# designate default module activation on multisite

 * I believe we previously asked this question, but the need is arising again, hence:
 * Since v2.9, apparently there is a way on multisites to activate certain Jetpack
   modules by default, as first presented [here](http://jetpack.me/2014/02/26/jetpack-2-9/):
 * > “When network-activating Jetpack, you’ll see a new Jetpack > Settings tab in
   > your Network Admin. From here, you can manage all your blogs’ connections, 
   > control whether individual blog admins can reconnect with their own account,
   > and designate which Jetpack modules are activated by default.”
 * But I can’t, in the current version (3.7.2), see how to “…designate which Jetpack
   modules are activated by default.” Is this option no longer supported?
 * Many thanks,
 * Jim P.

 * Howdy Jim,
 * I’ll respond to your direct communication too, but for the sake of those searching,
   the feature still works. My initial thought for why it may not be working on 
   your site is where the code is being placed.
 * Since you’re on a multisite setup, we need to make sure the code is running universally,
   likely in a mu-plugin.

 * I’m running into this issue too, and can’t find where this Multisite / Network
   default module setting is supposed to be managed, if it’s indeed working.
 * This feature appears to all be commented out in the code (I’m currently looking
   at Jetpack 4.0.3)? For example, the `Jetpack_Nework->set_auto_activated_modules()`
   method’s body is fully commented out, as is the `jetpack_get_default_modules`
   filter. The HTML itself for the settings’ form fields is commented out in jetpack/
   network-settings.php
 * If you search the codebase for the following text, you’ll find the commented-
   out features all have this note:
 * > `Remove the toggles for 2.9, re-evaluate how they're done and added for a 3.0
   > release. They don't feel quite right yet.`
 * So is this something that’s been back-burnered, or am I just looking in the wrong
   places?

 * [@adamnorwood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adamnorwood/) We still haven’t
   added the UI back, as you’ve realized, but you can use the `jetpack_get_default_modules`
   filter to customize the modules enabled on each site in a Multisite network. 
   The `jetpack_get_available_modules` filter can be useful too.
 * You could, for example, use the filter in a network enabled plugin or in a mu-
   plugin to apply the same customizations to each site in the network. Another 
   option would be to create a plugin that would use the same filter, but apply 
   different customizations based on the site ID in your network.
 * Here are a few resources that can help you:
