great plugin, but give fatal error in network mode

By artman0 (aarty20) on January 8, 2025

Well, plugin actually work on multisite frontend, but whether you go to wp-admin/network/plugins.php or wp-admin/network/update-core.php - it gives you fatal error.
So, until this plugin is activated I cant add/remove/update any of sites plugins.
