networkwide variable but I can’t see $networkwide actually ever being set… Googling around doesn’t tell me anything about the function receiving any parameters when the activation hook runs… so when and where and how does the $networkwide variable get it’s value from?
