Why can't i individually activate Smart Crawl on a per site basis?

I would like to individually activate smart crawl pro plugin on a per site basis in my multisite wordpress set up, or activate the plugin based on levels…but I can’t.

It seems i should have the option of doing it the way I want, or the option of network activation to take advantage of those network features you have created.

Why block individual site activation, what advantage does that create?

Can you suggest a workaround other than installing yeost?

    just reviewing the file config.php, and seeing this:

    // you can override this in wp-config.php to enable blog-by-blog settings in multisite.
    
if ( ! defined( 'SMARTCRAWL_SITEWIDE' ) ) { define( 'SMARTCRAWL_SITEWIDE', get_site_option( 'wds_sitewide_mode', true ) ); }

    So maybe what i want can happen? Rupok could you comment as well? Anything I should look out for? It seems like these options do exactly what I want which would be awesome.

    Hi Ben,

    The above code you mentioned is what it was previously used in SC to allow SC option on subsites, you had to add a define in wp-config.php, but this is now changed and it can be configured from plugin settings.

    You can go to SmartCrawl > Settings in your network admin and enable

    Sitewide Mode from there, and the wp-config.php option will still work so you can also add define(‘WDS_SITEWIDE’, false); in wp-config.php to enable sitewide mode.

    However, this will still not allow to scan subsites, but it is something that will be changed in future.

    Best regards,

    Predrag

    I am trying to make it work with pro-sites, so the ” SmartCrawl > Settings ” would not work. Would removing * Network: true be a way i could then enable it on a persite basis to get all the seo tools without the scanning? Ie i want to use redirect settings, set up micro data, manually set titles and summary data, ect

    Hello Ben

    Currently there’s no integration of that kind with Pro Sites.

    You can let sub-site admins access SmarCrawl settigns (if in Network Admin -> SmartCrawl – Settings you enable modules in “Site Owner Permission”, switch the “Sitewide Mode” option there and set relevant user-roles in “User Roles” section of SmartCrawl’s Network Settings). However, that currently cannot be assigned on “per Pro Sites level” user role.

    It would require some custom development to be done at this stage. We can move this thread to our “Features and Feedback” forum if you want so other Members of our Community could vote for such an integration too.

    Kind regards,

    Adam
