Hi,
There is no specific WPMS support, except for, where possible, limiting the administration to Network admin only. There are no options for sub-sites. To add that makes the whole thing vastly more complex in terms of the code, and the options. And, where possible, I’ve opted to keep it “simple” 😉
If you were to have sub-site support, what sort of things would you be looking to manage on a per-site basis?
Thanks,
Paul.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for getting back to me! First off, to make sure I understand how it works: if I “Network Activate” the plugin, I assume whatever settings I apply will apply to all Blogs in the network, regardless of if they see the interface? That’s the main thing I am after. I can certainly understand the potential to over-complicate things, so for starters, I’m just wanting to verify that the settings applied at the Network level will apply to all sites.
At the sub-site level, I think it’s more of a matter of the user knowing they have a plugin, more than being able to configure it. Right now if I go to a sub-site, it doesn’t even appear they have a firewall (which may lead some to think they need to install one). So even just a tab that shows it is installed would be handy.

Hi,
Basically yes, when you activate and configure it on the network admin side, it’s active for all sites and for any traffic that hits that WordPress site.
As to a tab on the sub-site… I’ll have to think about how to do that for a future release. For now, you’ll just need to communicate to your sub-site users that there’s a firewall in place and the particular settings you have put in place are active.
Thanks!
Paul.
