# Multisite registration problem

 * It appears that self-registered users are not getting wp_capabilities or primary_blog
   set in wp_usermeta on multisite installations.
 * Because I have all users registered through the same primary blog, I should be
   seeing:
 * wp_capabilities a:1:{s:10:”subscriber”;s:1:”1″;}
    primary_blog 1
 * in wp_usermeta for that user. And they’re not. When I log in I don’t see new 
   users at all, on any blog, until I set the above meta keys/values for those users.
   They can log in but I have to manually set the blog they’re a member of.
 * Perhaps that’s the way WP intended it by default, though that doesn’t make sense
   to me. Either way, is there something I can change/hack to automatically assign
   all new registrants to the desired primary blog?
 * Thanks.
 * Other multisite setups will likely allow users to register on other blogs, so
   you’d need to make allowances for those meta keys to be in the form wp_#_capabilities
   where # is the blog id, and the primary_blog meta key to be set to the corresponding
   blog id.
 * I originally thought the problem might be associated with the user-spam-remover
   plugin and I posted about it here:
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-user-spam-remover-whitelisted-accounts-cant-log-in?replies=2#post-2070063](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-user-spam-remover-whitelisted-accounts-cant-log-in?replies=2#post-2070063)
   but I tested with the plugin turned off and the problem still occurs.

 * did you find anything out on this. I am having the same issue. The user is not
   being added to the site, even though I see them as a user.

 * Nope, not a single reply but yours.
 * I currently only have one multisite installation and it doesn’t get a lot of 
   valid registrations, so I’m able to deal with it for now. I haven’t re-tested
   since my original post 2 months ago, so one of the recent updates *might* have
   addressed the problem. I’ll have to revisit it in a couple days….
