Under WP Admin -> Network -> Network Settings, you can kinda customize the email. I think if you changed BLOG_URL to SITE_URL that may work. So that’ll fix the email.
Editing the form to allow for different roles would require a plugin. User Roles are per site, mind, so adding special ones will be tricky. Are you thinking just that you want some people to register as editors/contributors? Isn’t that better done by the site admin after they register, to make sure the wrong people aren’t giving themsleves more access than they need?
Thanks for you help Mika. Good news about fixing the email.
I would plan to have 3 different roles:
1. basic subscriber – can’t do much but edit their profile & checkout at subsite woocommerce pages.
2. *author: can edit and create their own posts on a blog page I would create for them.
3. admin: an admin for a subsite (choose from some preset themes, change header image etc etc)
* What I can’t get my head around is how to convert or upgrade an existing subscriber to create their own blog if I don’t have a record of their email details etc. they used when they signed-up…
Maybe there’s a way to get a record of the info but I don’t know how.
Basic subscriber would be the default subscriber role, built into WP.
Same with author, and in the case of an author and an admin, you just go to the site they should author/admin and add them as that role. WP will store all their pertinent info, and you just upgrade that, becuase it’s all store in the same DB 🙂
Thanks yet again Mika. I’ve got so many questions about all this, and you’re the only one who seems willing to help.
Don’t want to wear out my welcome here – so thanks 🙂
