<h3>Advanced – Multisite</h3>
WP Weixin supports multisite installs of WordPress, wether using domain/subdomains or subdirectories. It can even support multiple Official Accounts, provided the proper filters are implemented. For more information, see <a href="https://github.com/froger-me/wp-weixin/blob/master/README.md#user-content-multisite-settings" rel="nofollow ugc">a more extensive description of the multisite settings</a>, and the <a href="https://github.com/froger-me/wp-weixin/blob/master/README.md#user-content-multisite" rel="nofollow ugc">Multisite section of the documentation</a>.
Unlike some plugins (commercial, obfuscated, and with dubious security standards), WP Weixin does not and will not rely on a crossdomain script dumped at the root of WordPress, but prefers to leverage the standard WordPress functions, actions and filters.
<h3>Troubleshoot, feature requests and 3rd party integration</h3>
Unlike most WeChat integration plugins, WP Weixin and its companion plugins published by the same author are provided for free.
WP Weixin is regularly updated, and bug reports are welcome, preferably on <a href="https://github.com/froger-me/wp-weixin/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>. Each bug report will be addressed in a timely manner, but issues reported on WordPress may take significantly longer to receive a response.
WP Weixin and all the companion plugins have been tested with the latest version of WordPress – in case of issue, please ensure you are able to reproduce it with a default installation of WordPress, Storefront theme if WooCommerce is active, and any of the aforementioned supported plugins if used before reporting a bug.
Feature requests (such as “it would be nice to have XYZ”) or 3rd party integration requests (such as “it is not working with XYZ plugin” or “it is not working with my theme”) for WP Weixin and all its companion plugins will be considered only after receiving a red envelope (红包) of a minimum RMB 500 on WeChat (guarantee of best effort, no guarantee of result).
