Subscriber means you have a subscriber or higher role on the site you are trying to view.
Yes, I know. But this is not related to my question.
But this is not related to my question.
Of course it is. Are you a subscriber (or admin) on the site where you are redirected to the login screen?
I’m both an admin and super-admin. After all, I did have permission to change the settings, so I thought this would be assumed …
Ken,
I believe the only permissions you need in order to change the settings for the plugin would be Super Admin privileges. You could still be a subscriber on the individual site.
You’re not using domain mapping on the network are you?
I added myself as an admin for that particular site while trying to make it work and it still did not.
Yes, I am using domain mapping and it seems to revert to the main domain.
What version do you have?
Running: WordPress 3.3.1; Network Privacy 0.1.2
With domain mapping, depending on your domain mapping settings, you may be asked to login twice (I know I have to even when trying to login to the admin area of my mapped domains). Because the cookie is set for your mapped domain first, then a different cookie has to be set for your root domain (the one where the admin area is).
I’ve logged in repeatedly (two or three or four times) and each time it takes me to the dashboard, not the site, where I click to go to the site and I’m back where I started.
I’m having this same problem. I too have domain mapping enabled. I am currently running WordPress 3.5.
I tried both the “Network Privacy” (version 0.1.4) plugin and the “More Privacy Options” (version 3.2.1.5) plugin. I have had a similar experience with both of those so the problem that Ken and I are both having is related to the way both of these plugins have to ‘do their thing’.
Ken, have you (or anyone else) found a way around this issue? … thanks.
Found a work-around on my own. I just installed “WP-Members” and after doing a little tweaking it works as advertised.
I only wanted it to work on one of my sites so I installed it in the Network Admin area but did NOT enable it there. Instead I navigated to the plugins area of one of the blogs on my Multi-installation version of WordPress and enable it that way.
Got any questions about my solution just respond here. Hope to help others as well.
In the Domain Mapping settings, do you have the “Redirect administration pages to site’s original domain (remote login disabled if this redirect is disabled)” setting checked? I’ve been using Network Privacy with Domain Mapping for quite a while, and it’s been working fine (I just have to login once to the front-end and once to the back-end, since they’re on different domains & can’t easily share a cookie), but I haven’t really tested it with different settings in the Domain Mapping plugin.
