Today’s Multisite Office Hours

Welcome!

The WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. development team builds WordPress! Follow this site for general updates, status reports, and the occasional code debate. There’s lots of ways to contribute:

Found a bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.? Create a ticket in the bug tracker.

Want to contribute? Get started quickly with tickets marked as good first bugs for new contributors or join a bug scrub. There’s more on the reports page, like patches needing testing, and on feature projects page.

Other questions? Here is a detailed handbook for contributors, complete with tutorials.

We’re continuing multisitemultisite Used to describe a WordPress installation with a network of multiple blogs, grouped by sites. This installation type has shared users tables, and creates separate database tables for each blog (wp_posts becomes wp_0_posts). See also network, blog, site office hours in the new year on Tuesdays at 20:00 UTC in the #core-multisite room. This is a wrap-up of today’s discussion with some goals we have in mind.

Major takeaways today:

Rapid iteration on new and existing ideas can sometimes be done best as a featured plugin. It would be nice to find some areas of multisite that could be addressed this way and start working for a release in 4.3 or 4.4. It is likely too late to include any new feature plugins in the 4.2 cycle and that’s ok.
A good sit is needed with @nacin’s multisite roadmap from late 2013. We should revisit this, see what progress has been made, and compare with the world today. As @sam mentioned, it would be nice to see an updated version that references the previous version.
Some workflow study is in order. We talked a bit about the painful workflows for multisite management in closed and open networks. Taking a good look at the pain points in current flows for new users, sites, plugins, themes, etc… would be good to get a grasp on priority. Looking at how WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ is organized could provide a good model for a closed networknetwork (versus site, blog).
With of the above combined (and more!), some actual prioritized goals for multisite would be nice. Bug fixes can continue to be addressed as they come in, but without established long term goals we’re “floating aimlessly” (props @earnjam) each cycle with our wish lists. 🙂

So. The next week is for thinking, commenting, and collaborating. If anything above sounds interesting or inspires you a bunch, please leave a comment so we can start organizing around things.

Also – we now have a #core-multisite channel in SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/., so hop in there any time with ideas or questions.

Thanks all for the lively discussion today!

For the long version, office hours started in #core and then moved to #core-multisite if you’re looking for logs.

Hi, I’m the one who has created many websites on WordPress, for media agencies.
There are couple of things I would like to see in WP Networknetwork (versus site, blog).

1. Option in WP Network setup – shared library or separate library (as it is right now)
2. adding arbitrary domain on a network, not just sub domains of a single domain.

Because none of the current plug-ins can be used for heavy load multilingual websites, I use WP Network to solve languages problem. So that’s why sometimes I need shared library across all networks, to have same featured imageFeatured image A featured image is the main image used on your blog archive page and is pulled when the post or page is shared on social media. The image can be used to display in widget areas on your site or in a summary list of posts. on the post for different languages.

Thank you.

  Adding arbitrary domains is certainly on the radar, though plugins can do that already.
  
  Multilingual is likely not to be something solved in Multisitemultisite Used to describe a WordPress installation with a network of multiple blogs, grouped by sites.

Who were you trying to notify and email with the @sam tagtag A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses tags to store a single snapshot of a version (3.6, 3.6.1, etc.), the common convention of tags in version control systems. (Not to be confused with post tags.) mate? I am “@sam“, and it’s not me…

(If it is someone else who goes by just @sam in some area of WordPress, would you mind directing me to them? Maybe I can ask them to stop constantly trying to reset their password with my user name too.. Haha.)

With all the respect to all of the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. team, multilingual is feature that has to be solved asap. There are dozens of ideas and concepts, I personally wrote about this several times. That’s a core feature. It has to be in core. Multilingual pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party developers are ready to do all the job, they are just limited by the core limitations itself.
