Pardon my delayed reply. I have a generic FTP I can provide, and for superadmin access I may need your email address. If you could email me at my Lewis & Clark address, I can provide further info.

Many thanks,

To answer your questions:

• Yes, single site admin sees other *non-network activated* plugins on their site, so they can choose to (site-) activate or deactivate.
• I can inquire with WPEngine if indeed this change needs to be maintained in wp-config.php; please confirm that I’ll need to maintain this change.
• Thank you for preserving unfiltered_html capability within site for admins.
• Single site admin role name has not been edited; it’s “Administrator.”

Hope this helps!

Okay, I’ve added the above code to wp-config.php. At this point, as single site admin I can see URE under Users and under Settings, but not under Plugins. (I can see all as network admin on this single site.)

My host, WPEngine, occasionally monitors and strips code from wp-config.php, I believe, so above may not be a lasting solution.

Btw, it would be important, at least in our current scheme, for the Multisite tab to be accessed by admins and apply to the site only: the specific setting (which I know is risky) is “Enable “unfiltered_html” capability,” as certain students (who are admins of their own sites) need to embed concept map code from another provider, and this requires <object>…</object> code. If this will not be possible, then super-admin would need to be able to enable this capability to admins on selected site only.

I have discovered a possible issue. I don’t seem to be able to see nor enable UREPro when I’m site admin on one site of our multisite (vs. network superadmin). I did enable “Allow single site administrator access to User Role Editor” on the root site settings, but this doesn’t seem to do it. When I visit the site as admin I don’t see UREPro anywhere; when I visit as superadmin I see it and can activate etc. Do I also need to check “Activate access restrictions to User Role Editor for single site administrator,” then edit privileges below?

Now, there may be a reason we may ultimately restrict UREPro activation to network admins, but for now I’d like to know how site admins may activate/manage it.

Okay, finally got to this, and installed your .b5. License key now inputs fine on root site, and subsite where it’s activated looks good. One odd thing is that you need to deactivate it on root site before you can delete it via network admin; i.e., delete link does not appear on network admin until deactivated from root site. (Of course, I’ve only had to do this to manually update, but hopefully auto update will work now.)

Thanks for your quick development effort!

That’s fine; I should be able to get back to this tomorrow.

Okay, I’ve downloaded the beta and installed on my multisite. Then I activated on the root site. Then I sent to Network Admin > Settings, and entered our license key, then clicked Save. Upon entering it, I got the following page:

Not Found

The requested URL /wp-admin/network/options-general.php was not found on this server.

When I refreshed the URE settings page, the license key was not there, so the above did not work as far as license key goes.

Then I went to the site where I had previously activated it, and it is still active (after the update). I then clicked on Settings next to the plugin for this site, and indeed did get the entire UREPro settings list there. But this includes the Multisite Options tab (again, we are on a subsite, not the root site). Is this supposed to be on all sites? I’d assume not.

So, it looks like you are making progress, but there are a few things left to figure out in the multisite environment; thanks very much for your quick attention.

Thanks for your updates on the above; this seems sufficient to assist us for now. Let’s wait until you are able to develop a multisite-compatible version that allows use other than network-activate, then I will further test the above.

Finally, if you have clues as to whether there is a multisite-wide default new user role in the back-end SQL tables (given that we had previously network-activated the plugin), I’d appreciate, so I can track down that problem (see here).

Thanks,

Jim P.

Additionally, I’d sure appreciate being in touch on the multisite activation issue, as we would indeed like to activate UREPro on selected sites only.

Regards,

Jim P.

Thanks for your replies. As noted here, edit_posts capability now works fine, possibly because we did not network-activate, or your newer version (4.16 vs. 4.14) has somehow fixed this.

Jim P.

Okay, many thanks. Btw, I got a copy of your “This message is the test of email notification from this forum” post, though I cannot find it on the forum thread where it emanated, and I did not get email copies of your other replies.

Another issue for which I’d appreciate clarification: the site on which we activated UREPro was having a problem with default user role always set to Subscriber for new users, even though UREPro was network-deactivated and users were being added to that site with Author status. I suspect that, when UREPro was network activated, it somehow wrote a directive specifying default role multisite-wide as Subscriber. I’d like to purge that from the back-end tables if possible, please (assuming we can activate at the site level vs. network activate), so that other site admins can add users and select the role without it being overridden by a global setting we do not want to have.

Ah, I’m pretty sure now that by activating UREPro on a single site on our multisite, we’re simply running URE (not Pro) functionalities. As an example, an admin on this site can no longer see admins under the Users menu, and when I went to UREPro to check Admin role privileges on that site, I can’t…I remembered Pro is needed to include Admin as an editable role.

Thanks for your clarification of options for running UREPro on a multisite.

Regards,

Jim P.

I’ve now installed UREPro v4.16 on our multisite, activated on a test site, and had no problem with edit_post capability. This is with a per-site activation, however, not network activation, so it’s not an exact duplicate of what we earlier did. (See this post, please, for important question on activation in multisite environment.)

Jim P.
