[Plugin: Networks for WordPress] Managing Networks and their Sites

Hi David, guys,

First of all, thanks allot for the time you put into this plugin. I’m sure everyone really appreciates it, and I’m sorry for the lengthy essay that follows! But, since it is a support forum, I wanted to pick your brains about a couple of issues I’m seeing. I suspect that they might be related so I’ll describe both here.

David, I’ve installed your plugin on my WP multi-site test instance with no problems. DNS configured to serve “domain.tld” and “sub.domain.tld” from the same IP address. Apache is setup to resolve both “domain.tld” and “sub.domain.tld” to the same file store, where a single instance of WP multi-site is installed. The only active plugins are “Networks for WordPress” and “WordPress MU Domain Mapping”.

All seems to work very well. I see all network sites in “Assign Sites”, I can move sites from one network to another, etc. The only issues I’m facing are:

1) A shortcut which should allow me to access a list of all sites on the network (Sites column) from the Networks Admin page (Network Admin -> Sites -> Networks) only works for the original network. If I try to access the same shortcut for any network created by the plugin, my browser is redirected to the Dashboard of the original network. Ie:

Status – ID : Path : Sites – Shourtcut URL
OK - 1 : / : 2 - https://domain.tld/wp-admin/network/sites.php
ERR - 3 : / : 1 - https://sub.domain.tld/wp-admin/network/sites.php

In fact, the only way I seem to be able to get to the admin panel of sites on any network other then my original network is by going to “Site Admin -> My sites -> [Site Name] Dashboard”.

What’s more, I’m yet to find a way of getting to the “Network Settings” page for any network created by the plugin. As the only “Network Settings” I can access are for my original network.

And this brings me to my second point ….

2) When accessing any site on any network other then my original network as Site Admin, I see a WP info message “Thank you for Updating! Please visit the Update Network page to update all your sites.” at the top of any page in the admin panel.

Not sure if (2) is related to (1) or not but I thought I’ll mention it anyway, just in case.

Any thoughts, advise, suggestions would be very much appreciated!!

PS: Might be related to a previous bug [Sites link broken on 3.0.x].
