I had earlier written a post related to my new WordPress plugin to Manage multiple blogs. This plugin is for people who maintain multiple blogs. I have used ajax, so there is only one page to load and its fast and easy to use.
Installation – As simple as any regular plugin. You need to unzip the files and upload to your plugins directory. You need to make the upload directory inside the uploadify folder. Images are temporarily uploaded to this folder before moving to the respective blog upload directory.
Scripts Used – JQuery, Uploadify
What can you do with this plugin
Manage Blogs for this plugin
Add new blogs, edit blog settings, delete added blog
Manage Comments
You can moderate comments on all the blogs connected using this plugin. The home page gives you all the pending comments from all the blogs that you have connected.
You can reply to a comment, mark a comment as spam and pending. An additional feature which is not available with the default wordpress installation is reply via email. All the comment reply sends and email to the author of the parent comment.

Thank you, Kishore. There was one point that was not clear to me (I’m new to WP and plugins). Where exactly should I upload the plugin? I know there is wp-content\plugins. Your plugin has an “uploadify” folder. Would you mind describing what files of your plugin go into what folders. I have looked for this information and did not see anything about it. Part of my problem may be that I have not loaded thing in the proper place. Thank you very much.
You just have to upload the entire plugin folder to your plugins directory , same as regular plugin
Hi Kishore…sorry to belabor this point but its a bit confusing to me. In your installation section you say this:
>>Installation – As simple as any regular plugin. You need to >>unzip the files and upload to your plugins directory.
then you say:
>>You need to make the upload directory inside the uploadify >>folder.
If I put your plugin in the …\wp-content\plugins folder I get a files not found…but if I put the files in …\wp-content\plugins\uploadify then the plugin can be activated…but in my IIS case the buttons don’t work after that..
So I am just trying to clarify where these files are suppose to go. It may be that the buttons are not working because I am putting these files in the wrong place. Thank you for your patience, all your hard work on this plugin…and for sharing it.
armand – Yea, you need to upload the plugin to the plugins directory. Nothing needs to be changed. As I told you, the plugin has to read the directory path for using different scripts, and being Windows server, there could be some error in that. Please hold on, I will be back in a few days with a new version
Hi Kishore,I am trying to activate the plugin, and I am getting a fatal error. In another wordpress mu system, I can’t click on the button that says “add blog a blog and start up.” Is there a reason for this? Is the plugin being updated and not working properly? I will definitely buy you a beer if this works. I’ve been looking for a plugin such as this for several weeks now!Amber
@Amber – This plugin will not work for Wordpress MU, but I will get a MU version soon as I am testing this on my MU installation
That is awesome to hear that you are setting it up for Wordpress MU. When do you expect to release the plugin?
Adding a blog doesn’t seem to work ? Am I missing something ? I am sure the link and login is correct.
I’ve installed your plugin and I’m having problems adding certain wp blogs. I’ve added two without issue, but I have 3 others that it won’t accept. It keeps popping up an error “Error something went wrong, not found”. I’ve confirmed that the url is correct and the username and password are correct, too. Any ideas what the problem might me. This looks like a great plug-in and I can’t wait to use it, but it won’t help me much if I can’t get all the blogs I manage setup.Thanks again for the plug-in.
Hi Kishore,
Thanks for this plugin, while I haven’t got it working yet, it looks to be at the the very least a solid code-base to start with.
It looks like someone named “Musa Aykac” has copied your code and is taking the credit, AND building a list of email addresses with your work here: http://www.managemultipleblogs.com/
His readme.txt file is exactly the same as yours, except he’s removed your donate link, and the link to this blog.
Excerpt:
=== Musa Multi ===
Contributors: Musa Aykac
Tags: Manage Blogs, Admin Tools
Requires at least: 2.8
Tested up to: 2.8.4
Stable tag: 1.1
JK true, I knew about it. That’s the reason I have stopped supporting this plugin. I have stopped open source development. I had written to this guy and told to remove it, but he has not done it.
so your not gonna improve probably the best plugin for blog managment? none of us can really get it working it seems… but from the description it looks like a great solution…the only thing I would want added is the support of dynamic navigation bars, that are the same across the blogs… that and pages.but I am sorry to hear your not developing it anymore because of some jerk…
oh well, sad to say I never got to really try it….
In fact I am using this plugin to manage all my blogs, even these comments are moderated and replied using this plugin. I think there could be some bug depending on the version of PHP or WordPress. As I mentioned above, right now I am not planning any release of a new version
Matt,
I had the same problem as you.
I don’t think this plugin works for the latest version of WP.
Reed
Kishore:
What would it take to get this plug-in working for WP 2.9.2? It may be a perfect fit for a project I’m working on so it is of value to me. You can email me if need be if you are interested in further development.
I am receiving the same error as the comments above. “Error something went wrong, not found” when attempting to add a blog.
Many thanks.
Dave – have you enabled atom publishing in the Writing settings of the blog that you have added?
If this does what it’s supposed to do, and works for newer WP versions, then I’d be willing to support development. This is something I and many other bloggers absolutely need!Kshore, don’t give up on it simply because some jerk has stole it and is building a list from your efforts. Make it a paid plugin (for a reasonable amount), and we’ll happily support you for updates on releases.Just my 2 cents.
Hi there,I tried to use your plugin but did not work. Can you help me ? I have an error… I don’t know what I’m wrong.
Now work… I used a wrong path for the website http://www.president-deva.ro/restaurant/wp-admin – wrong – http://www.president-deva.ro/restaurant/ – good and work
Hey, if you’re going to open source then you have to expect others may try to fork different versions. Just keep improving your version, and you’ll leave the others behind in the dust. If you license yours under the GPL, then we can take the improvements made in other forks and fold them back in.One thing you haven’t made clear is whether this is a tool for managing specific blogs on one server, managing all blogs on one server, or managing specific blogs which are on several servers.
With this plugin, you can manage any wordpress blog hosted on any server
hey guys, good news if you cannot add the sites. If you get the error “something went wrong, not found” when attempting to add a blog, what you have to do is make sure that you have teh remote publishing enabled on all blogs that you want to add, not just the blog where the plugin is added.eg: if you have 3 blogswww.a.com/awww.a.com/bwww.a.com/cthe the remote publishing has to be on in all three blogs. Then go ahead and add the blogs with the user name and password
Kishore you have to get back to this plug in.Maybe even make a premium version. I would gladly pay for this and I am sure I am not alone, you can make some serious money with this.
Chris – I have already finished a pro version of this which will be a paid version with lots of improvements. I have added some very requested features. I will be launching it on the 1st of June. Will post the update
This plugin works fine if you activate the right setting.Install in one blog. Have user name & pwd for other blog.In both blogs, go to Settings/Writing and check box: Enable the WordPress, Movable Type, MetaWeblog and Blogger XML-RPC publishing protocols.Then enter user name/pwd and it works just fine with 2.9+.
Kishore, I need this plug in as well. I will have 40 blogs to manage, feel free to email me when your premium is done.
Yes the plugin is ready with some cool features. You can get it on the 1st June
I have released the Pro Version of Kish Multi which is called Kish Multi Pro. If you are interested, you can find more information at http://kishpress.com/kish-multi-pro/
Have added some cool features and most of the bugs are cleared
We may have to bury that thief who stole your code mafia style. Anyhow in 5 days it will be June 1st so I can definitely wait 5 days especially since I am still working on my first blog. Let me know please.
Hey Kishore do you knwo any way so I can make blogs with SAME plug in but to change only few settings. How can I do that with thesis?
Hi Krish,Seems like your plugin maybe the answer to my multiblogging woes. However, I am 1 step away from purchasing the plugin- What about different themes, plugins etc for each blog that is setup using KMPro??? Please answer ASAP as I am fed-up after almost yr of bouncing between different products.Thanks and best regards
Raj : Kish Multi Pro can do things like Moderating comments, writing new posts, editing posts, crossposting, blogging from feeds, blogging from Google Reader, etc. This plugin supports everything possible through XMLRPC protocol for any WordPress installation on any server or multiple domains. Things like managing themes, plugins are not supported by XMLRPC protocol so you cannot do that using this plugin. This plugin makes blogging very easy and efficiently. You can manage unlimited number of blogs.
Very nice! Thanks for making this available – eventhough I’ve got a small army of people managing my blogs, I’ve got about a dozen blogs in various niches and this was very helpful in keeping them all updated and checking into them ensuring everything is working as it should.
This is great! Kishore, can I ask how secure this plugin is, since it will have passwords etc to all the blogs…Also is the license good for multiple server installations?Thanks!!
Marcy – You have the plugin installed on your blog, so you are not storing the passwords on a third party site. All WordPress security is implemented, so I don\’t see any security issues. You do need to install this plugin only on one blog and you can configure all your blogs using this plugin. You do not have to install it on multiple server.
Hi Kishore, I have successfully used your plug-in. So as admin user I am able to add multiple blogs.Is there a facility to assign different blogs to different users. Like I have 4 users with different roles. Editor/Subs/Admin/Etc.. I want admin to control all blogs, but editor to manage just 2-3 blogs.Please suggest if this provision is available.
Amit, currently, this plugin is accessible only to User Level 8, so we cannot give access to any users with lower levels. This can be done by some customization.
