 * Good: Install and activate plugin
    Good: Configure plugin exactly as you have
   it on the Plugin Screenshots Good: New user registers and receives activation
   email. Good: User record is created in Network and SubSite with proper role. 
   Good: Network site allows users to register. Good: Page “Registration created
   and contains Shortcode” also same page is selected in the plugin settings.
 * Bad: New user logs in using URL contained in “user created” email /wp-login.php
   but receives this error after attempt to login:
 * >  Page displayed: /wp-admin/ Error: <i>You do not have sufficient permissions
   > to access this page.</i>
 * Good: If instead I go to the SubSite home page and login there using the widget,
   the login is successful.
 * Bad: If I click on EditMyProfile the same error message appears.
 * >  Page displayed: /wp-admin/profile.php Error: <i>You do not have sufficient
   > permissions to access this page.</i>
 * I’m so close to loving this plugin. Please help me. And thanks in advance for
   this plugin.

 * What OTHER plugins are you using?
 * This doesn’t occur on a vanilla Multisite from what I can see.

 * Ipstenu – guess what? My bad. You are correct in that another plugin, “Role Capabilities”
   needed the generic “read” checked not only for that specific role, but for basically
   the site. Duh. So no more error messages.
 * I am noticing though, that when the visitor clicks on the email’s LOGIN link,
   it displays a backend login “WordPress ugly” page, rather than a themed page.
   Thoughts?
 * Otherwise, I’m loving your plugin. I tried so many others and they were quite
   disappointing. JoinMyMultisite plugin rocks!

 * That’s as expected, since the login page, even on a Multisite, is wp-login.php
   and that looks like it looks.
 * Two options.
 * 1) Redirect wp-login to a front-end page via .htaccess (that may be problematic
   given how login works)
 * 2) Theme the login page?

 * Thanks for the suggestions. Since it is a shared login page, I think I’ll pass
   and be grateful that it all work 😉
