Plugin management for WordPress Multisite that supports the native plugins page and the WPMU DEV Pro Sites plugin! Used on thousands of multisite installs across the web. 
Previously known as WPMU Plugin Manager, it uses a backend options page to adjust plugin permissions for all the sites in your network.
<ul>
<li>Select what plugins sites have access to</li>
<li>Choose plugins to Auto-Activate for all new blogs</li>
<li>Mass activate/deactivate a plugin on all sites in your network (Very Handy!)</li>
<li>Assign special plugin access permissions for specific sites in your network</li>
<li>And as Super Admin, you can override all these to activate specific plugins on the sites you choose!</li>
<li>Removes the plugin meta row links (Version, Author, Plugin) and any update messages for blog admins</li>
</ul>
Also, if you use the excellent <a href="https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/pro-sites/" rel="nofollow ugc">Pro Sites plugin from WPMU DEV</a> you will be able to charge for access to certain plugins!

Multisite Plugin Manager

I haven't had any issues with the functionality of the plugin, but the interface for granting plugin access to individual sites really needs improvement. Right now it's shoved under the "Settings" tab when editing an individual site, but when a site has a lot of options, this can make the page HUGE. The list of plugins should really be in its own "Plugins" tab, much like "Themes".

Plugin works well but interface needs improvement

This plugin helped me a lot when I had to reactivate one plugin on over 100 sites because accidentally I have activated it for the whole Network previously.

Good job!
Air.

Nice help for multisite

The essential plugin for every multisite install! Manage plugin access permissions across your entire multisite network.

In WordPress Multisite, new sites get a boring default template, without any custom settings or starter content.
This plugin allows you to select a specific blog on your network, a “master” one, that will be cloned every time a new blog is created.
In this way, new blogs will contain all posts, uploads, theme settings and plugin options from the master blog.
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<ol>
<li>It uses MySQL <code>INSERT INTO ... SELECT</code> to copy every table from the “master” blog into the new one. This is fast!</li>
<li>Then it does a search and replace on the new blog’s tables, to replace the old URL with the new one. 
This is done in a way that respects serialized arrays, so your plugin’s settings will be preserved. 
(We used a heavily trimmed down version of Interconnect/IT’s <a href="https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB" rel="nofollow ugc">Search and Replace</a> tool for that, so go thank them for this!)</li>
<li>It proceeds to copy all files from the <code>wp-content/uploads</code> dir of your master blog into the new one’s, so that all assets will work as expected.</li>
<li>Finally it does some house clean-up, updating the new blog’s title, admin email, and user roles as needed.</li>
</ol>
Go check the screenshots, it’s really simple and does what it says. 
Give it a try!

Multisite Cloner

I was looking for this for ages! Thanks for creating this awesome plugin, exactly what I need for my current projects!

Keep up the great work!

Awesome!

This plugin has never let me down and I've used it on scores of multi-sites.   I know (at the time of writing this review) it has not been updated in a while, but it's still brilliant.  The developer has said he will update when required, so don't be put off by the last update date.  Plus he responds to support questions.  What more can you ask for.

Thank you @manuelrazzari

I Love This Plugin

When creating a new blog on WordPress Multisite, copies all the posts, settings and files, from a selected blog into the new one.
