Multisite Support
Run GetWebP across a WordPress Multisite network — activation, per-site settings, license keys, and WP-CLI.
Multisite Support
GetWebP is compatible with WordPress Multisite. The plugin operates on a per-site basis: each site in the network manages its own conversion settings, batch queue, and license key independently.

Activation#
Per-site activation (recommended)
Activate the plugin from each site's admin panel individually:
- Log in to the site's WordPress admin.
- Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
- Click Activate next to GetWebP.
Network activation
A Super Admin can network-activate the plugin to make it available across all sites at once:
- Log in as a Network Super Admin.
- Go to Network Admin → Plugins.
- Find GetWebP and click Network Activate.
With network activation, each site still manages its own settings and must activate its own license key separately.
Per-Site Settings#
All GetWebP settings are stored per site. Each site has its own:
- Compression preset and delivery mode
- Background queue and batch conversion state
- License key and quota counter
Converting images on one site does not affect other sites on the network.
License Keys on Multisite#
Each site requires its own license key:
- Go to GetWebP → Settings → License within the site's admin panel.
- Paste the license key and click Activate.
- Quota and plan details appear immediately.
If you have multiple sites, use a plan that covers the number of domains you need. You can manage your keys and view per-site quota at getwebp.com/dashboard/licenses.
WP-CLI with Multisite#
Use the standard WP-CLI --url flag to target a specific sub-site:
# Convert images for a specific sub-site
wp getwebp convert --url=https://subsite.example.com
# Check status for a specific sub-site
wp getwebp status --url=https://subsite.example.com
# Loop over all sites in the network
wp site list --field=url | xargs -I{} wp getwebp status --url={}For subdirectory networks, use the full URL including the subdirectory path (e.g. https://example.com/subsite).
