A while back prior to WP 5.2 we used to be able to modify your plug-in so that it was global in scope. Global meaning that a change in any site would affect the entire multi-site. We did this by making a small change replacing “get_option” with “get_site_option” and “update_option” with “update_site_option” as shown below from these two methods in the shortcoder.php file:
`public static function list_all(){
$shortcodes = get_site_option( ‘shortcoder_data’ );
return empty( $shortcodes ) ? array() : $shortcodes;
}`
`public static function on_activate(){
$shortcodes = self::list_all();
$sc_flags = get_site_option( ‘shortcoder_flags’ );
// Move the flag version fix to sc_flags option
if( isset( $shortcodes[ ‘_version_fix’ ] ) ){
unset( $shortcodes[‘_version_fix’] );
update_site_option( ‘shortcoder_data’, $shortcodes );
}
$sc_flags[ ‘version’ ] = SC_VERSION;
update_site_option( ‘shortcoder_flags’, $sc_flags );
}`
This worked up to the WP 5.2 update and then stopped working. The ability to use your Shortcoder plugin globally for our multi-site was amazing and saved us a lot of time exporting and importing Shortcoder files to all our sites. I’m not sure what in the 5.2 update broke this functionality but assuming that it works again it would really be awesome if you could adjust these two methods so that they could either save on a per site basis (like it is currently) but also add a global (across entire multi-site) option as well. Having this as a setting for Shorcoder would greatly help us.
Thank you for your consideration,
