Multisite network ​

The free plugin on multisite ​

Super admins can set network defaults that sites without their own settings follow. This needs no Pro license.

Lumtera works on multisite, activated network-wide or on individual sites. Each site has its own results, settings and report. When you delete it, each site keeps or deletes its Lumtera data as set under Lumtera → Settings → General (When Lumtera is deleted). Keeping it is the default. In Network Admin, the Plugins screen says so under Lumtera. See Data & uninstall.

One license for the network ​

Pro Agency and Unlimited plans

If Lumtera Pro is network-activated, one license covers every site in the network, using a single site activation for the network's main address.

  1. Go to Network Admin → Lumtera → License.
  2. Enter your license key and click Save & activate.

Only super admins can manage the network license. On each site, Lumtera → Settings → License shows a read-only summary: "This network's license is managed by the network administrator. It covers every site in the network." Super admins also get a Manage the network license button there.

If the main site already had a license before you network-activated Pro, it's adopted as the network license automatically, without using another activation.

Personal and Growth keys ​

A Personal or Growth key is refused for a network with "Network activation needs the Agency or Unlimited plan…". A refused key doesn't keep an activation.

To use one of these keys on a network, network-deactivate Lumtera Pro, then activate the plugin and the key on each site. Each site then needs its own activation.

If a network already has a license below Agency (for example one adopted from the main site), it keeps working on the main site only. Super admins see a notice in Network Admin explaining this, with See the Agency plan and Upgrade in your account links. Administrators of the other sites see that Lumtera Pro isn't active on their site, and the License section shows Main site only.

Network overview ​

Pro Agency and Unlimited plans

Network Admin → Lumtera → Overview (Accessibility across the network) lists every site in the network with its Score, Errors, Needs review and Checked count, 50 sites per page, with the worst first on each page. Search sites by address (domain or path), and use Open overview to go to that site's Lumtera screens to scan it or see its issues. Only super admins can open it.

Sites where Lumtera isn't active say "Lumtera is not active on this site." Sites that haven't been scanned yet say "Not checked yet."

On a lower plan, the screen says the network overview needs the Agency plan or above, with a link to the network license.

For client sites that aren't in your network, use the Client portfolio (Growth plan and up).

Settings sync ​

Pro Agency and Unlimited plans

Network Admin → Lumtera → Settings sync copies one site's Lumtera settings to others. Choose what to copy: Checks and general settings (not site fixes or the email summary, and each site keeps its own choice for what happens on uninstall), Scheduled checks, Alerts, Ignore rules, Report branding and Fix approvals. You see what would change on each site first, and you can undo it.

Secrets never travel: license keys, tokens, recipients, Slack addresses, logos and each site's own list of pages stay where they are.

Deleting Lumtera Pro on a network ​

Deleting Lumtera Pro removes its settings, schedules, test users and the client role on every site, but keeps audit records (client reports, the evidence log, fix tracking, page check results, test sessions, burden records and so on) and the license key, so a reinstall picks up where you left off. To remove them too, add define( 'LUMTERA_PRO_DELETE_REPORTS', true ); and define( 'LUMTERA_PRO_DELETE_LICENSE', true ); to wp-config.php before deleting. Deleting Lumtera Pro never removes the free Lumtera plugin's data. See Data & uninstall.
