upgrading modules on multisite

  • Where are plugins managed in multisite – top or bottom? Can plugins be updated individually on each bottom site or have to be updated globally at the top?

    If I create two bottom sites – a personal blog and an ecommerce site and them update WordPress SEO at the top, will it get automatically upgraded on both of my bottom sites? Does the same apply for themes?

    Is there a module that can be used to create and execute automatic tests of my sites after upgrades?

    Thanks!

    Forgot to ask:
    Does a multisite take less hdd space than using individual installs?

    Top…? What? They’re managed on two levels:

    1) Network Activate – Active for all sites, no one can turn off.
    2) Per site active – ‘Normal’

    They’re all installed in one place, though, so if you upgrade a plugin, it’s for all sites.

    Is there a module that can be used to create and execute automatic tests of my sites after upgrades?

    No, because no one but you knows what tests you want to run.

    Does a multisite take less hdd space than using individual installs?

    Only about 3 megs per site (which is the size of the core WP instance) plus any duplicated plugins.

    How can plugins be duplicated? Can I have the same plugin installed twice – top and per site?

    By automatic tests I meant a module that can be configured to test a process that I configure on my site (make order, post comment, share post, search topics,..).

    Stop saying ‘top’ and ‘per site’ please. The proper terms are ‘Network Wide’ and ‘Per Site’ ?? Top is meaningless.

    How can plugins be duplicated? Can I have the same plugin installed twice – top and per site?

    You’re misunderstanding everything ??

    NOTHING is duplicated. There is ONE install of everything, you’re always calling the same files.

    So when you say ‘Installed twice’ the answer is no, the plugin, all themes, and core WP is installed once.

    But how you ACTIVATE the plugin that matters here. You can activate either per-site or network wide, not both.

    By automatic tests I meant a module that can be configured to test a process that I configure on my site (make order, post comment, share post, search topics,..).

    There’s nothing built that does that yet, you’d need to look into PHP Unit Tests.
