Session description
Admins and engineers in higher education are often tasked with solving a diverse array of challenges, requiring innovation and adaptability in their roles. Managing thousands of sites efficiently is no easy feat, and while WordPress multisite offers a way to simplify this task, it is not without its own set of headaches and constraints. In this talk, we will delve into the reasons we opt for multisite while presenting emerging technologies that offer the same benefits, such as theme and plugin sharing, user management, and more, without the associated limitations and frustrations. Attendees will explore new solutions that provide robust, scalable alternatives to multisite and walk away with actionable steps to improve the performance of your WordPress networks, reducing overhead and enhancing operational efficiency.
