Manage Content Across WordPress Multisite Networks with a Centralized Plugin

New Plugin Alert!

Managing content on a WordPress multisite network can be difficult. You often need to update the same content on many subsites, which takes time and can lead to mistakes.

Centralized Content Management by Multidots is a WordPress plugin built for multisite networks where content needs to stay consistent across multiple websites.

Instead of updating the same content again and again on each subsite, this plugin lets you create and manage content from one central site and then sync it to selected subsites. This makes it easier to manage large networks and reduces the risk of outdated or inconsistent information.

What the Centralized Content Management Plugin Does

Centralized Content Management is built for WordPress multisite networks. It allows you to choose one site as the central site. Content created on this site can then be shared with other subsites based on your settings.

With this plugin, you can:

• Create and update content from one central dashboard
• Sync content only to selected subsites
• Control which content types are shared
• Keep the same content across your network
• Reduce duplicate work

Who Should Use This Plugin?

Centralized Content Management is useful for anyone running a WordPress multisite network, including:

• Publishers managing multiple websites
• Companies running regional or brand sites
• Universities or institutions with many subsites
• Agencies managing multisite client setups
• Any team that needs the same content across sites

If you want better control and less manual work, this plugin is a good fit.

Plugin Structure and Network Settings 

The plugin works from the Network Admin dashboard and makes content syncing clear and predictable.

Here’s everything you can accomplish with this plugin: 

1. Sync Only the Subsites You Need

Not every subsite needs the same content. That is why the plugin supports selective site synchronization.

You can enable syncing for specific subsites and leave others untouched. This makes it easy to manage regional sites, brand variations, or department-based subsites within the same network.

Each subsite can be included or excluded with simple toggle controls.

2. Control What Content Gets Synced

Centralized Content Management supports multiple content types, so you are not limited to just posts.

You can choose to sync:

• Posts and pages
• Categories, tags, and other taxonomies
• Media files such as images

Sync Settings

This gives you clear control over how much content is shared across the network.

3. Manage Media and Post Relationships

When media syncing is enabled, files uploaded on the central site can be mirrored across selected subsites. This helps keep images and assets consistent and avoids repeated uploads.

You can also sync user associations, so authors and editors remain linked correctly when content is shared across sites.

4. Decide Who Can Edit Synced Content

The plugin allows you to control whether subsites can modify synced content.

If this option is enabled, subsites can make their own edits after syncing. If disabled, the content remains locked and fully controlled by the central site. This is useful when strict content consistency is required.

You can also choose whether content should be deleted on subsites when it is deleted from the central site. This helps keep the network clean and aligned.

5. Bulk Sync and Sync Logs

For larger updates, the plugin supports bulk syncing, allowing you to push multiple pieces of content at once.

Bulk Sync Settings

To keep everything transparent, the plugin includes sync logs. These logs show when content was synced, where it was sent, and whether it was a manual or bulk action.

If you manage more than one site under a multisite setup and want better control over shared content, this plugin fits naturally into your workflow.

• Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu
• Open the Network Admin dashboard
