WordPress plugin for managing sites categories.
The plugin adds a new field "category" to the Site Info screen. A sortable column is also added in the Sites list screen. A Categories submenu is created under Sites, add or remove categories there.
The column mature
in the table wp_blogs
is being used as index to the categories.
This is a workaround to allow sorting the sites based on categories.
There's a filter being applied (except in the sites screen) that tells WordPress that the site is not mature:
if( 'sites.php' != $pagenow )
add_filter( 'site_details', array( $this, 'hack_mature_queries' ) );
public function hack_mature_queries( $details )
{
$details->mature = 0;
return $details;
}
Sooo... this workaround assumes the Multisite doesn't contain mature material ;)
Right now, there's no category selection when creating or signing up for new sites.
The code from the old plugin is still present, but inactive.
To be able to sort the sites, the logic changed a lot and I haven't revised the new site features.
Available hooks:
// Cache time, default 3600 (1hour)
add_filter( 'msc_transient_time', function(){ return 1; } );
// For debugging purposes
add_filter( 'msc_show_mature_column', '__return_true' );

Here's a copy of the first version of the plugin.
- Unpack the download-package
- Upload the file to the
/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Activate the plugin through the 'Network Plugins' menu in WordPress
Sites Manager showing the debug column mature.
