ShahiAssist provides comprehensive support for WordPress Multisite installations and WP-CLI for command-line management. This guide covers configuration, usage, and best practices for these advanced deployment scenarios.

Multisite Support

Network Activation

ShahiAssist can be activated network-wide or per-site in a multisite installation.

Network-Wide Activation

1. Go to Network Admin → Plugins
2. Find ShahiAssist and click Network Activate
3. The plugin will be available on all sites

Per-Site Activation


4. Go to individual site Dashboard → Plugins
5. Activate ShahiAssist for that specific site
6. Each site maintains separate data and settings

Multisite Configuration


Shared Settings


For network-wide settings:
`php
// In wp-config.php or custom plugin
define(‘SHAHIASSISTNETWORK_SETTINGS’, true);

// Network settings override site settings
addfilter(‘shahiassistgetsetting’, function($value, $key) {
if (SHAHIASSISTNETWORK_SETTINGS) {
$networkvalue = getsiteoption(‘shahiassist_’ . $key);
if ($network_value !== false) {
return $network_value;
}
}
return $value;
}, 10, 2);
`

Site-Specific Settings


Allow sites to override network settings:
`php
addfilter(‘shahiassistsettingsfields’, function($fields) {
if (is_multisite()) {
$fields[‘allowsiteoverride’] = [
‘type’ => ‘checkbox’,
‘label’ => __(‘Allow sites to override network settings’, ‘shahi-assist’),
‘default’ => false,
];
}
return $fields;
});
`

Data Isolation


In multisite, data is automatically isolated per site:

• Tickets belong to the site where they were created
• KB articles are site-specific
• Settings are stored per-site unless configured otherwise

Network Admin Features


`php
// Add network admin menu
addaction(‘networkadmin_menu’, function() {
addmenupage(
‘ShahiAssist Network’,
‘ShahiAssist’,
‘manage_network’,
‘shahi-assist-network’,
‘shahiassistnetwork_page’,
‘dashicons-admin-tools’
);
});

function shahiassistnetwork_page() {
?>

toblog($site->blog_id);
$totaltickets += wpcount_posts(‘ticket’)->publish;
$totalarticles += wpcountposts(‘kbarticle’)->publish;
restorecurrentblog();
}
?>

_(‘Total Tickets: %d’, ‘shahi-assist’), $totaltickets); ?>

_(‘Total KB Articles: %d’, ‘shahi-assist’), $totalarticles); ?>
