Using WP 1 Click LockDown on WordPress Multisite

Installing on a Multisite Network

WP 1 Click LockDown can be activated in two ways on a Multisite network:

• Network activation (recommended for agencies) — activate network-wide from Network Admin → Plugins. This gives you the network dashboard and allows you to push settings to all sites.
• Per-site activation — activate on individual sub-sites as needed. Each site manages its own settings independently.

The Network Admin Dashboard (Agency Plan+)

When the plugin is network-activated with an Agency plan, a "WP 1 Click LockDown" menu item appears in the Network Admin. From here you can:

• Apply the security preset to every site in the network simultaneously.
• Configure settings that are pushed down to all sub-sites.
• Enable "Force these settings across all sites" to prevent sub-site admins from changing them.

Network-Managed Mode

When "Force these settings across all sites" is enabled, WP 1 Click LockDown reads settings from the network options table rather than each site's individual options. Sub-site admins still see the settings dashboard but their changes are overridden at runtime.

Per-Site Custom Login URLs on Multisite

Each sub-site can have its own custom login slug. When network-managed mode is off, each sub-site admin can configure their own login URL. When network-managed mode is on, a single login slug applies to all sites — useful for consistency but means all sub-sites share the same login path.

Applying the Network Preset

1. Go to Network Admin → WP 1 Click LockDown.
2. Click "Apply Network Preset".
3. This pushes all default hardening settings to every site in the network simultaneously, including enabling comment controls, XML-RPC disabling, and login protection on each sub-site.
