Description

Batch Create creates multiple subsites in WordPress Multisite networks from a single CSV file, automating the setup of title, slug, administrator, and description for each new site. Developed by WPMU DEV, it is designed for those who manage Multisite networks (universities, agencies selling subdomains, internal corporate networks) and replaces repetitive manual registration with batch import running directly in the Network panel.

Main Features of Batch Create

  • CSV file import
    Reads a CSV with one row per site to create all subsites in sequence.
  • Attributes per CSV row
    Maps title, slug, description, and admin of each subsite from the file’s columns.
  • Administrator assignment
    Assigns an admin user to each new subsite using existing email or ID.
  • Operation in Network Admin
    Runs in the WordPress Multisite network panel, respecting superadmin permissions.
  • Standardized configuration
    Applies the same parameters to all imported subsites to maintain network consistency.

Benefits of Batch Create

  • Mass provisioning
    Creates dozens or hundreds of subsites without repeating manual registration forms.
  • Network standardization
    Ensures all subsites start with the same parameters and structure.
  • Reduced operation time
    Replaces hours of repetitive registration with minutes of batch execution.
  • Scales without extra work
    Keeps up with network growth without increasing the workload on administrators.

Who Is Batch Create For?

  • Managers of university Multisite networks who need to open subsites for classes, departments, or events each semester.
  • Agencies provisioning standardized subdomains for multiple clients on a single WordPress infrastructure.
  • Managers of corporate intranets based on Multisite who need to create departmental areas at scale.

How to Download Batch Create

Batch Create is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it via Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the file, and activate it network-wide. The batch creation menu appears in the Network Admin panel after activation.

In a Multisite network that needs to add 50, 200, or 1000 new subsites at once, manual registration via wp-admin is unfeasible: each creation involves clicks, validations, and time. Batch Create solves this bottleneck by reading a pre-prepared CSV and instantiating all sites with their defined attributes, ensuring consistency among them. Particularly useful during academic enrollment seasons, client onboarding in agencies, and departmental network expansion.
