Multisite questions

Is the plugin Network Activated?

If so, there should be a “wpDirAuth” option on the network admin “Settings” menu.

I’m having the same issue. The plugin is network activated but I see no options on the network settings.

I also am having the same issue, the plugin is network activated, but I don’t have a settings option in the network admin dashboard menu anywhere, only on individual sites. I am running WP 4.2.2, and plugin version 1.7.6.

I have another different WP multisite install that does have a settings menu in the network dashboard. The difference between the two multisite installs are one has been around for a while and has been upgraded to WP 4.2.2 and plugin 1.7.6. where the WP with the missing settings menu is quite new, I think we started with WP 4.1.2 and not sure about the plugin version. Not sure if this helps or is pertinent to the problem.

I believe I figured out what’s going on. wpDirAuth checks if the constant WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE is defined and true to determine whether it’s being activated for a single-site installation or multisite.

Newer versions of WordPress don’t necessarily need that constant defined. The constant MULTISITE is used instead.

The plugin itself may need an update to address this, but for a quick fix, add the following to your wp-config.php file:

define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);

I tested this on a brand-new installation of multisite that had this problem (all our old ones were working fine), and it was resolved immedaitely.

My apologies. Somehow I completely missed your post @chisss. I’ll update the code to use wordpress’ MULTISITE constant in addition to WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE.

I’ll continue to support WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE since that is what is used in the current documentation for setting up a wordpress network:

Thank you! Good idea supporting both. I set up multisite on localhost not long ago, and the hardest part was trying to reconcile the step-by-step on the screen with the instructions on the Create a Network page.
