With the risk of sounding like a complete noob...

Can someone help me determine the proper folder structure for downloading the master branch code in order to make it ready to be installed via the standard install plugin in wp-admin?

As everyone else has stated the many depreciated warnings for PHP 8+ (and I see pull requests for these started but not yet complete) it would help tramendously because when I try to install the current version of this plugin in this repo (as is),

• it continues to install fine, but fail silently, ie. no server PHP errors or even debug log errors or display errors AT ALL (even with all 4 debug options on in wp-config (!!) such as:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true ); @ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 ); )

• AND it always reverts to multi-site (showing all my sites across all networks) with Folder Structure A Below, and showing only my primary networks current sites (loosing access or visibility of all the rest that belong to other networks) while also yet still reverting to multi-site...with Folder Structure B below.

so I am not sure what I am doing wrong...or which folder structure I should be using.

Also, it may be important to note that I currently have the official WP repo version working fine, with an updated sunrise.php file that was created with the help of google's Gemini AI...and the hope here is to also utilize gemini to help me quickly patch and update this plugin to work with current WP 6.8.1 and PHP 8.2.20 - even if that means doing it in my own repo first and then sharing the update once I have it fully updated and working...

Thanks to anyone who reads this and decides to help!!

----PS - Folder structures I have tried so far----

Folder Structure A: Left the orifinal plugin's 2nd wp-multi-network subfolder in tact and moved the wpmn-loader.php to the top level folder...

wp-multi-network/
├── wpmn-loader.php   <-- Main plugin file
├── readme.txt
├── license.txt        
└── wp-multi-network/  <-- This subfolder is PART OF THE PLUGIN'S STRUCTURE
    ├── assets/
    └── includes/

Folder Structure B: Removed the 2nd wp-multi-network subfolder shown above and put everything in one top level folder...such as...

wp-multi-network/
├── wpmn-loader.php   <-- Main plugin file
├── readme.txt
├── license.txt
├── assets/           
└── includes/  

Also, one other quick question, can this plugin be placed in mu-plugins folder? As this also fails silently with both versions (the older official WP repo version and this slightly updated GitHub master branch version)

Thank you so much to anyone who replies!!!!! I can't thank you enough!!

I believe that a new version of this plugin would be build using this file: https://github.com/stuttter/wp-multi-network/blob/master/deploy.sh

BTW I have the plugin with the folder structure A running.

Thank you for this. PS - Do you have this working in the mu-plugins directory or have you tried to put it in mu-plugins? Or do you just have it currently working as an installed standard WP plugin...? It would be nice to get this to work from mu-plugins, not sure why I am unable to get this to work from there!! Thanks so much for replying!!

I have it running as a normal plugin. I guess for the mu-plugins, there might some additional work necessary:
