 * is it just me…
 * I can’t find any plugins to enable PHP in posts for multisite subsites.
 * either the snippet isn’t saved or in the case of creating shortcodes, nothing
   happens on the post.
 * any suggestions on a plugin (or functions.php edit) to allow PHP execution in
   posts?
 * thanks

 * I believe that PHP in pages/posts is by default not permitted in WordPress Multisite
   for security purposes. It would be crazy to allow users to insert PHP into posts…
   very bad things could happen.
 * I’m not 100% sure so it would be nice if someone else could confirm 🙂

 * yes, you are correct about security issues. in fact it is also good policy to
   disable editing in wp-config… however, multisite does not always mean multi-User…
   in this instance a single user manages multiple domains/sites. some php enable
   plugins also allow giving particular users permissions. but I can’t find any 
   that work on multisite – they have issues with where/how the snippets are generated/
   stored
 * I don’t even really need a plugin if I can get some help on what code to put 
   in functions.php etc

 * Perhaps, but I’m not familiar with that. I’ll ask a few friends of mine who might
   be able to help out with this functionality.
