WPMUDEV Site Categories

Description

Site Categories organizes WordPress Multisite networks by thematic categories, adding a custom taxonomy to the Network Admin that allows grouping and classifying sites created within the network. The extension adds a category selector to the site creation form and provides filters in the management panel, ideal for those managing Multisite networks with tens or hundreds of subsites and needing a visual grouping criterion by niche, department or client.

Key Features of Site Categories

• Category taxonomy in the network
  Creates a manageable category structure directly within the Multisite Network Admin.
• Classification in site registration
  Adds a category selection field to the new subsite creation form.
• Filters in the Sites panel
  Allows filtering the network’s site list by the assigned category.
• Category hierarchy
  Supports parent and child categories, building thematic trees to organize large networks.
• Post-edit by subsite
  Reclassifies existing sites by changing the category at any time via the network panel.

Benefits of Site Categories

• Organized network view
  Ends the stack of uncategorized sites panel, grouping subsites by clear context.
• Quick subsite locating
  Reduces time spent searching for a specific site in high-volume networks.
• Segmentation by client or niche
  Facilitates logical separation of sites belonging to different accounts, departments or segments.
• Scalable management
  Keeps the Network Admin navigable even as the network grows in number of installations.

Who Should Use Site Categories?

• Those who manage WordPress Multisite networks with tens or hundreds of subsites.
• Agencies that maintain different client sites within the same network and need to separate by account.
• Universities, schools and institutions running departmental sites on a single network.

How to Download Site Categories

Site Categories is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate it on the network (Network Activate). After activation, the category option appears in the Network Admin, in the network site management menu.

Recommended for Multisite network administrators who have grown to the point where the default site listing is difficult to navigate, Site Categories introduces a taxonomy-based organization axis that integrates into the native Network Admin flow. The practical benefit appears already with the first dozen subsites, turning a linear list into a segmented and filterable structure by context.
