Multisite Support $199

    I used a multisite since 2014 to make managing of 2 private blogs easier (plugin / theme / wordpress updates). I understand that a commercial use should be paid accordingly, especially if a site runs hundreds of wordpress installations.
    .
    So I could understand implementing restrictions to migrate blogs from the network admin on, but that I cannot use the plugin from within the 2 sites, by hand, is something that I cannot understand (the plugin requires network activation).
    It is not different from exporting, importing a normal wordpress site and thus I think the 199 are a greedy grasp in my opinion(!!!), hence the low rating.

    Sites in a WordPress Network have many similarities to Single WordPress sites but also many differences. Exporting a site from the network with the plugin will produce incomplete data that will break the site when it is imported/restored.
    The things that come to my mind without digging deep are:

    • wp-content/uploads structure is different. There are 2 different structures for Multisite depending on the version of WordPress: blogs.dir and sites
    • users that belong to the site. All users from the network can leave a comment under any site of the network
    • Network activated plugins
    • Network activated themes
    • WordPress Network only plugins – these don’t work on Single site
    • The database structure of WordPress network differs from that of WordPress single site

    I was going to make the same complaint: non-commercial use should be allowed. But I do understand what @yaniiliev is saying. A multisite network is WAY different structurally than a stand-alone site. Unfortunately, I still won’t pay $199 for personal use. I’ll just have to do it the hard way.
