[Plugin: Permalink Finder Plugin] [BUG] Misbehaves in multi-site environment

  • Hi Keith,

    Absolute gem of a plugin! Very high recommended to anyone…. but, it seem to misbehave in the multi-site environment:

    May be it’s me misunderstanding how it suppose to work, but plain site admins (not only super admin) are able to change global setting for the plugin when it is installed on WP-MU and “Networked” option is set to ON. Personally, I would expect plugin settings (as well as the “Permalink Finder” menu itself) to be hidden from anyone but Super Admin if this option is enabled.

    Thank you,

    I will check it out to see what is going on.

    The way it should work is that can_manage_network users can make changes, but only in the network dashboard or blog 1. Blog 1 is there to make it backward compatible to old versions of WordPress. Perhaps it is time to take that out, and enforce the super admin user.

    Thanks for such a quick response! Just read your comment and thought I better make sure that I didn’t imagine things:

    I’ve reinstalled version 2.1 onto my WP-MultiSite and did two tests. First, I’ve “network activated” plugin and went to Settings, then I “network deactivated” and activated it on my primary blog only (ID 1). Plugin was configured with “Networked” option is set to ON.

    In both instances I could login to my test blog (ID:2) as a simple blog admin (no elevated privileges) and was able to not only see “Permalink Finder” menu in Settings but also was able to modify plugin settings for the entire network.
