    I know this might be an interesting request and fall outside the scope of the plugin, but we love using your plugin.

    We are running multiple subdomains. Each subdomain has its own connections directory. Is it possible for subdomains to access a central database, so we only have to maintain 1 connections db?

    I understand that Connections doesn’t create a database, but creates multiple tables in the main WordPress database. So I don’t even know if it’s possible, but figured I would ask the question.

    @ Jason

    I believe Connections already supports such a usage scenario.

    Since you have a multisite installation… if you add define('CN_MULTISITE_ENABLED', FALSE); to the wp-config.php file it will force Connections to run in “single site mode”.

    You would activate Connections on your primary site and you entries here. One each subsite where you want to use Connections you would activate Connections and the dabased of the primary site will be used.

    Hope this helps, let me know.
