• Since the last update this plugin can only be network activated. Why is that?
    I get the convenience of network wide settings but what if one of the sites within a network only want’s to use the new block editor?

    I get the convenience…

    Yep, that’s the reason. I don’t mind removing the “network only” but we’ll need to find a good, sensible way to add some description somewhere so people know what to expect.

    Hi @azaozz,

    I think it’s quite clear already, the only thing i.m.o. is that it shouldn’t be available for network wide only if installed in a network.
    Network admins can then choose what to do:

    – Enable for network and gain access to network settings
    – Or enable for each site separately and configure the plugin there.

    If you want I can make a PR on GitHub.

    My only concern here is to not break user expectations when first enabling the plugin. Ideally there should be a brief “explanation” shown only to network admins on the plugins page. However not seeing a good way to add that, any ideas?

    My user expectation was that I could activate it where I want :). I pre-configured this plugin on all sites and networks I manage pre-5.0 to make sure everything was ready to go 5.0 if needed. And now with the latest version I needed to go through all network installations again to reconfigure.

    I see no point in forcing network activation only. Networks admins understand the idea of network-wide and site-specific plugins. Most plugins allow this so I don’t see the need of adding any explanation for network wide settings.
    I do think that a link on the network plugins page to where the settings are (maybe even an anchor link) would be very handy.

    Anyhow, that is my opinion ?? Thank you for this plugin!

    There are few PRs that implement this. Going to work on that over the holidays and push a new beta soon (it will need some testing) ??

    Ok thanks! Just give me a heads up and I’ll test the beta!
    I’ll mark this as resolved here.
