The add_action in the code you've got there only fires when a new user is created, then never again.</p> <p>The conflict may be the with the dashboard blog option in SiteAdmin--&gt;Options.</p> <p>If left blank, the Dashboard blog is blog 1. So when a user without a blog creates a new blog, WPMU looks for membership in the dashboard blog and removes the user ... or some such cycle you've experienced.</p> <p>What I think is going on is that the parameter $blog id also needs to be in the plugn code you want so the user is placed in blog 1 when a blog is created - wpmu_new_blog - (as opposed to when a user is created, as you have there).</p> <p>The code I'd use looks like this, and I've added users, then blogs to verify that it works for me still:</p> <pre><code>function ds_new_user_meta($blog_id, $user_id) { add_user_to_blog(&#39;1&#39;, $user_id, &#39;subscriber&#39;); } add_action( &#39;wpmu_new_blog&#39;, &#39;ds_new_user_meta&#39;, 10, 2 );</code></pre> <p>Users that are members of blog 1 stay in blog 1 after creating another blog.</p> <p>Oh, I don't have an install with BuddyPress. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15375#post-88169 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:36:53 +0000 circuit 88169@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>restored from backup. hooray. the original problem remains though. i've spent about three hours reading around it and i can't figure it out. could it be a buddypress conflict? </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15375#post-88155 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:45:41 +0000 circuit 88155@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>I advise everyone NOT to try the code above as i have completely screwed my roles/capabilities by doing so.. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13675#post-88150 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:06:20 +0000 circuit 88150@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>i found this thread after posting my problem; users who create a blog are removed from the main blog.</p> <p><a href="http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15375?replies=2" rel="nofollow">http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15375?replies=2</a></p> <p>i have almost exactly the same issue, but none of the above solutions work.</p> <p>thought i would create a link between the two topics in case this is useful for others in the same situation as me. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15375#post-88149 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:56:55 +0000 circuit 88149@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>i tried adding this code as a plugin in mu-plugins as suggested elsewhere, but it doesn't work.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php add_action( &#39;wpmu_new_user&#39;, &#39;ds_new_user_meta&#39;, 10, 1); function ds_new_user_meta($user_id) { add_user_to_blog(&#39;1&#39;, $user_id, &#39;contributor&#39;); } ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>now, when a user signs up AND creates a blog, the blog is not created.</p> <p>in addition, if they they create the blog again, they lose their contributor status to the main blog (exactly as they would in my original scenario). </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15375#post-88148 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:19:45 +0000 circuit 88148@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>this is a new install integrated with bbpress.</p> <p>users sign up and are given contributor status to the main blog.</p> <p>as soon as they create their own blog, they lose all access to the main blog and their role becomes "- no role for this blog -".</p> <p>can anyone suggest why their roles are being reset in this way?</p> <p>this doesn't seem to happen for the site admin. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13675#post-88042 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:39:50 +0000 agreda 88042@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Just visit /wp-admin/wpmu-blogs.php?action=editblog&amp;id=2 and look under Blog options (wp_2_options). </p> <p>Someone else might be able to confirm if this will do the trick, but I believe that is all that is needed to allow users to register for a specific blog. No plugin necessary!
