***************************************************************

The TuKod MultiSite Site Names plugin allows you to customize the SiteName portion during the registration (sign-up) process. The plugin is tested to work with the TuKod Multi Networks plugin to allow you to use expanded SiteNames across different Networks and Domain Names. Likewise the plugin is tested to work with the TuKod MultiSite User Names plugin, which allows you to modify the UserName during registration also, even across Networks with different Domain Names!

WordPress Limitations

“Out of the box” WordPress has a number of restrictions on the SiteNames you can register. These restrictions are usually due to older servers, and older code. Most people today do not use this old software, and you can benefit from the following improvements in this plugin.

Features

  • Minimum Length: Set it from 1 to 10 Characters

  • Matching UserNames: SiteNames may be allowed to match existing UserNames.

  • Dash or Hyphen: Use an internal Dash or Hyphen (–) in your SiteNames!

  • Dot or Period: Use an internal Dot or Period (.) in your SiteNames!

  • Tilde: Use an internal Tilde (~) in your SiteNames!

  • Underscore: Use an internal Underscore (_) in your SiteNames!

  • Uppercase: Use uppercase letters (capital A-Z) the same as lowercase letters or numbers!

Selectivity

Any or all of these features may be individually, or selectively, turned on or off with just a click! “Off” reverts back to the normal WordPress behavior.

Compatibility

  • TuKod Multi Networks Plugin

    • These Two Plugins (TuKod Multi Networks and TuKod MultiSite Site Names) work together to allow you to have multiple domain names (Multi Networks or sometimes called Multi Domains ) using sign-up forms with all the features of the TuKod MultiSite Site Names. In this case TuKod MultiSite Site Names automatically self adjusts to the MultiSite Multi Networks Domain Names plugin, and only presents options that are valid withing Sub-Domain Installations.

  • TuKod MultiSite User Names Plugin

    • These Two Plugins (TuKod MultiSite User Names and TuKod MultiSite Site Names) work together to allow people to register UserNames that match their expanded SiteNames as well as a number of other features.

  • All Three of the Above Plugins are designed to work together and offer a very light load on the server.

  • TuKod MultiSite Site Names has been tested and works with a great many other plugins without problems.

Out Of The Box

Below is a list of the Standard WordPress Limitations, which are Fixed by the TuKod MultiSite Site Names Plugin.

Minimum Length

  • This is set at a fixed length of 4 characters minimum.

Existing UserName Match is Not Allowed

  • A new SiteName is not allowed to match any existing UserName.
  • Assume you have three Networks (domains) like:
    • example.com
    • example.net
    • example.org
  • Assume someone registers pizza.example.org with UserName pizza, then the following would be reserved, or blocked, from anyone else using it.
    • pizza.example.com
    • pizza.example.net
  • The more domains you have the worst this becomes.

Hyphen or Dash (-)

  • A hyphen or dash is not allowed anywhere in the SiteName.

Period or Dot (.)

  • A period or dot is not allowed anywhere in the SiteName.

Tilde (~)

  • A tilde is not allowed anywhere in the SiteName.

Underscore (_)

  • A underscore is not allowed anywhere in the SiteName.

Uppercase (-)

  • Uppercase letters are not allowed anywhere in the SiteName.
