Insert page from main blog in multisite

    I have found this question before in the support without a true resolution and am wondering if there is a way to make an adjustment in the functions.php to adjust which blog the plugin searched for posts/pages to insert from? Previously someone posted this code (https://217.179.225.99/insert_pages.html) But I wasn’t able to get it to work. Or are there other work arounds?

    I’d like to be able to select content from the main site and insert it into the subdirectory site. Any guidance would be truly appreciated.

    The code you linked to is unrelated to this plugin; you can use it by itself to try to insert pages from other sites in the network (it defines the [insert_page url='https://example.com/some-blog/sample-page'] shortcode that you can use to insert any other post/page that exists in the network.

    The main reason we hesitate to introduce multisite inserts in this plugin is because of security considerations: not all network contexts want users of one site browsing all content from the other sites in the network, or inserting content and potentially masquerading as the other site.

    Good luck!

    I can totally see the security considerations regarding inserting content from other multi-sites BUT I’m in the same situation and NEED to insert content from a page in muti-site A (like “sub-domain-A.domain.com”) into a post in multi-site B (like “sub-domain-B.domain.com”).

    My suggestion is to make a setting in the preferences to ALLO or DISALLOW using inserts from multi-site by the super admin.

    What do you think?

    Thank you very much for considering this feature request.
