Has this plugin been tested up to 5.8.x ?
Hi. Yes, now I also added the attribute on the plugin page. Thanks for reminding me.
Hi,
We are using the latest version of your plugin, our wordpress dashboard is slow, we install query monitor plugin to see which plugin is requesting a lot of queries, and your plugin is using 37 queries look:

Can you please take a look and release an update to optimize the speed of admin dashboard in multisites wordpress environments ?
Hi. How slow is your dashboard? How many seconds to load? I am asking because all the queries on the page you screenshotted are taking less than half a second in total (visible on the second screeenshot bottom right corner).
Need fix please. The #1 SEO plugin for Wordpress seems to have a conflict with your plugin:

Looks like the same issue igor420420 reported
Hi. Are you using the latest version of my plugin? That issue is fixed there. Also can you tell me the beginning part of this error? There should be an error text before the part that you wrote.
Hi. Really enjoying the plugin so far.
I’m getting great value out of the “Insert Global HTML” feature. There aren’t many (any?) plugins which offer that, and it really is a “must have”.
Now, I’m trying to hide the Active Theme Switcher in the Customizer side bar. I’ve added the following code to both Front End and Back End through your plugin feature.
.wp-customizer #accordion-section-themes .accordion-section-title { display:none; }
However I can’t get it to work. It seems like the Customizer styles are rendered in a “special” way. Any advice?
Hello. Thank you, it is always great to hear that my plugin is useful to people 
. I see what you mean. It looks like the hook I am using for the admin area does not fire in the customizer. But it is an easy fix, I will use another hook for there. Send me an email at nikolay@nikolaydev.com and I will reply there with a new version of the plugin that will do this. Also by the way, if your idea is to forbid people to change themes, this may not be the best way because they can change the CSS code on their browser and they will still have the rights to change the themes. Tell me more about your goal here, I will try to suggest a better way. Regards.
I would like to understand what your “copy sites” module does. I’m looking specifically for a tool that will allow me to copy a single subsites (with a mapped domain) from a multisite to a single subsite on a different multisite. This is so I can have a staging environment and a production site and once the subsite is tested, I will be able to easily promote the site production by copying it to the production multisite.
Hi. It is just to copy subsites within one multisite, not to another one.
How difficult it is to expand this? There doesn’t seem to be any affordable solution out there to have a staging and production multi-site and promote individual sites in staging to production. Unless I’m missing a trick or two, that is such a fundamental feature, yet it’s not generally available.
There are some big problems around this feature. For example, in order for this subsite to work properly in another multisite, you will also need all the plugins that were active on that subsite and also network activated on the first multisite. So you actually need to copy and install all these plugins and set their settings in a way that all works good. In your case maybe they will be duplicate mutlisites, but not all people want to use it like this, and it has to work for them too. Overall moving sites between multisites is not something that goes smoothly even if you do it manually, I don’t want to try to do such an automatic features, it will be too problematic in my opinion. Also I do not recommend that you constantly move sites like this for testing, you will cause more problems in them than you will solve.
Hello, in a subdomain based multisite I have just setup a basic main site with many plugins but no content yet. Is it best practice to generate the ‘template site’ now via adding a new subdomain site and copy the recent main site into it?
Hi. I am not sure what you mean or what you is your goal exactly, maybe you can give me more details. But keep in mind that the main site of the network cannot be copied via my plugin. Also in any case I will say it is good to make a full backup of you multisite if you are not sure if the approach is good, so you can go back in time if needed to that point.
Hi, thanks for the fast reply. I just needed to know best way to create a template site. So I guess I have to add a new subsite, upload all plugins there and configure it the way I want it. Then this template site would be used as a copy for all other subsites added to the network. Is this correct?
Yes, just make the site to be the way you want new sites to be. You can see what options there are in the Copy Maker module in the Template Site section there and choose what you need.
I’ve been looking into your CAPTCHA feature. Is there any way that you could make a future version of this that doesn’t require interaction with the server on each login attempt? I get a lot of brute force attempt logins which I’m managing with Limit Logins Reloaded. After 4 failed attempts the IP is blocked. However, with your CAPTCHA feature I’m not sure that LLR would ever get a chance to fire, so effectively, the server would keep getting hammered.
Does that make sense? I was wondering if there is a way to use a JavaScript validation of the CAPTCHA code or however Google ReCaptcha does it.
Hello.
My plugin has an option to at least not generate an image, and show a less secure text captcha for the login form. This should greatly reduce the server load compared to image generation. But the answer is technically visible and it would be easier to make a bot that bypasses it. Random bots not designed specially for my plugin will still be stopped though, and I doubt anyone even made bots for my plugin. Maybe try that.
I am not sure about about pure JS captcha. I would imaging that since JS can be fully controlled by the visitor, it would not be a good idea. Also how would we stop them from making server requests with JS, since they can turn it off. I don’t know how google captcha works, maybe they use their infinite servers that they have.
I would advise you to use CloudFlare. Their free plan can stop endless amount of bad requests. They have also firewall rules and other cool features. Also you can use a free WP plugin to change your login address and hide it from bots. There is a plugin called WPS Hide Login.
Regards.
I was really hoping to use this plugin to delete the 30k spam users from WP forum (wpforo) on a multisite that I left too open. But they apparently have a role assigned to them. The plugin should have options…delete everyone that’s not Admin, author, etc, in check boxes.
Hi. Thank you for purchasing. I can add a new option. I am not sure yet if this is the best option that you mentioned (all except the default roles), or maybe just give you a field to enter the role that you want to delete. Are all of your spam users the same role? Is it some role made by the plugin wp forum?
Hi Nik, yeah, they are all subscribers.
Maybe two variables? Delete everyone that’s a subscriber from subsite X? It doesn’t matter to me as I don’t use subscribers elsewhere. I’m just thinking that it might be useful to others.
I even tried to delete the subscriber role altogether using the User Role Editor plugin, but it wouldn’t let me.
OK, give me a couple of days, and I will comment here again when I am ready.
Ok, thanks a bunch!
No problem, send me an email at nikolay@nikolaydev.com so I can reply and give you a new version to use for this, since I am not releasing a new version soon.
Holy shit man…that’s incredible support.
Thanks. Well you are kind of lucky that in this case the change is not too hard to do. Sometimes people buy without understanding the features and what they need, and there is nothing we can do, since they need something completely different and hard to do.
I sent you the email BTW m* * * * * * * 7@gmail.com
ok, got it
Hi,
by default, WordPress sends an activation link with user subdomain URL. Is it possible to change this behavior to send a main domain URL?
Hi. The plugin does not have such a feature. I guess it would be possible to develop a plugin that filters the email content and replace the URL with one to the domain, but would that link even work correctly, it will have to be tested. Why do you need this?
I just want a plugin to hide the plugins for different stores on the multistore, is it possible with this? too much code to do? I don’t want any other thing more like spam, security, nothing else, just limit the plugins on the stores in a multistore nerwork.
Hi. Is your multistore a multisite? It can hide plugins on the plugins admin page from site admins in a wordpress multisite. So they cannot see them in the list and cannot control the activate/deactivate status. You can also turn off other modules of my plugin if you do not need them.
