# Some problems in Woocommerce multisite

 * Hello, when I enable woocommerce on a multisite network, woocommerce works for
   all subsites but I cannot disable woocommerce only on the main site.
 * There are also some pages that woocommerce assigns automatically. For example,
   the I forgot my password page is set to /lost-password, but the I forgot my password
   link on the WordPress login page where users log in is updated to /lost-password
   and when users click on this link, they encounter a 404 page. Because WordPress’
   default password reset link is “?action=lostpassword”.
 * Finally, when Woocommerce is updated, users encounter the message “database update
   required” on all subsites. (screenshot attached) Isn’t there a way for Woocommerce
   to automatically update the database for subsites as well? So is this message
   really necessary?

 * **Woocommerce is really useful but has a slightly complex structure. I dream 
   of a lightweight and simple woocommerce, free of technical caveats and problems.
   Thank you.**

 * Unfortunately, it’s not possible to disable the plugin on the main site only 
   when it’s network activated. You might consider disabling the WooCommerce plugin
   network-wide and then enabling it per site.

 * This is expected behavior. After you install and activate WooCommerce, the lost
   password page will automatically be set as the Lost Password page.

 * WooCommerce uses this prompt to ensure your database is compatible with the latest
   codebase. While it might seem inconvenient, it’s essential for maintaining your
   site’s functionality and security.
 * We strive to make WooCommerce as user-friendly and efficient as possible and 
   continuously work on improving its structure and functionality. Your feedback
   is invaluable in this process.
 * I hope this provides some clarity. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
