Eg. If you add a network of 10 sites, you are adding 10 new websites to your plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Core, plugin &amp; theme updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can not perform core, plugin and theme updates for Multisites from your Glow account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, just continue to update them from within the WordPress dashboard and thanks to Glow&#8217;s <code><a href=\"https:\/\/getglow.io\/features\/timeline\/\">Timeline<\/a><\/code> feature, all updates will get recorded against the respective site in the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wiki-note\"><strong>Note: <\/strong>Eg. Let&#8217;s say Yoast SEO is installed on 5 out of 10 sites in the network. You update the plugin. <code>Timeline<\/code> in Glow will then show confirmation that this update has been performed on those 5 sites and not on the other 5 (where Yoast SEO is not installed\/active).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backups for Multisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For backups, Glow integrates with <a href=\"https:\/\/updraftplus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UpdraftPlus<\/a>. You don&#8217;t need to pay for UpdraftPlus for the majority of their functionality. However, if you&#8217;d like the ability to backup your Multisite network, you&#8217;ll need their <a href=\"https:\/\/updraftplus.com\/shop\/updraftplus-premium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">premium subscription<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wiki-note\"><strong>Note: <\/strong>We will be able to save you money a premium subscription with Updraft, so ask our support team before purchasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve got this in place, Glow will record all backups and they will sync with <a href=\"https:\/\/getglow.io\/features\/reports\/\">client reports<\/a> just as they do with regular sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glow&#8217;s WordPress Multisites feature allows you to manage an entire Multisite Network from the same place as all your regular WordPress sites.
