I just created a WordPress multisite installation. It’s not the simplest thing to do, but I think I got things mostly working using domain-based sub-sites. The first thing I had trouble with was uploaded images not displaying in the sub-sites, although they still worked in the main site (this site). I could upload images with no problems, either as a post featured image or as an image embedded in a post. The image file would make it into the correct directory on the server (blogs.dir/[blog id#]/year/month/day). I could also edit the image in the WordPress editor.

Simple Retail Menus version 2.0 Released
I updated the plugin with a couple of minor but useful changes.
The first change is that you can now add a menu to the Sidebar of your WP site by adding the menu shortcode to the Sidebar Text Widget.
The second update is a change in the shortcode markup. Previously the menu was designated in the shortcode by the name of the menu, which limited the characters you could use in the menu name. I’ve changed this to use the database ID of the menu, which is a little more robust and will add more flexibility to the plugin.
You can still use ‘name’ in the shortcode, but going forward, using ‘id’ is the better way to do things.
You might also notice a more prominent reminder that I do like donations… they encourage me to keep developing this plugin

Simple Retail Menus Custom Class Example

You also need to set the class option in your Shortcode to include class=”custom-menu”.
Of course, you can edit and rename these style to suit your application.
