Cannot install network because mu-plugin is active

[dbrw]

Expected Behavior

On this step of begining network setup I can see the form to start the installation process.

Actual Behavior

there is Warning: Please deactivate your plugins before enabling the Network feature. error and nothing else.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

after initial setup:

1. edit the wp-config.php file to uncomment define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', env('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true)); line;
2. go to dashboard > tools > network setup
3. see the warning there

Versions

• WordPlate: plate version 4.1.0 and framework version 7.1.0
• PHP: 7.3.10

I think the problem is because the mu-plugin plate/plate.php been activated. Any best practice to solve this?

Thanks for reporting the issue! I haven't personally used the plugin loader with multisite.

Maybe @tditlu knows more about this?

As for now, my work around is to rename mu-plugin directory before starting the setup then re-rename it to original name after the setup finished.

Have you tried this with a "normal" WordPress setup? Maybe this isn't related to WordPlate.

Just did a quick search and found this: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23825

It seems this is the expected behaviour. This is not related to WordPlate.

Thanks for reporting though!
