# Network only?

 * Since the last update this plugin can only be network activated. Why is that?
   
   I get the convenience of network wide settings but what if one of the sites within
   a network only want’s to use the new block editor?

 * Yep, that’s the reason. I don’t mind removing the “network only” but we’ll need
   to find a good, sensible way to add some description somewhere so people know
   what to expect.

 * Hi [@azaozz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azaozz/),
 * I think it’s quite clear already, the only thing i.m.o. is that it shouldn’t 
   be available for network wide only if installed in a network.
    Network admins
   can then choose what to do:
 * – Enable for network and gain access to network settings
    – Or enable for each
   site separately and configure the plugin there.
 * If you want I can make a PR on GitHub.

 * My only concern here is to not break user expectations when first enabling the
   plugin. Ideally there should be a brief “explanation” shown only to network admins
   on the plugins page. However not seeing a good way to add that, any ideas?

 * My user expectation was that I could activate it where I want :). I pre-configured
   this plugin on all sites and networks I manage pre-5.0 to make sure everything
   was ready to go 5.0 if needed. And now with the latest version I needed to go
   through all network installations again to reconfigure.
 * I see no point in forcing network activation only. Networks admins understand
   the idea of network-wide and site-specific plugins. Most plugins allow this so
   I don’t see the need of adding any explanation for network wide settings.
    I 
   do think that a link on the network plugins page to where the settings are (maybe
   even an anchor link) would be very handy.
 * Anyhow, that is my opinion 🙂 Thank you for this plugin!

 * There are few PRs that implement this. Going to work on that over the holidays
   and push a new beta soon (it will need some testing) 🙂

 * Ok thanks! Just give me a heads up and I’ll test the beta!
    I’ll mark this as
   resolved here.
