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

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.

hi, does this plugin only works with 2.8.* version of wordpress? anyway, thanks a lot.
I have tested this only with Wordpress 2.8, may be it may work in lower versions
hello sir, nice plugin, but I when i add new blog, it says, something went wrong, not found, i am using wordpress 2.8.4 on both blogs. thanks
Udit – have you entered the login details correctly. You need to enter the URL of you blog with the user name and password and register the blog which you want to connect to this plugin
hey sir, thanks I got that! Thanks for such a nice plugin! But, How I can add categories for the post? I think that is not supported in the plugin.
You can add categories, tags, etc. You will find the category links on the post page, just click once to add the category
Sir, Please Help me! When I activate your plugin, it creates the error with the header information, I have tested on all my blogs, but problem is same, sir can you please fix it!! I am providing you the scrrenshot!! link: http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/6168/screenshotmanageplugins.png
Udit – I will check this out. Just de-activate and activate the plugin and try. I will clear this bug and release a new version soon. right now I am traveling so it may take some time for me to check this out. I am planning to release a new version in next 15 days time, so please hold on
Hey Sir, I tried the deactivating and than activating the plugin, but it shows same error. But, thanks that you are releasing a new version of this plugin soon
Many Many Thanks.
Hello sir,
One more error in your plugin, when we deactivate, it also creates the error related to header information and also it is not supported in Microshit Internet Explorer, it creates WP admin a mess, all screwed up, nothing in place. Please also check that. Thanks
Udit – I know it does not work with IE, I am working on that, hopefully in the next version, I will set that right, thanks for your feedback
Another great (!) plugin!! Thank you.I have installed it on 3 WPs. All 2.8.4It only works on 1.I am sure my login details and URL are correct.Any advice?
using WPMU in most cases
if you get it working, email me, and I will paypal you.Need 2.8.4, WP and WPMU
Mark, Please give me some time, I am travelling right now.I will update you soon with a new version
Hi KishoreThis sounds like an awesome plugin and something I could put to good use. Just one quick question, does it support multiple installs on one domain or it works on cross domains too?
Zulfikar – It supports both, multiple as well as cross domains
It’s not working when I tried to log-in. I am willing to pay if you make it work. But if there is no support from you, I have to forget about it. I saw the last post was about a week ago. And it seems that you cannot come out with the working version.Too bad. Time is money and if it takes a week and no news from you, I dont think that you are serious about the plugin. My advise is simple. You have to be serious if it is about money. Sorry man.
Lysa – I was on vacation and have just reached back. This plugin is a free one, which is working well for me managing 8 blogs. It may not work for all, depending on the version of the Wordpress that they are using or the PHP version or some other factors. I have spend a lot of time writing this plugin and the reason that I am not selling this plugin is because, I am not in a position to provide support, but for sure, you will find a new version with known bugs cleared very soon
A new version is available for download, please update your installation.
Awesome Kishore
Just downloaded the latest version, many thanks for the quick update
Update : You can now download the latest version from the Wordpress Extension directory – Link Provided above. Please delete the old installation and upload the new files and the folder name is changed.
Works great, thank you
This plugin looks great but….
I got that:”Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /homez.53/smvjhvdw/sloyvycom/wp-content/plugins/kish-multi/kish_multi_wp.class.php on line 3″I don’t see why. any idea
tomy – I think its due to the version of PHP that you are using, can you let me the version of PHP that you are using
It works fine now with upgrading to php5.
Probleme solved. thx
Any chance this plugin is also compatible with Platinum SEO Pack? (Platinum SEO Pack is a fork of All-in-One SEO, which it was my understanding that the original developer had stopped supporting). I will shortly be reviewing your plugin on my site in the category of Productivity/Time Management. Thank you very much for sharing!
Channa – I have currently added only the custom fields for AIO SEO plugin
Hmmm…disappointing. No matter which of my blogs I try to add (and I know the unames and pw are correct), I get the following error:Error – something went wrong not found
Have you enabled Remote Publishing – You need to make sure that you have enabled this for all the blogs that you are connecting to. To do this go to the Admin panel of the blog that you are trying to connect with and then go to the “Writing” link under the setting and enable Atom Publishing Protocol and XML-RPC.
Hi, I am trying to use this but it won’t work. I don’t get an error, it just doesn’t do anything. When I click on “Add a blog and start up” I get the little Ajax loading symbol for a second – then nothing.I have deactivated all other plugins and it still does it. I am on 2.8.4.
Which version of PHP are you using?
Same error with me. PHP: 5.2.4 MySQL: 5.1.30
Please upgrade to the latest version 1.4, it should work fine now
Now your plugin messes up the dashboard ajax features. Menu Dropdowns in dashboard stopped working with your plugin kept active. As soon as I disable your plugin, ajax features start working again.
Could be it is having conflict with some other plugin that you are using. The next version will take care of this
Hi, sorry it took me so long to get back to this. I am using PHP 5.2.4.
I installed the update you released and it still did the same thing – nothing. So, I again deactivated all plugins except this one, then reactivated them all one by one.
You have a conflict with the SEO Ultimate plugin. If I have SEO Ultimate activated, your plugin will not work. I switched to All in One SEO Pack and it works fine.
So, FYI. I will notify the SEO Ultimate plugin author as well.
Thanks for the feedback. I have never used SEO Ultimate plugin, but I use All in one SEO plugin and it works fine
Oh thank you! I didn’t think to do that — duh! Thank you for your diligent support!
This seems like a really useful plugin. I will try this as soon as possible as I am posting on 4 blogs at the moment. It would be really great if I didn’t have to keep checking all the different blogs.Thank you for sharing this plugin with us.
You mentioned other similar plugins? can you give me some examples? your plugin works fine, but I am not moderating and posting to several blogs, I just keep them updated and more, so I’d need a more compelte solution, that lets me access multiple blogs back ends from one single back end.care to give me some other plugin’s name please?
Great Your Article and Plugin
Great plugin and thank you for this very useful tool. I have been looking for something like this. I have 5 blogs and now I can check for pending comments and its great for doing posts too. I really like the option to get related posts from all the blogs – Great work keep it up. I have paypaled you US$ 25, hope this help you in maintaining this plugin
Thanks Rahul
This is a GREAT plugin!!!The only thing I can suggest is to add the ability edit/use the custom fields and toggle the comments&trackback checkbox when posting.Again, nice work!
Thanks Kent, I can work on that, but give me some time
Hello,I’m using simple-post thumbnail and simple-video-embedder plugins which enable me to post video and also thumbnail from “write new post”.However in your section of “write new post”, it doesn’t show up. Is it possible to make it appear? I’m willing to pay for it if you can enable it.Regards,eric
Eric – I have not used those plugins, If its just the update some custom field values, It can be done, send me a link to those plugins so that I can have a look
Kish,
This is the link to the plugin:
http://www.press75.com/plugins/
I really hope that it works.
Regards,
Eric
Eric, it can be done, I will add an option to add custom fields in the next release
Kish,
Good to hear that it will add an option to add cutom fields.
But, can it incorporate to include
1)simple-post thumbnail and
2)simple-video-embedder plugins
Which can be found here:
http://www.press75.com/plugins/
I’m willing to pay for this customization. It’s essential for me.
Thanks,
Eric
Eric – I will install these plugins, test and get back to you
Kish,
Thanks. And I really appreciate your attention on this matter.
Regards,
Eric
How do you cross post between blogs? Explain this feature so that I may understand it better.
Once you do a post, or view a post, you will find the links to do the cross posting. You can cross post the snippets to any of the connected post. Check this link for more information

This plug-in doesn’t work for me 2.84, deactivated every plug-in I have and still nothing. This is a crap plug-in because I tried it at a clean blog with nothing on it and another blog with allot content and still nothing. It just sits there and does nothing when you try to add a blog. As I said I tried it on two different blogs and it did the same thing which is nothing. Good try, but no work means no help to me. Maybe in future you will write a plug-in that works or at least say what it doesn’t work with.
I am sorry that its not working for you, but its working for me and some others who are using it well. Which browser are you using? It does not work with Internet Explorer. Please let me know the error details so that I can make it work
I have multiple sites and can add only one. When I tried to add a second I got this error “Error – Something went wrong not found”
Have you enabled Remote Publishing for the blogs that you are trying to add?
Thanks, got it working. When is the fix for IE
Hi,First of all Very Nice plugin to have a common control on all the available blogs..my question was i have gallery blog where i use nextgen gplugin can we able to access that plugin to manage the gallery..Keep me updating with all the latest developmentsThanks
Srikath – XMLRPC is used in this plugin. I am afraid, we can do much with plugins
Kish,
How about the integration of the plugins that I requaested earlier, which are:
1)simple-post thumbnail and
2)simple-video-embedder plugins
Can it be done?
Regards,
Eric
Eric – Frankly I could not go through that plugin, bit busy with some projects.
have just installed you pluging and can only add one blog, if I try to add more blogs i got an error message “Something went wrong”. i have tripple checked the link, user name and password but always the same error.
Have you enabled Remote Posting
Kishore,This is an excellent plug-in but I have one request. Is there a way to add the approve and reject function of the GT post approval plug-in to the latest blog post section of your plug-in? Any help with adding this to the functionality of your plug-in would be greatly appreciated.Blogger
Kish,Just uninstalled ALL plugins then reactivated this plugin. Buttons in the Admin for the plugin still do not do anything when I click on them.Though you might want to know. What am i missing?
Kish,more data. IN IE 7.0 there is an error in the wp admin that says OBJECT EXPECTED and then goes on to list the file options-general.php?page=kish-multi-wp. there are 3 such errors on 3 lines 892, 893, 894. Hope this helps.dave
David, I have problems with IE, but the plugin works well with Chrome, firefox and safari (I have tested), I have not tested this on Wordpress MU, but till the latest version of regular Wordpress 2.8.4
Kish, On WP MU 2.8.4 so version should be OK. I use FF mostly. I will try on chrome or safari and let you know. What can we do to fix this as I have removed all plugins and that did not fix. Basically it is like the buttons in the admin dead end. When I click, I get no response or action. Any ideas?
Dave
Kish, I figured out the problem with the buttons. There were corruptions in my WP install. Reinstall wp-admin and wp-includes and whalla, the buttons work, as do all other JS related problems on the site. Now, one more challenge for you. I have 27 blogs. the are all subdomains of my main site. fitgolf.com is the main site, and the subsites are subsite.fitgolf.com. I am trying to add the blogs to your plugin. I hav done that with one of them successfully. When I try to register others i am getting username and password errors. I know that the credentials are correct, because the are the same on all the sites. I also know that the username is an ADMIN on all blogs. What am I missing?
Dave
I just figured it out. I had to enable remote publishing on each subsite. That is now done and I can add the blogs.
I am excited. Are there directions somewhere for content sharing across the blogs. I want content from one to appear in the other’s template.
Thanks
Dave
Hello Again Kish. I wanted to tell you that I think I get it. I was able to add all of my blogs. There are two that are not showing in the button list of my blogs. When I go to add them, you plugin give me an error and says that the blogs are already added and that I can edit them. Problem is that I cannot see them to edit them. During the addition of these two blogs there was another error that did not give an explanation, it just said there was an error adding the blog. Any Ideas how I might correct this so I can edit.
Next, is there documentation or dirctions on how to share posts and pages across blogs?
Thanks. This look quite cool and useful
Dave
David, I have a small How To page here – http://www.kisaso.com/technology/kish-multiple-blog-managing-tool-how-to-use-it/
Kish, I now have the plugin working fully in my WP install. It does work very well in 2.8.4 MU. Thanks this is fabulous. One question, I figured out how to display snipets of one post on another site. Is there a way to display and entire post or page on a different site? that would really be awesome as we have several pages and posts that need to be the same on several blogs. Is that possible? if so, how. if not, can that be added as a functionality?
Thanks
Dave
Hi Kish,Using the latest version of WP, 2.8.5, installed the plugin, and enabled the remote publishing on all blogs, but not all the plugin features appear to be showing up. I have added 3 blogs, but only get blue boxes with no names where the named links should be, the cross posting links are not present and I do not have a thumbnail of the blog in the blog info box, only a message saying the thumbnail has been queued. Also I cannot move the sections by using the mouse and holding down the left button. Can you advise please. Bill
Great plugin but… I get multiple errors after adding a blog.. for example:—————Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/facefitn/public_html/wp-admin/includes/post.php on line 1363Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/facefitn/public_html/wp-content/plugins/kish-multi/functions.php on line 1605You have 0 tags on your blogThe biggest tag count is for which isWarning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/facefitn/public_html/wp-content/plugins/kish-multi/functions.php on line 1617Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/facefitn/public_html/wp-content/plugins/kish-multi/functions.php on line 1207—————I use WP 2.8.4 and my PHP version is 5.2.9Please helpJohn
Need to check that..
Help!! I have been unable to add any blogs using this plugin. Every time it just gives the “Not Found” error. All the blogs I have tried are using the latest version of WP (2.8.5). Remote publishing is enabled and the URL and login information is correct. I have even tried on clean setups with no other plugins installed. My server is configured for PHP5. I am out of ideas.
I am having the same problem. WP 2.9.1, Remote publishing activated as well as XML-RPC. Would love to use this and contribute once working!
Hi,Great plug-, works well – only thing is it is not passing keywords and description; I have All in one SEO plugin enabled on the receiving site, and enter the kws, title, and description on your plugin, but the kws and description do not pass properly and are not saved.Is this a known issue?Thanks!
Sean – During my tests are usage, it was working fine, anyway, I will check this out again because there were some upgrades released from All in One SEO plugins
Appreciated in developing this plug-in, works really fast.
Wonderful plugin! Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication to the community and this application.
I have installed the plugin on one of my sites and the remote publishing works great, however i cannot seem to add the blog the plugin is attached to, it always shows Error – Something went wrong not found. As i stated before it publishes to the other sites fine. Any thoughts on this? I am using WP 2.8.6 with php5 is this the reason?
Hi Kishore,I have one questions, does the plugin allow posting at multiple blogs at the same time ?When are you releasing the Pro version.Thanks,
Matias – Yes can be used to update posts to all the connected blogs. Pro Version .. Still working and testing..
Hi Kishore ! I am getting the same error that most of people has
“I have installed the plugin on one of my sites and the remote publishing works great, however i cannot seem to add the blog the plugin is attached to, it always shows Error – Something went wrong not found.Any thoughts on this? I am using WP Version 2.9.1 with php5 ”
I can pay you via paypal if you help me on this please !
jey – I am working on a new version, thanks for your feedback, I will check this out
Kishore…I am running windows server-IIS, php5, WP 2.9.1-IIS, and Firefox. Your plugin seems to install just fine. It says it is activated, however, in the Kish Multi WP settings window when I click on any of the buttons nothing happens. Not sure what I did or am doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated. This plugin seems to be exactly what I need. I would like to see it in action. Thanks!
armand – I think its the problem with the path to the javascript file. I have not tested this plugin on IIS Windows server. I will be fixing this in the next version which is expected in next 10 days with lots of improvements. Thanks for your feedback and please hold on till the next version
