Screenshots taken on an iPad Air.

Install MultisiteMultisite Multisite is a WordPress feature which allows users to create a network of sites on a single WordPress installation. Available since WordPress version 3.0, Multisite is a continuation of WPMU or WordPress Multiuser project.

Add a new user – network admin

: Input username

: Input email & click submit

: Success!

Each field auto-capitalizes first letter of input. Should maybe use autocapitalize="off" and autocorrect="off" on the username field. The email field should be type="email".

Add a new user to a site

: New User Screen on an individual site

: Input username & email

: If confirmation skip is not checked, user gets sent email to confirm they want to be added.

: If confirmation skip is checked, they just get added

Username auto-capitalizes first letter of input. Should maybe use autocapitalize="off" and autocorrect="off".

Add an existing user to a site

: Begin typing and get auto-suggestions

: Tap auto-suggestion to select, tap again to insert

Bonus: Various site maintenance tasks. Archiving, spamming, deleting, etc

Lastly, https network admin doesn’t create http sites. I can see this being okay/expected since having https://example.com doesn’t mean you’ll have a wildcard for the subdomains. Is there a filter/option/etc to indicate that you do?
