“However it seems that I can’t just convert to multisite” I have no idea why he told you that, because it is possible. I mean,…. it’s kind of the whole point of why multisite was merged in – so existing sites could just turn it on. User roles on the main site will stay exactly … Read more
Try this in wp-config.php: define( ‘WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL’, true );
