Description
This plugin ONLY works with WordPress Multisite, will NOT work in single site mode, and MUST be Network Activated. You will find it’s menu in your network administration dashboard (wp-content/network)
By activating and configuring this plugin and adding the shortcode [lh_signup_form] to a page on the front end of your primary site it allows selected user roles to sign up for a new site within your multisite network in a simple and visually appealing way. This is perfect for creating a white labelled site for new sign ups.

FAQ
-
Why can’t I select the main site as a template?
-
Because that would be a very bad idea for performance and security purposes.
-
Will this look good with my theme?
-
The plugin does not contain any inherent styling. This is a deliberate decision so that it should look okay in most themes. If there is somthing that does not look right it is trivial to style the form as you want it by using a child theme.
-
How can I customise the words and labels of signup form?
-
The shortcode that creates the signup form has the following attributes
site_slug_label – the label of the slug input
site_slug_placeholder – the placeholder attribute of the slug input
site_slug_title – the title attribute of the slug input
site_title_label – the label of title input
site_title_placeholder – the placeholder attribute of the title input
site_template_label – the label of the template input
form_submit_button_value – the text value of the form submit buttonAll these have logical defaults adding these attributes is optional
-
What is something does not work?
-
LH Signup, and all https://lhero.org plugins are made to WordPress standards. Therefore they should work with all well coded plugins and themes. However not all plugins and themes are well coded (and this includes many popular ones).
If something does not work properly, firstly deactivate ALL other plugins and switch to one of the themes that come with core, e.g. twentyfifteen, twentysixteen etc.
If the problem persists please leave a post in the support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/h-signup/. I look there regularly and resolve most queries.
