Are you 100% sure that item #3 happens STILL with “Don’t allow new users to add themselves this site, add them manually” checked on the mother site? Because at that point, JMM should no longer be running.
If you’re saying it used to happen, well… to put it mildly, ain’t my problem. You were adding users to a site, so both JMM and BuddyPress were doing what they’re supposed to do.
If you’d like to test, turn the plugin (JMM) off entirely and see if it still happens, because this may be 100% BuddyPress and the privacy plugin, at which point you’re on your own.
Longer code explanation follows:
The code to add a user is found in the function join_site() which is called in the following places:
1) The widget. If you don’t have the widget, it’s not called.
2) The shortcode. If it’s not on the page, it’s not called.
3) Init if and only if you have selected ‘Auto add.’
Now it’s possible that you might somehow have the widget active on a site without the rest running, and I’m going to go back and make sure you can’t do that if the ‘none’ option is checked, but that wouldn’t be a ‘bug’ so much as users doing silly things.
You’re not doing that are you?
I want to prevent this in a similar way you prevent users being added to the mother site with your plugin.
That’s actually the opposite of what the plugin does. It defaults to NOT add you, and you are allowing people to be added. So it sounds like something else is triggering the action. Except … not my action, since you just said with the plugin configured properly, no one gets added to the main site.
Edit to add:
Yes, BuddyPress activated on the main site, registered users of the main site will have a BuddyPress profile created automatically.
That sounds like everything was actually doing exactly what it’s supposed to. So the question now is does it STILL happen, with JMM set up right.
If not, then my work here is done.
