Multisite defaults panel

[colomet]

It would be nice if some of the settings are for SuperAdmins and apply to all the installatin. Some times we need to write all the information again and again and is a waste of time.

In my situation, we use The SEO Framework with Pressbooks. A plugin that change a multisite platform in a ebook creation platform where each site of the multisite is a book. We could have tens of sites even more and we need the same configuration all the time.

Even if you use WP as a bloging platform as Edublogs, some times some settings must be to all the sites in the same way.

thanks

Hi @colomet

Such things were already planned, as shown in this code, this code and this code. However, I never got to it as the pressure of thesis Chronus (first this, then that) is overwhelming at times.

Could you confirm?

If I understand it correctly, you wish to have a central dashboard in the network administration where you set the sites' SEO defaults?

[colomet]

I have around 200 sites inside of the multisite. Some times we need to change someting to the seo, and to apply to all of the sites. Too long time.

Yoast seo allow to create new sites with the same configuration as one base site. And then, nothing change. I have no problem with the new sites after the configuration, I clone the sites (and also the settings) from one old site to a new one. That feature is not really useful. We can do it with other tools.

My problem is each time I have to tweek someting. To change something inside of one specific plugin once the new site is created, because I have to open and do it 200 times.

thanks for your time.

Hi @colomet

From what you've told me, I assume my speculations were correct 😄

[colomet]

Example of Yoas Seo. Is not really good but is an example.

Hello. I need this fonction too! Good idea !

[sybrew]

Well, if it's only making CC's of settings, within a network... Sure!

Feel free to open more issues with other multisite-related ideas. I'll shift them to v3.3 when they're proper and doable.

an example for wp-rocket of multisite settings

Yea, we could do something like that. That won't be too much work... I hope 😅

multisite request;

Not all the functionalities may be required in the superadmin settings page of the multisite, but I have a situation, I have CPTs with no content that are used for organization purposes, so to be able to choose a specific CPT and to apply noIndex from the multisite settins would be great.

[sybrew]

I don't know if we're able to access the registered CPT from the network admin. I'll take it with me, regardless 👍

Is this still on the cards?

Hi @dnnsjsk

Every open issue is either under consideration or is bound to be resolved.

I'm currently not able to expand my maintenance coverage, so duplicating the settings fields is a strict no-go. I'll have to create a settings-generator first, and move on from there; e.g., by setting "can be adjusted globally" and "is locked globally". So, don't hold your breath, as this can take a long while before being realized.

Until then, you can utilize setting defaults via the the_seo_framework_default_site_options filter. You can find it here: https://github.com/sybrew/the-seo-framework/blob/3.2.4/inc/classes/site-options.class.php#L76-L266

These settings are locked the moment a site is created. So, the filter does not affect older websites (aside from visually), unless the "Reset Settings" button is pressed.

Pushed to 4.2.0, because we need an update out quickly to support the new Core sitemap functionality (WP 5.5), due August 2020.

We recently introduced "Headless Mode" that's doing what we promised here, albeit without an interface. I'm not sure if we can work this out well without causing conflicts.

Since Headless Mode was premiered only recently, I think it best to see where that developer-focused feature heads before pasting a like-like on top of that.
