Discovering Handy Network Plugins
Although some of the network plugins we suggest in this section may not be suitable for all networks, we recommend these plugins because we find them most useful. In the list below, we cover each plugin and any special instructions it might require.
You can find network plugins that take advantage of WordPress's multisite functionality in the WordPress Plugin Directory at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins. Usually, Multisite plugins are tagged with certain keywords within the directory to help you find them better, such as wpmu, wordpressmu, multisite, and network.
When you click on the linked tags in the directory for these terms, you are taken directly to a URL for a page that lists the related plugins, such as
- http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/multisite
- http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/network
- http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/wpmu
Additionally, you can find more plugins via search engines and by asking on the Forums page (http://wordpress.org/support).
