Management Tool + Multisite combined

  • I am setting up a series of multisite networks with the following structure:

    MULTISITE NETWORK 1 (USA)
    usa.domain.com
    us.domain.com/service1/
    us.domain.com/service2/

    MULTISITE NETWORK 2 (GERMANY)
    ge.domain.com
    ge.domain.com/service1/
    ge.domain.com/service2/

    …

    Each multisite network will be independent and run on a different server. In this way, I can reduce the risk to crash all the sites in case one of the country-specific network crashes.

    With this config, there will be a super-admin for each network/country. In my specific case, it will be the same person. Also, this config implies that the super-admin will have to manually update wordpress and plugins for each network/country, ending up a time-consuming process.

    I wonder if it would be possible to combine the multi-site feature with a website management tool, such as MainWP or wpmudev The Hub, to automatically update the master sites of each network/country, so that the super-admin(s) will only need to deploy the updates to the child-websites in the networks.

    What do you guys think about this solution?

  • Hi @fab1987a
    Fabulous and creative idea you’ve got. True, there will be a need to use proprietary web management tools. Updating a multisite can be a headache without proper management, from experience!

    Please explain the phrase “so that the super-admin(s) will only need to deploy the updates to the child-websites in the networks.”

    Thank you! I mean, once the WP core has been updated, the super-admin still needs to propagate the updates to the sub-sites of the network.

    I am actually testing the new WPMUDEV Hosting service which integrates multisite and The Hub for updates.

    Problem solved…

    cool to know you found a way around. Keep going!
