up: any idea how to enable registration to network (child) blogs?
Hi
Did you get any solution to this? I was looking for the same thing.
The scenario as I see it is this:
WP3 installed at http://example.com and this is where super admin creates and admins the sub-sites of:
http://site1.example.com
http://site2.example.com
http://site2.example.com
etc
I have no plans for users to be able to create their own blogs, just to have a network of independent blogs controlled by super admin at http://example.com
A user visits and wants to join or comment on http://site1.example.com and has no knowledge of, or care for, the main site http://example.com or any of the other sites http://site2.example.com or http://site3.example.com
However, as it currently works, the user is signed up to http://example.com and redirected to http://example.com from the sign-up and login process/emails and doesn’t have any logical way to http://site1.example.com where they came from.
Ideally when they sign up to http://site1.example.com to add a comment or generally participate as a user, they are added as a subscriber to http://site1.example.com and redirected there after sign-up.
I guess it wouldn’t be a great problem if they were signed up generally to http://example.com as a subscriber as long as I could automatically redirect them to http://site1.example.com and have this site recorded in their signup and welcome emails and they were redirected to http://site1.example.com after logging in.
That would also mean I could contact all users on the http://example.com network in case there was another site within the network they were interested in.
Anyone any ideas?
Hi, I have the same problem. Creating a testuser and trying to register him on http://www.example.com/site1, I fall back to registration site http://www.example.com, so he can only be registered here. The subscriber is never re-directed to the page he came from.
Now, this does not make sense for a multisite system?
Checking on this testuser in my admin-dashboard I found out that he has never been given a role in this child blog “No role for this site”. As soon as I define a role, e.g. subscriber, the testuser can see the child blog in his dashboard, and is also redirected to it when signing in.
So this is what I actually want, but automatically and not through admin as I cannot sit in front of my computer 24hrs a day defining rights.
On top of that as an admin I do not see where the newly registered user has originally come from.
I cannot believe that this is how it works with such an elaborated software, so there must be a trick. Any ideas?

Yeah, this is the default behaviour. If one of the blog admins adds a user from *their* backend, they will get added to the network and also added to the blog itself.
Works just like it does at wordpress.com.
Plugins that may help:

I tried your second recommended link multisite-user-management. It works!
Thanks a lot! You saved me time and energy.
