Compare sites option not available

Hi Kathy,

After installing the plugin go to the Dashboard area for the two sites you want to compare. There is a new submenu under Plugins called Compare. When you go there you should see something like this: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/867430/9484459/a02ce640-4b7a-11e5-900a-6ba466e74ebb.png

You can choose a site from the drop down menu and compare the plugins from two sites on the same multisite network (aka example.com/sitea/ compared with example.com/siteb/). Or you can copy the long mess of characters at the bottom there and paste it into the text field on another site (aka sitea.com compared with siteb.com) This lets you compare plugins across two different WordPress installs. Press the “Compare plugins” button and voila!

I hope that helps.

Hi Russell,
Thanks for the reply and thanks for the plugin.

I was hoping to be able to compare the plugins between two networks (at the network level). This is to compare my development network and production network.

It looks like your plugin can just compare individual sites on the network rather than the networks themselves.

Ah I see. Yes I don’t think my plugin covers that use case as I have never used a multinetwork setup. You can go to the Plugin page on the network site (/wp-admin/network/plugins.php) and view a plugin report that will show you which plugins are used on which sites. I haven’t tested this on large networks so your mileage may vary.

Marking this thread as resolved.
