Site setup
Set up OnlyAI SEO on a WordPress multisite network
Activate for the network, set the cloud key and defaults once as a super admin, choose what to force on every site, and read the sites table.
Time
15 minutes
What you need
- A WordPress multisite network
- A super admin login
On a network you can activate OnlyAI SEO for every site at once and set the shared things in one place.
Step 1: activate
- In Network Admin, Plugins, upload the zip and press Network Activate (or activate it per site).
- New sites you create afterwards are set up automatically. Network-wide activation sets up the first 100 sites at once; the rest set themselves up the first time an admin opens them.
Step 2: set the network defaults
- Open Network Admin, Settings, OnlyAI SEO.
- Fill in what you want to share: the OnlyAI Cloud key, the AutoArticle AI key, the Serper.dev and ValueSERP keys, score posts frequency, hours between checks of one keyword, rank-tracking country and language, and update the plugin automatically.
- For each one you can tick Force on every site.
- Press Save network settings.
Default or forced?
- Default (not forced): every site uses the network value until its own admin saves a different one. A site that saves the same value as the network keeps following the network, so a later network change still reaches it.
- Forced: the network value wins on every site and site admins cannot change it (changes made on the site are ignored). The site's Settings page says which values are inherited or locked.
Nothing is copied into the sites' own options. Change a value here and every site that follows it changes; remove it and it goes away again.
The sites table
Below the form, a table lists every site with its plugin status, whether it uses its own cloud key, the network key or none, whether Google is connected and whether its setup guide is done. Click a site's name to open its settings.
Things that stay per site
- Google sign-in. Each site signs in from its own address.
- Content, scores, redirects, agents' proposals.
- The AI allowance. All sites sharing one cloud key share its daily AI requests.
- The .htaccess editor is for super admins only, because the file is shared by every site.
