No access to settings [multisite]

    Hello,

    I run the plugin on a multisite installation, so far without any problems.

    Now I have changed the main site (from https://www.example.com to https://www.otherdomain.com, previously part of the network) and can no longer access the settings of NinjaFW.

    Tried to add the line define ('NFW_ALLOWED_ADMIN', 'myadminusername'); to wp-config.php.

    Does somebody has any idea?

    Best regards,
    Andrea

    Are you accessing https://www.otherdomain.com/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=NinjaFirewall?
    If you do, is there any error returned?

    Do you see NinjaFirewall’s icon in the admin tool bar. By default it is visible in a multisite installation and, when moving the mouse over, it will show a tooltip with a link to its settings page.

    yes, I see the icon and the plugin is definitely active and working. The error message is “Sorry, you are not authorized to access this page.” (wp-die / Error 403)

    When I look in the plugin overview page https://www.newdomain.com/wp-admin/network/plugins.php, instead of the settings there is the gray text “Access restricted”, see https://imgur.com/a/wdQ0EK0

    This restriction occurs when you either don’t have the manage_network capabilities or if this is not the main site, i.e., the is_main_site() function returns false.
    Copy the following code, save it to the file, e.g., “whatever.php”, upload it to your site inside the main root folder, and go to https://your-site/whatever.php:

    <?php
require 'wp-config.php';
if ( current_user_can('manage_network') ) {
	echo "OK: You have the manage_network capability.</p>";
} else {
	echo "ERROR: You don't have the manage_network capability.</p>";
}
if ( is_main_site() ) {
	echo "OK: This is the main site.</p>";
} else {
	echo "ERROR: This is not the main site.</p>";
}

    OK: You have the manage_network capability.
ERROR: This is not the main site.

    OK, got the point, I have to change the wp-config.

    8 is the Blog-ID of “otherdomain.com” what is my new mainsite.

    define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 8);

    following the hints in here

    Thanks & regards, Andrea
