Multisite setup

A network activated plugin DOES NOT show up on any individual site.

The main site that i setup the MU network with has access to all the plugins and the themes, however any new site that I create does not have access to them from their dashboard.

Shouldn’t, on 3.1.x….

Are the themes network activated?

Again, if the PLUGIN is network activated, no one sees it. (Caveat: UNLESS the individual site had it activated before you network activated it. That might do it.)

Maybe I don’t understand what you’re saying, but I was under the assumption that once WPMU was installed, I would have a centralized location to manage themes and plugins and to create new sites. I could then access those sites and use the plugins and themes that were managed by the main network site.

also from the subdomain site, i no longer have access to the network dashboard even though i’m logged in as the ‘super’ admin

Yes, but many users are confised by the term “manage”.

You can centrally install plugins. You cannot centrally set options for individual sites from one location.

from the subdomain site, i no longer have access to the network dashboard even though i’m logged in as the ‘super’ admin

you shoudl be redirected to the network admin off the main site.

I understand that I wouldn’t be able to set globally settings for plugins, but for those plugins and themes that are activated on the network, I thought that they would be available for the other sites on the WP multisite network.

you shoudl be redirected to the network admin off the main site.

I am. But when I go to a sub site as the Super Admin, if you will, I no longer have the option in the upper right to go to the network admin site.

I hope it makes sense. Would screen shots help?

But when I go to a sub site as the Super Admin, if you will, I no longer have the option in the upper right to go to the network admin site.

You did the standard ‘turn off plugins’ dance?

My problem has been resolved now that I switched from the Sub domain structure to the sud directory structure. Sorry for the trouble and confusion.

but for those plugins and themes that are activated on the network, I thought that they would be available for the other sites on the WP multisite network.

They are. they are just not listed on the plugins page becasue they are *alreayd active*. If it makes a new menu item, it should show up.

If it was something like BuddyPress…. well, it doesn’t do that.

But when I go to a sub site as the Super Admin, if you will, I no longer have the option in the upper right to go to the network admin site.

Then something’s up. because the link is available on all sub sites.

Everything seems to be working, however my subdomain site doesn’t have access to my network themes and plugins…what am I doing wrong?
