multisite compatible

Hello wpbud,

thanks for your request. Surely you can use Blog2Social with WordPress-multisite, just try it and if you want to, we would look forward to a feedback from you.

Hi Adenion

We added it to our multisite network and activated it on a number of sites. I signed in with a dummy facebook account on a test site, and it worked fine. Trouble is, any site that we activate it on now has the dummy facebook account already linked to it. Removing the authorisation removes it from all the sites.

So, in effect, if any one of our clients activates a facebook link, it will be available for all of our clients. That’s not going to work :/

It needs to distinguish between different sites. We use subdomains not subdirectories.

Hello Allison,

thank you for your message.We appreciate your interest in Blog2Social.

Right now, you can use Blog2Social on a WP multisite with sub-domains as you described.

May I ask, if you manage the multi-sites on your blog with one WordPress user? It would help me very much if you tell me whether your clients all work with the same user or has each client its own access to the blog. Usually every WordPress user can connect his own choice of networks with Blog2Social. These are not automatically transferred to the other WordPress users.

Our development team is checking right now the options to implement an enhanced version of Blog2Social on a WordPress multisite with sub-domains.

Hi Irina,

We have a bunch of superadmins who manage the network as a whole, and then each sub-site has client users, who would be the ones making the posts and connecting their own social accounts. The client users are different for each sub-site, and are sometimes administrators and sometimes editor users.

The plugin is lovely, so I really hope we can make it work.

Thanks

Allison

Hello Allison,

Thanks for the great feedback. Since Blog2Social is user-oriented, each user can connect their own networks to Blog2Social, which are not automatically passed on to the other users. This allows every WordPress user to connect his own choice of networks with Blog2Social. These are not automatically transferred to the other WordPress users.

For example, the WordPress User A can only publish posts to the social media on its selection of networks to which User B has no access.

In your first message, you describe that you are connected to a Facebook page, which was stored in all subdomains. Do you work with a WordPress user in all these subdomains?

Hi Irina,

Here’s what happened: I was logged in as a superadmin. I linked a test facebook account on a test website. I opened up a client’s website (still as a superadmin not as a user on that site) that had the plugin activated and I saw the link to the test facebook was already active on that site. I cancelled the link, and then went back to the test site and saw that it was deactivated there too.

Is it the case that each user has their own social network linked? So if you are a user on more than one site on a multisite network all those sites will be linked to social accounts if one of them is? And, if there are two users on a site, will they each have their own link to social networks?

Allison

Hello Allison,

thank you very much for the detailed explanation.
That’s right, Blog2Social works user-oriented. If you are a user on more than one site on a multisite network, all those sites will be linked to the social media accounts of the user.

A tip: In order to facilitate the overview of the various connections, you can create several profiles at Blog2Social via the “Networks” button. I recommend you to create a profile for each page and connect the necessary networks with Blog2Social.

If there are two users on a site, every user will see only their own connected social media accounts.

Depending on the license version you’ve purchased you are able to connect a different number of profiles, pages and groups per network in total. Blog2Social shows you the exact number of possible connections per network.

• With the smart-version of Blog2Social you can connect 3 accounts per network
• With the pro-version of Blog2Social you can connect 5 accounts per network
• With the business-version of Blog2Social you can connect 15 accounts per network

For more information, please refer to the faq-article “How do I select the right Blog2Social license for my needs?”

Hi Irina,

Ok, so now I understand that it’s user based rather than site based.

We have a multisite network of over 1800 sites, each of which is a unique unrelated entity, so I’m not sure what you mean by ‘network’. Are you saying that your highest level license would only allow 15 of these sites to use your plugin?

Allison

Hello Allison,

thank you for your request.

By “network” I mean that each one of your WordPress user profiles can connect with the Business-Version of Blog2Social up to 15 profiles, pages and groups of each network.

If you want more users included in your license or another feature, we will be happy to make you an individual offer and look forward to your contact. So it would be great if you could contact us via customer-service at blog2social dot com and send us a a request with the exact number of WordPress users you want to enable for the premium features of Blog2Social, as well as the number of networks each user would like connect with Blog2Social.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.
