 * Hello,
 * I’m developing a ‘network’ of sites in wordpress that have the same plugins, 
   the same theme and the same content. This’ network ‘is connected to a single 
   database, so, if I change the content of the ‘parent site’, all others are changed
   as well.
 * What I needed was that when I update the plugins of the ‘parent site’, the plugins
   from the ‘child sites’ update as well. Is there any way of the sites share the
   same plugins folder?
 * PS: Unsuccessfully, I tried using the instructions laid out here: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php)
 * Thank you & Sorry for the bad English 🙂

 * I don’t know that it’ll work since I haven’t doneit myself, but if you’re in 
   a Linux environment you could try symbolic links.
