This is a group of mostly small plugins needed for multi site installs. Most of these plugins only do one thing, but a few others add major updates to WordPress.

This repository should be put in the root of wp-content/mu-plugins so each active plugin is directly in mu-plugins, not in a sub folder. If you do not have a mu-plugins folder, you may simply run the following from the your wordpress root directory:

git clone git://github.com/mattrude/mdr-network.git wp-content/mu-plugins
