Multisite Enhancements Plugin

When you work quite a bit with WordPress Multisites, sometimes you need more information or menu items. This plugin enhances the network area for super admins with useful functions.

• Adds Blog and User ID in network view more
• Enables an ‘Add New’ link under the Plugins menu for Network admins
• Adds several useful items to the multisite ‘Network Admin’ admin bar
• On the network plugins page, show which site has this plugin active
• On the network theme page, show which blog has the theme active and which is a Child theme
• Change Admin footer text for Administrators to view currently used RAM, SQL, RAM versions fast
• Adds Favicon from the theme folder to the admin area to easily identify the blog. Use the favicon.ico file in the theme folder of the active theme in each blog
• Adds Favicon to each blog on the Admin Bar Item ‘My Sites’. If you like a custom path for each favicon, please see the documentation for this feature.
• Removes also the ‘W’ logo and his sub-links in the admin bar
• Adds the status to each site in the admin bar to identify fastly if the site has a noindex status and to see the external url.
• Handy SSL identifier for each site on the network site view page.
• See the last login of users.

• Add functions to be used in your install

  • The function get_blog_list() is currently deprecated in the WP Core, but currently usable. The plugin checks this and gets an alternative in inc/autoload/core.php
  • If you will develop the alternative to this function from my source, then use the method get_blog_list() in class Multisite_Core. My source also uses caching with the Transient API. More about the function in inc/autoload/class-core.php.
  • If you use WordPress version 3.7 and higher, then check the function wp_get_sites(), the new alternative function inside the core to get all sides inside the network. The function accepts a array with arguments, see the description.
  • But if you use WordPress 4.6 and higher then that new alternative 😉 – get_sites() – is the current function to get all sites in the network. The helper method of this plugin Multisite_Core::get_blog_list() or the function get_blog_list() have all checks included.

• Filter the theme list to find your target quickly. This works on a single theme page and also on a network theme page.
