How to separate? en Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:19:16 +0000 http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/all-hive-sites-include-common-plugin-admin-how-to-separate#post-788 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:45:37 +0000 cpedraza 788@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>All sites in a hive share the same pool of plugins. However, they do NOT share the same settings, including activation. </p> <p>I run 4 sites in my hive. All the same plugins appear in the plugin panel on the Dashboard for all 4 sites. However, the different sites have different plugins activated, and settings are individually set on each site by each site's admin.</p> <p>If you want to activate/deactivate a plugin or change its settings on one Hive site, go ahead. You'll see it doesn't change the settings on the other sites.</p> <p>Also, a person granted admin privileges on one Hive site doesn't get admin privileges on any other Hive site unless you create a separate admin-level account on the other Hive site(s).</p> <p>The _only_ plugin that doesn't seem to apply to is WP Hive itself. It has its own panel on the lefthand side of the Dashboard, and an admin-level person appears to have access to create a new site in the Hive or edit some limited but important settings in the database.</p> <p>If you want multiple sites from one WP installation with true walls between sites, then WordpressMU is probably what you're looking for.</p> <p>/carlos </p> http://wp-hive.com/forums/topic/all-hive-sites-include-common-plugin-admin-how-to-separate#post-787 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 01:57:32 +0000 pfraterdeus 787@http://wp-hive.com/forums/ <p>Maybe (likely) I'm missing something important or obvious here, but I've just installed a new WP site with WPHive, went through the install just like it was a generic WP site, and have ended up with a site which, in the admin pages, includes the same plugins as my 'original' site (which should exist as a completely separate site!).</p> <p>This seems very peculiar to me, since I intended to have each of these new Hive sites be admin'ed/themed by a different person (students in a design class), but it appears that when they launch their own site, they'll be able to change the settings for Hive globally, adding, or even removing other Hive sites.</p> <p>This doesn't make any sense at all.<br /> Are plug-in settings shared among all the sites created?? The settings for the plugins all seem to be mirroring (or actually ARE) the settings for my 'original' install.</p> <p>SO, if this is as wrong as it seems to me, what have I done wrong to get to this point??</p> <p>OR, have I completely missed the point of this, and in fact, all the blogs created by Hive are intended to be admin'ed by the same person???</p> <p>Thanks very much!</p> <p>Peter<br /> semiotx.com<br /> eiotx.com/wp/ </p>
