 * Hello,
 * I have a Multisite setup but I don’t see this as an option anywhere in the Network
   Admin options. Only on the individual sites. I don’t want to have to do this 
   for every single site.
 * Could you please provide me with some guidance on this?
 * Thanks!

 * Is the plugin Network Activated?
 * If so, there should be a “wpDirAuth” option on the network admin “Settings” menu.

 * I’m having the same issue. The plugin is network activated but I see no options
   on the network settings.

 * I also am having the same issue, the plugin is network activated, but I don’t
   have a settings option in the network admin dashboard menu anywhere, only on 
   individual sites. I am running WP 4.2.2, and plugin version 1.7.6.
 * I have another different WP multisite install that does have a settings menu 
   in the network dashboard. The difference between the two multisite installs are
   one has been around for a while and has been upgraded to WP 4.2.2 and plugin 
   1.7.6. where the WP with the missing settings menu is quite new, I think we started
   with WP 4.1.2 and not sure about the plugin version. Not sure if this helps or
   is pertinent to the problem.

 * I believe I figured out what’s going on. wpDirAuth checks if the constant WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE
   is defined and true to determine whether it’s being activated for a single-site
   installation or multisite.
 * Newer versions of WordPress don’t necessarily need that constant defined. The
   constant MULTISITE is used instead.
 * The plugin itself may need an update to address this, but for a quick fix, add
   the following to your wp-config.php file:
 * define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
 * I tested this on a brand-new installation of multisite that had this problem (
   all our old ones were working fine), and it was resolved immedaitely.

 * My apologies. Somehow I completely missed your post [@chisss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chisss/).
   I’ll update the code to use wordpress’ MULTISITE constant in addition to WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE.
 * I’ll continue to support WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE since that is what is used in the
   current documentation for setting up a wordpress network: [](http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#Step_2:_Allow_Multisite)

 * Thank you! Good idea supporting both. I set up multisite on localhost not long
   ago, and the hardest part was trying to reconcile the step-by-step on the screen
   with the instructions on the Create a Network page.
