Wordpress Plugins WPMU DEV 4.8 (3.7K reviews)
Running a WordPress Multisite network means keeping track of a lot of different sites. Whether you manage a handful of department blogs or a large collection of client websites, finding a specific site can become a chore. This is a big help when you have dozens of sites to manage. This plugin gives you a simple way to organize every site by category. Instead of scanning through a flat list of site names, you can group them according to your own logic. That might mean grouping by department, by project, by region, or by any other label you choose. The categories appear right in the network admin, so you can quickly filter and see what belongs where. It is built specifically for the Multisite environment, which means it works with the existing site listing and does not require you to set up a separate system. Everything stays inside WordPress, and the categories become a permanent part of your network's structure.
Once categories are assigned, you can display them in a clear, readable way. The plugin gives you the option to show categories as an ordered list or an unordered list. An ordered list uses numbers and works well when you want to indicate a certain progression or priority. An unordered list uses bullets and feels less formal for everyday browsing. You can choose whichever suits the context, and you are not forced to stick with a single style across the entire network. Both formats are easy to scan, so people do not have to dig through a long list of site names. The list is generated by the plugin itself, which means you do not need to write any custom markup. That saves time when you are setting up how the list appears for your network. For network administrators, this makes it much easier to keep the whole system organized and accessible. It also keeps the admin interface tidy.
One of the most useful moments to categorize a site is when it is first created. The plugin adds a category select box to the site signup form. That means new sites are sorted into the right group right away, instead of being added to a default pile that you have to sort out later. This saves a significant amount of time when you are onboarding many new sites at once. You can set up the available categories in advance, so the person creating the site simply picks the one that fits. The category is then attached to the site, so it stays with that site throughout the network. Alongside those categories, you can also assign custom icons. Each category can have its own image or symbol, making the list more visually distinctive. Icons help people identify a category at a glance, especially when site names are not descriptive enough on their own. The whole process becomes smoother as a result.
