Description
Set Blog Description on Blog Creation automatically fills in the description field for every new site as soon as it is created inside a WordPress multisite network, using a default text set beforehand by the network administrator. Whoever administers a network with dozens or hundreds of subsites no longer needs to open each site’s dashboard to manually edit this field right after creation, saving a repetitive step when expanding the network.
