    I’m not sure, to be honest: I haven’t done much testing using multisite because wp is quite limited in what it supports for multisite dev environments.

    I would assume that it is because the CCTM settings are stored in the options table, which is specific to each blog/site in a multisite environment. This is the way that most plugins deal with Multisite, and I honestly haven’t run across very many that are “global” in the sense that their settings persist throughout the entire network.

    The easiest way to get around this is just to export the settings from the main site, and just import them into the subsite. CCTM only shows up for Admins, but you could probably hack a permissions check in the plugin somewhere by changing that to Super Admin.

    Yes: CCTM settings are stored in the wp_options table. There is a tool to export/import the CCTM settings that gets around the WP limitations/myopia.

    Re the permissions, I don’t think a hack is necessary: you can override the built-in config file as described here: https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/wiki/Config_admin_menu
