Make sure you search with the asterisk.

Thank Dog for these forums, otherwise many of us would just keep grumbling to ourselves about how certain things don’t work like they used to! 🙂

The examples in those threads may need some tweaks, but most likely will work straight away.

Hi Andrea. You’ve mentioned before that all new registered users under WP 3.1 are automatically assigned Subscriber status to blog ID 1, but this clearly does not seem to be the case (at least at tripawds.com) as they are not listed under Site Admin as a user of the main site. The exception, however, is that new users who also create a blog/site are being assigned subscriber status to blog id 1. Those who create no site, are not.

Now, we have been using the following in mu-plugins to automatically assign all new users main blog Subscriber status:

function ds_new_user_meta($blog_id, $user_id) {
add_user_to_blog('1', $user_id, 'subscriber' );
}
add_action( 'wpmu_new_blog', 'ds_new_user_meta', 10, 2 );

It’s been working like a charm, until our 3.1 upgrade. Since then, only users who create a site are being added to the main site.

So… My questions include:

• Should all new users (with or without a bblog) appear as subscribers under the primary site admin / users?
• Could this “new-user” plugin be keeping WP from doing its job?
• Any suggested “tweaks” for getting this plugin working “straight away” under WP 3.1?

Many thanks to all for any input.

PS: Thanks for the multisite user management plugin lead, however, it appears to assign users to all sites, and we only want to add new users to site id 1.

EDIT: I just now noticed how old this topic is. :-/ But it seemed the most relevant after searching these forums.

Perhaps the issue is unrelated to the hack. After upgrading our multisite install to 3.1, we too lost Stats functionality.

Too clarify, on sites where WP.com Stats had already been activated, the stats do display, and the new Shortlink menu works in the Admin Bar. The Stats configuration panel, however, is inaccessible. Clicking the WordPress.com Stats configuration link in the dashboard redirects to mainsite.com/wp-admin/?c=1 — regardless of which site is being administered.

An attempt to activate Stats on another member site results in the same redirection for the configuration link. That site’s dashboard shows the message “WordPress.com Stats needs attention: please enter an API key or disable the plugin.” with the same bad link.

So, now we have sub-site bloggers unable to activate Stats, and asking why they don’t have the new Shortlink menu. I figured it was just because the needed to activate stats. <sigh>

We have Akismet network activated with a hardoded API, and it is functioning but also has a configuration link that now redirects to the main dashboard.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

users sign up to the main site. they are pseudo-subscribers by default

Hi Andrea, mind explaining “pseudo” subscribers? It’s been a while, and I don’t expect you to remember, but you helped me a couple times during our original WPMU migration.

At that time we used a custom dsader “New User” plugin, which automatically added all new registered users as subscribers to the main blog/site. I’m wondering if this is no longer needed in mu-plugins. (We’re now running WP 3.0.4.)

With nearly 2000 users now, and more joining every day I fear the main site may be getting bloated with users affecting performance (if that’s even possible) but we do need them to be users of the main site so they automatically become members of the SimplePress forums running there.

Thanks again for your time!
