When running WordPress MultiSite, you have a very handy feature called network activation. It allows you to activate a plugin for the entire network of sites. The trouble is that it only does half the job.
Some plugins have an install procedure that is meant to be run only on activation. However, when you do a network activation, that install procedure is only run for the current site. So, you end up with plugins not working properly on all the other sites.
What this plugin does:
<ul>
<li>when doing a network de/activation, it triggers the de/activation hook on all sites in the network</li>
<li>when creating a new site, it triggers the activation hook for all active network plugins on that site</li>
</ul>

Proper Network Activation

Avoid errors when using WordPress MultiSite network activation

If you run a WordPress or BuddyPress installation, you probably know that some of the biggest administrative headaches come from the activation process. Activation emails may be caught by spam filters, deleted unwillingly, or simply not understood. Yet WordPress itself has no UI for viewing and managing unactivated members.
Unconfirmed creates a Dashboard panel under the Users menu (Network Admin > Users on Multisite) that shows a list of unactivated user registrations. For each registration, you have the option of resending the original activation email, or manually activating the user.
Note that the plugin works for the following configurations: 
1. Multisite, with or without BuddyPress 
2. Single site, with BuddyPress used for user registration
There is currently no support for single-site WP registration without BuddyPress.

Unconfirmed

Googled for "wordpress cancel pending users", this plugin can up as one of the top results, so installed, activated, and achieved exactly what I needed, inside of about 30 seconds. Literally perfect.

Did exactly what I needed

Nice, simple little plugin that makes it easy to get a user up and running when you have, for example, email deliverability issues.

Works as advertised

Thank you for this plugin. Not sure why such a feature isn't already part of Core, as it's very useful when managing a multisite!

This should be part of WP Core!
