WordPress does not allow multiple sites on same subdomain at different paths, this plugin does not attempt to allow that. However you can use as many subdomains as you like as well as different domains without issue.
If you need to modify theme settings, you must enable it on the 'master' site and modify there, once done, you can apply the same theme with same settings to any other site.
You cannot have the same theme applied with DIFFERENT settings to different sites. This may apply to some child themes using the same db entries too.
Not recommended to be used with wordpress multisite network install.
