It’s default behaviour. they have to sign up for the network first, then be added to the subsite.
can you redirect them to another page after sign-up so they at least end up on the site they started on.
Hello
This is a VERY BIG WP Multisites issue !
Because
1 -it is not possible for ONE user to register to single blogs
2 – even with a special plugin restablishing the blog registration, a user CANNOT automatically register to SEVERAL BLOGS with the same login/mail
3 – and last but not least, none of the privacy plugins works by site ! Any user register on any blog WILL have acces to private areas defined by plugins such as member acces or absolute privacy.
In fact, this is a really important multisite weakness, sorry to tell that, because that means :
– we CANNOT offer “real” private sites to bloggers
– users must have several mail account if they want to register to several blogs !
Just imagine a farm with hundreds of blogs, and a user interested in, lets says just 15 blogs, he must have 15 mails OR beeing added manually by an admin, though WITHOUT any by site privacy possibility !!!!!!
Hopping that will be taken in consideration since this is a feature often asked by users !
Best regards
@aphrodite – so when you sign up on a blog at wordpress.com, do you use a new signup or the one you started with?
The multisite/network feature gives you your own wordpress.com. They use the same thing (more or less).
2 – even with a special plugin restablishing the blog registration, a user CANNOT automatically register to SEVERAL BLOGS with the same login/mail
Sure they can.

If the user is signed up on the network and logged in, they can add themselves to whatever blog has this in the sidebar. Problem solved.
3 – and last but not least, none of the privacy plugins works by site ! Any user register on any blog WILL have acces to private areas defined by plugins such as member acces or absolute privacy.
Because those plugins were not written with multisite in mind. these ones were:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/more-privacy-options/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/network-privacy/
Thanks for that !
unfortunatly this essential plugin is not compatible up to 3.0.1 (stops to 2.7)
And the problem is not solved !!! What is important is a “role request on THIS subsite” which can eventually be moderated.
will have a look anyway to this plugin.
Thanks 🙂
Did you try it? I have and it worked.
sometimes plugins aren’t updated but they still work just fine.
