Activate Update Services

Activate Update Services Plugin

WordPress removes the Update Services ability when you create a network. Activate this plugin to get it back.

WordPress removes the Update Services ability (Settings – Writing) when you create a network (aka enables WordPress MU/Multisite).
Activate this plugin to get it back.

Note: This is only for WordPress setups with a network, aka multiple sites, aka multisites,
aka WPMU in WordPress 3 and later.

This plugin might work with older WordPress MU sites. I haven’t tested it though. If you do, please
let me know how it turned out.

Files

  • /activate-update-services/activate-update-services.php
  • /activate-update-services/README.txt

Installation

  1. Extract the ZIP file and move the folder “activate-update-services”, with it contents,
    to /wp-content/plugins/ in your WordPress installation
  2. Activate the pluing under ‘Plugins’ in the WordPress admin area
  3. Change your ping sites in ‘Update Service’ under the ‘Settings/Writing’ admin panel.

If you want all sites in your network to be able to do this them self you need to activate the
