WordPress Multisite setup

1 min read

Opti-Behavior runs on WordPress Multisite. Each site in the network keeps its own analytics data and its own settings, because data is stored in per-site database tables and per-site upload folders.

How Multisite storage works #

Analytics tables use each site’s own table prefix, and file-based storage is written under that site’s uploads directory. This means data is isolated per subsite by design; there is no shared network-wide dashboard.

Requirements #

Steps to set up on a network #

  1. Install Opti-Behavior in the network’s plugins directory.
  2. Activate it per site (Site Admin → Plugins) rather than network-activating, so each site owner controls their own settings.
  3. On first activation, each site creates its own analytics tables and its own opti-behavior-data upload folder.
  4. Configure privacy and tracking on each site under Opti-Behavior → Settings.

Expected result #

Every activated subsite tracks and reports independently, with its own dashboard, heatmaps and settings.

Troubleshooting #

  • No data on a subsite: confirm the plugin is active on that specific site, not only network-wide.
  • Storage questions: each site’s usage is shown on its own Storage screen; see storage overview.
  • Cleaning up a site: use that site’s Danger Zone or uninstall cleanly to remove its data only.

FAQ #

Is there a network-wide combined dashboard? #

No. Data is isolated per subsite, so each site’s dashboard shows only its own traffic.

Can different subsites use different privacy modes? #

Yes. Privacy settings are per site.
