Hello everyone, I have a problem that I have been trying to fix for 6 days now. I have a WPMU site that is like a blog farm based on sports. I have pro athletes and regular people joining up daily. The problem I am having is this.
The plug ins that I have installed in my Main site are all showing up in the blogs that are created by members. I do not want that to happen. I mean the Buddypress plug-in, the s2member plug-in and a bunch of other ones are coming in their dashboards under plug-ins. They are all not active but they are there and I don't want them to be. I just want a few basic plug-ins like image gallery, contact form and maybe a facebook and twitter plug-in to show up in their dashboards. I have tried a plug-in called default blog but it does not work to stop this, I mean it barley works at all. Like I have it set to make the home page and some base pages like about, and contact and home and it does make them but I set the default theme to copy from to have the home page using the home page but it still makes it the blog page instead, lol. Anyways, How can I make ONLY the plug-ins I want show up or be accessible in a new members blog site? Also, I did read and try an article about putting the plug-ins I want for their sites in a folder called mu-plug-ins, but that did not do anything at all. they were all still there. Can someone advise me about how to fix this? I really don't want buddypress and s2member things showing up in their mini sites. Thanks Guys.
Plugind for my main site displaying in MU mini sites, how do I stop them??? (11 posts)

Buddypress should be network activated and thus NOT be displayed under the Plugins menu.
Also, try logging in as someone other than Super Admin and see if you still see it.

Posted 1 year ago #lol, well here is the dumbest thing of all, I can not stand and I absolutely hate they have separated the dashboard. I also hate the fact that if I install a plug-in for the main site (site admin) only then it always wants to jump over to the network dashboard. So I deactivate them to get them to jump back to my site admin dashboard and 2 log outs and lo-gins later, they are all back over in the network admin, what gives, since 3.0.1. this has become the most miserable P.O.S. in the world. I just want to go back to before 3.0. Anywasy, Do I need all 3 of them or just one with the option of using the others? ANd thanks too.

Plugin install always happen at network admin.
Don't hit the "network activate" button after you install them. :P that's why they don't show in the site plugin list.
I gave you a list of 3 to choose from.
his has become the most miserable P.O.S. in the world.
Um, I'm actually a contributor and did some direct work on the new network admin in 3.1.
So thanks.

Standard behavior for most web based tools is to separate 'super' admins (i.e. people running the tool) from local admins. It's like this on the vast majority of tools I use that have two layers of admins, and it's done for very good reasons: It makes you THINK 'Hey, I'm in the network admin!' and that stops you from doing the stupid! :)
Network activate the plugins that require it (BuddyPress) or you want to force everyone to use (Akismet).

Posted 1 year ago #Hey sorry, I did not know and I did not mean anything towards you. but it is super frustrating to have to go between dashboards and do things. A lot of the things from the network admin and the site admin bleed into each other, the plug ins when installed do not show any other option but network activate and then if the plug in does happen to show up in the site admin, once you activate it and log out 2 or 3 times, they jump into the network admin and are network enabled, This happens on all 13 of my MU sites. I have to switch dashboards 20 times to do one thing, lol. Anyways, I have tried the 3 above and feel that exclude plug-ins works the way I need. The only problem is that I have a text widget that is supposed to load up in a default theme that I created (Im using "default Blog" plugin for this) for my mini sites and when I use any of these the text widget wil not shopw up with my google ads in it when a new member creates a blog, lol. Ugh. Once again, sorry for the comment, it was just 10 times easier when it was Wp 2.9 with one dashboard for the main site with network in that.

That's a bit more 'not all plugins use the network admin section as they're supposed to.' Generally I keep two tabs open when I'm working on a site: Site admin and Network admin.
You always had to switch to 20 subsites if you wanted to setup the same plugin on 20 sites. That didn't really change. Network activate does not mean network configured (i.e. the same options on all 20 sites). That would be a different plugin ;)

Posted 1 year ago #Oh, i am using the "default blog" plug in. I have created the blog for it to follow suite with on all new blogs and it does the trick quite well. Unfortunately, the new plug ins that were exclude cats and the other 2 he said caused my text widget to show up with no google ads, lol. Anyways, yes i work both in multiple tabs and monitors all the time. I do run boonex and I also run ska date and I dat scripts that have mini blog features (not as thourough as WPMU's) with seperate dashboards for the members and myself but my dashboard is all in one. No seperation, I have only seen this with WPMU since 3.0 or 3.1

Tip: get the snack bar plugin. ;) It makes network admin stuff easier to navigate.

Tho I have no idea why you;re logging in and out again? I'm logged in as super admin all the time. even when posting to my own blogs.
