Super Admin rights, Canonical URLs, Child Post Readonly

    This plugin seems to be exactly what I am looking for but I’m not sure if I have settings wrong or I am not understanding how it works. I am wanting to broadcast pages from the main site to the sub-sites. I have a couple of questions.

    For testing I have a clean install of WP 4.0.1 setup for multisite – sub-directories, using the Twenty Fourteen template.

    1) When logged in as the super admin the sub-sites aren’t listed in the broadcast meta box. FAQ says you need write access to the blog but by default super admin has write access to all sub-sites. If I add the super user as a user to the sub site it is listed. But doing this means the admin of the sub-site can remove the super admin from the users. Not a desirable outcome. Should the sites be listed in the metabox when logged in as super admin?

    2) I have the canonical URL setting checked but the canonical URL on the sub-site is not showing the parent page. ie. the href is https://www.website.com/site1/test-page instead of https://www.website.com/test-page. Do I have something set incorrectly

    3) Is it possible for the child post to be read only? I don’t want admins of the sub-sites to be able to edit the broadcast pages.

    Many Thanks!

    1. No. This is not always desireable – there are Broadcast users with several thousand blogs in the network and displaying them all causes a delay of several seconds.

    The premium pack contains a plugin that allows all of the blogs to be available, but to all users with broadcast access.

    I’m thinking you might need an “All blogs” plugin but only for the super admin?

    2. If the child post is linked then the canonical URL should work. I just tested it myself and it worked just fine. You don’t happen to have any other canonical or SEO plugins interfering?

    3. I can look into this for you, as it’s not the first time someone has asked for this.

    I’m having exact the same problem with canonical URLs. No plugins used.

    Figured it out:

    …/src/ThreeWP_Broadcast.php
    (line 328)

    // Only override the canonical if we’re looking at a single post.
    if ( ! is_single() )
    return;

    … made it not working for “pages”, only for “posts”.

    Does the following code work for you? (let’s see if I get the markup right…)

    ”
    // Only override the canonical if we’re looking at a single post.
    $override = false;
    $override |= is_single();
    $override |= is_page();
    if ( ! $override )
    return;
    ”

    Oh, backticks…

    // Only override the canonical if we're looking at a single post.
$override = false;
$override |= is_single();
$override |= is_page();
if ( ! $override )
return;

    #3 is now solved. I’ve added a “lock post” plugin in the plugin pack.

    Thanks Guys! I think we can call this resolved now. I shall have to see if my client is prepared to go for the Premium pack to cover #1 and #3.
