I just created my first network of sites with wordpress and I was installing plugins, I installed these:
Platinium SEO Pack (http://techblissonline.com/platinum-seo-pack/)
TubePress (http://www.tubepress.net)
Contact Form 7 (http://contactform7.com/)
Social Bookmarks (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/social-bookmarks/)
Strictly Auto Tags (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/strictly-autotags/)
SEO Smart Links (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-automatic-links/)
SEO Friendly Image (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-image/)
Google XML Sitemaps (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/)
I “network activated” all the plugins and then I went to one of the sites dashboards, and I saw a msg from Google XML Sitemaps saying that the plugin doesn’t work on multisite. Now my problem is that I don’t know if the other plugins will work.
Will I have to test each feature of all the plugins or is there an easier way to know if they work on multisite?
Use this plugin for google sitemap.
For others do not network activate those plugins. Goto individual site and activate it manually.
I installed Contact Form 7 hit network activate and then went to an individual site, ‘contact’ showed up on the dashboard but when I clicked on it it said ‘no item found’ although the title at top of page said ‘Contact Form 7’ I discovered what you need to do is hit the ‘Add new’ button next to it and that will activate it, hope this helps!
