   Hi All,

   On my installation of wpmu, when a user clicks Subscribe on the Subscriptions page under User (users.php?page=subscribe2/subscribe2.php), it simply redirects them to their main wp-admin page and does not subscribe them to the blog. It does however work if the user is registered for that particular blog already, but it does not work if the user isn't associated with that blog

   Any ideas why this would happen?

   Thanks,
   Collin

   I think the problem happens because the subscribe link goes to the other blog's admin page, which of course this user can not access.

   Does anyone else see this behavior?

   Ask the user to log out before he/she subscribes to any blog within the install. In one of my WPMU installs, I've automatically added all WPMU users as subscribers in the subscribe2 admin page. They can always choose to opt out (they must be log out first).

   I would like them to be able to use the subscribe page so they can quickly and easily subscribe to a bunch of blogs.

   @collinmanderson,

   I am looking into the WPMU code but I don't use WPMU myself so rely heavily on testers to try out the code. This 'bug' has been in the code for some 2 months and only now is it becoming apparent :-)

   I'll work on a fix for the next version (4.19)

   @collinmanderson,

   Thank you for posting this. I'm having the same problem, and I figured out that users must already be subscribed to the blog in order to use the S2 widget. Otherwise, they're directed to their admin page as you mentioned.

   My problem is that I work for a school that uses a network of blogs that are all password protected. I have 130 blogs and 500 users, and in order for them to be able to use the S2 widget, I need to manually subscribe everyone to every blog (impossible!). S2 works perfectly on the school's main blog, however. I understand that you can't address everyone's needs since this is a free service (that you should be charging a bundle for! :)), but I wonder if you think this might be fixed in the next version and if so, when that version might be released. If not, I'll just disable it on all but the main blog.

   Thank you for the wonderful support,
   Jenny
