Info
Where images are stored Multisite Uploaded File Path # Your first site on a fresh install will put uploaded files in the traditional location of /wp-content/uploads/, however all subsequent sites on your network will be in the /wp-content/uploads/sites/folder, in their own subfolder based on the site number, designated by the database. These files will be accessible via that URL. This is a change from Multisite 3.0-3.4.2, where images of subsites were stored in /wp-content/blogs.dir/ and were shown in http://example.com/files/ and http://example.com/sitename/files and so on. If you started with a Multisite install older than 3.5, it is not an error if your images show with the URL of /files/. Regardless of WP version, these locations cannot be changed by site admins. Only the network admin can make changes on the site settings page. It is not recommended that you change these without understanding how both the ms-files.php works in conjunction with your .htaccess, as it can easily become non-functional. If the /files/ urls aren’t working, it’s indicative of a misconfigured .htaccess or httpd.conf file on your server. Exampe id 2 http://domain.com/wp-admin/network/site-settings.php?id=2Plugins

WP Multisite Content Copier
Copying pages and posts between sites on your network is easy with WP Multisite Content Copier. It’s similar in functionality to the Multisite Post Duplicator plugin, but I find this one much more intuitive and helpful.
Multisite Post Duplicator
Multisite Post Duplicator lets you clone any individual post, page, or custom post type from any site in your Multisite network to another. The cloned post will be a perfect copy of the original, including all metadata, tags, categories, images, etc.
Relevanssi
One area that WordPress could improve on is its default search functionality. It doesn’t give you enough control over what you want to search and how. And it doesn’t support searches over an entire Multisite network either.
Multisite Plugin Manager
Managing plugins across your Multisite network can become very hectic, especially if you have dozens or even hundreds of sites on your network. Multisite Plugin Manager simplifies plugin management for network admins.
User Switching
If you need to quickly swap between user accounts in your Multisite network, User Switching lets you instantly log out and log back in again as a different user.
User Role Editor

19 Essential Plugins for WordPress Multisite 2019 March 24, 2019VishnuPlugins2 Comments WordPress Multisite allows you to install WordPress just once and to add as many WordPress sites as you want. Manage your network from a single WordPress dashboard with the same username and password. Others can sign up and create their own blogs on your multisite. A multisite network requires a higher level of administrative control. In a multisite environment, the site administrator of the individual sites cannot make too many changes. For example, he cannot change the theme of a site or add plugins. He also cannot change the profiles of the users. Only the administrator for the whole network, called network administrator or super admin, can make these changes. Multisite installation is of two types: domain-based and directory-based. By default, the installation is domain-based. This is to avoid conflict between pages and sites. You can change it to directory-based if you are confident that there will be no conflict. Carefully manage the directory and permalinks in a multisite environment. The super admin is allowed to manage the site settings page. Further, the PHP files and .htaccess should be managed only at the network level. Otherwise, there is every possibility that you may mess up the directories, and the files and folders may become inaccessible. All users who are added to your network have subscriber-level access. This is the default setting in WordPress. To assign different access levels to different users and to manage many other functions in multisites, you will need to install plugins. Plugins will help you in the creation of multiple sites. You can also use plugins to manage your network of sites and to enhance the performance and security of each. All plugins are installed in the dashboard of the Super Admin and then activated or deactivated for individual sites. After you activate a particular site, that site administrator can manage it. You will need some plugins to operate across all the sites. They will not appear on the plugin list of individual sites on the super admin dashboard. You can opt to store the plugins in individual files or folders, and you do not need to activate or deactivate them. If present, you can simply use them. It will help us to understand these plugins better if we view them under three categories. https://colorlib.com/wp/wordpress-multisite-plugins/ I. Plugins that help to build a multisite:
