## Installation
There are two recommended ways to install WP Multisite WaaS:
### Method 1: Using the pre-packaged release (Recommended)
1. Download the latest release ZIP from the [Releases page](https://github.com/superdav42/wp-multisite-waas/releases)
2. Log in to your WordPress Network Admin dashboard
3. Navigate to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
4. Choose the downloaded ZIP file and click "Install Now"
5. Network Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
6. Follow the step by step Wizard to set the plugin up
### Method 2: Using Git and Composer (For developers)
This method requires command-line access to your server and familiarity with Git and Composer.
1. Clone the repository to your plugins directory:
```
cd wp-content/plugins/
git clone https://github.com/superdav42/wp-multisite-waas.git
cd wp-multisite-waas
```
2. Install the required dependencies using Composer:
```
composer install
```
3. Network Activate the plugin in your WordPress Network Admin dashboard
4. Follow the setup wizard to complete the installation
## Common Installation Issues
**"Failed opening required [...]/vendor/autoload_packages.php"**
This error occurs when the required vendor files are missing. This typically happens when:
- You've downloaded the repository directly from GitHub without using a release package
- The composer dependencies haven't been installed
Solution: Use the pre-packaged release from the [Releases page](https://github.com/superdav42/wp-multisite-waas/releases) or run `composer install` in the plugin directory.
**"Cannot declare class ComposerAutoloaderInitWPUltimoDependencies, because the name is already in use"**
This error usually occurs when updating from an older version of WP Ultimo or when multiple versions of the plugin are installed.
Solution: Deactivate and remove any older versions of WP Ultimo or WP Multisite WaaS before activating the new version.
**"Class 'WP_Ultimo\Database\Sites\Site_Query' not found"**
This error can occur if the plugin's autoloader isn't properly loading all the necessary classes.
Solution: Use the pre-packaged release from the [Releases page](https://github.com/superdav42/wp-multisite-waas/releases) which includes all required files.
