Thread: User Registration on Multisite installation with the Multisite User Management plugin

User Registration on Multisite installation with the Multisite User Management plugin

I'm currently testing a multiuser installation with a directories structure for AppThemes templates. I'm not sure the best way to handle new user registration. I am using the Multisite User Management (MUM) plugin, which works great when users register from the main site, but only imcompletely when users register through one of AppTheme directory sites.

The difference, I think, is the user registration form. If a user registers through the main site, they are directed to the following:

http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-signup.php

When a user signs up through this "wp-signup" page, they are automatically added to the other sites, thanks to the MUM plugin.

If, however, a user tries to register through one of the directory sites--AND that site is using an AppTheme template---they are taken to a custom user registration form:

http://www.mywebsite.com/coupons/wp-...ction=register

When a user signs up through the "coupons/wp-login" page, their account is created, but not automatically added to any of the other sites. If I want to add them to the other sites I have to manually add them to the other sites by re-running the MUM plugin action (change roles, SAVE, change role back, SAVE). Obviously, I'd rather NOT have to do that. (ASIDE: I've noticed that if I'm using a more basic theme on a subdirectory site, the user is taken to the main "wp-signup" page.)

My question is, what is the best way to resolve this problem?

(1) Find a way to redirect the users to the "wp-signup" page, no matter what site they're are starting their registration?

or

(2) Find a way to programmatically utilize the MUM plugin when registering through a local "wp-login" page?

Does anyone have any advice on this one?

Thanks!

UPDATE:
This does not appear to be a problem after all. Here's what I originally thought was a problem: When a visitor registers through one of my subdirectory sites (rather than through the main site), say my "clipper" site for example, their user account is assigned to the clipper site only. But that's from the perspective of the SuperAdmin who looks at all the users and sees "user1" assigned to only one of the subsites--the one on which they first registered. I assumed--for shame!--that if the user then tried to login through on of the other subdirectory sites, they would not be allowed entry.

That, FORTUNATELY, is not the case. They CAN actually log in to any of the sites I've assigned through the plugin. After they do so, the plugin (here I go assuming again) assigns them a default role for that site based on what was entered in Multisite User Management plugin settings.

So in short, though it may appear, from the SuperAdmin dashboard point of view, that a user does not have access to all the sites, they, in fact, WILL be able to log into any of the sites assigned through the plugin.

I just began venturing with the Multisite discovery and installed it on a test server which will be hosting all AppThemes based themes, glad you're going with the directory installation instead of sub-domains, as I am too.
Let's see how solid the Multisite business is, I'll definately be following this thread and contributing my discoveries as well.

My first concern is the Permalink structure, I noticed that it was set to the following structure by default: /blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
Clearly this is not a pretty link, I wonder if you changed it from your end or opted to shrink it down to : /blog/%postname%/ or even reverted back to %postname%

In the words of Spartacus: Much "grattitude" to your contribution Mr. RmBraaten

I am in the process of setting up a multisite network with apptheme sites as child sites and main site is a local news and information site. I'm interested to know if anyone has done this successfully using appthemes such as classipress and vantage.

thanks for any info or posting of working sites.

You want to try this plugin.

This works absolutely fine for me.

It is dated but works fine for wp3.5.1 and the appthemes themes

I have tried to install multisite on my site using vantage themes. After the MU plugin was installed, user can register and create a new cites with a subdomain of my site, but the link through which they signup doesn't work with the vantage theme. I mean the whole page of www.inphnompenh.mobi/wp-signup.php doesn't work the vantage them like other pages, such as home page or categories. But when I use other themes, the page works with those themes, so I am wondering why vantage theme can't work as other themes in this case. Please advice me as to how to fix it.
