 * Hi Ipstenu,
 * I need to know how to change the default settings of this plugin without admins
   manually doing it from the wordpress dashboard. Specifically, I need the membership
   type to be manual: Allow signed in users to join via a widget or the shortcode
   and the default role, in my case, to be student.
 * I need to keep admins out of the wordpress backend for UI reasons. Any help with
   code to change the default settings would be much appreciated.

 * So … this wasn’t made for that. Sorry. It was specifically made for the need 
   of letting _each_ site make their own choices. I’ve no interest in making it 
   a sitewide setup.
 * You would probably want to to look into a plugin that lets you set the default
   settings for ALL plugins on the network like [http://wordpress.org/plugins/yd-wpmu-sitewide-options/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/yd-wpmu-sitewide-options/)
 * Alternately, you’re welcome to fork the plugin and make it suit your needs.

 * The YD WPMU Sitewide Options plugin did exactly what I wanted. Thank you
