Look and see if it just says wp_capabilites for the users. it should be wp_X_capabilites, where X is the blog id.

I have done all of the SQL exports and imports based on the directions found here (<a href="http://bavatuesdays.com/importing-a-single-wp-blog-to-a-wpmu-installation/" rel="nofollow">http://bavatuesdays.com/importing-a-single-wp-blog-to-a-wpmu-installation/</a>). Everything has worked like a charm, except... while I see all the users in the wp_users table in via myphpadmin when I go to the newly imported blog they don't show up? How can I make those users active? jlappas on "How to automatically add ALL new users to main blog?" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13675#post-88344 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:17:53 +0000 jlappas 88344@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ Big help.

I realized later by "I need to allow users to register to blog = 2", jlappas actually meant, upon signup. It is my understanding that admins can use this setting to allow already registered site members to register for individual blogs. dsader on "How to automatically add ALL new users to main blog?" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13675#post-88038 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:13:21 +0000 dsader 88038@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ jlappas, yes WPMU adds users to blog 1 automagically, if there is no "dashboard blog" set in SiteAdmin->Options. If blog 2 is your "Dashboard Blog" change the setting there and no plugins are needed. Look for <pre><code>add_user_to_blog( '1', $user_id, get_site_option( 'default_user_role', 'subscriber' ) );</code></pre> in wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php remove_user_from_blog should still work in a plugin during the wpmu_new_user action perhaps at a later priority, change "10" to 99: <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_action</a> agreda's "users can register" suggestion shouldn't work as there is no blog by blog registration.php in WPMU. wp-signup.php redirects signups from the main blog only. agreda on "How to automatically add ALL new users to main blog?" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13675#post-87970 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:45:52 +0000 agreda 87970@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <blockquote>I need to allow users to register to blog = 2</blockquote> Why not just allow them to register by setting the "users can register" value to 1 for blog id 2? Just visit /wp-admin/wpmu-blogs.php?action=editblog&id=2 and look under Blog options (wp_2_options). 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!

When they log in, they can look at their profile, but if they go to Dashboard, they can see how many comments, wordpress news and other stuff not related to the website, or stuff I don't want them to see. Is there any way to hide the Dashboard from the users?

I am new to WPMU and have a questions about how to make sure all the register users of the blogs get imported into WPMU. Note: This is really only an issue with two existing blogs (others are low volume sites). Going through the XML export of one of the blogs, I can not see how register users are "imported" into the db. Is there some way to import the registered users? I don't want to ask several hundred users to "re-register". Could this be done with multiple DBs or is there an "advanced" import function I am just not finding?

Maybe I missed something With Users, how does this work..? If admin owns the main blog and four sub blogs. Users can sign up and are set to author in the hope they will contribute content to these sub blogs. How do they sign up? The sign up link seems to suggest that the signup process is site wide from the main blog? Is each user automatically allowed to post to all the blogs? I would like each user that signs up to have permission to post on all blogs, how do i do that? outolumo on "Adding only registered users to blogs" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14862#post-85592 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:24:56 +0000 outolumo 85592@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ I want my blog owners be able to add new users to their blogs, but only if those users are already registered.

Everything was working very well. Today I cannot. I have checked the LDAP connection and the 'test' shows a confirmation that its working. If I proceed to 'Site Admin/Add Users' and fill in the username of someone I have confirmed is in the LDAP Active Directory and click 'add user' I get the following displayed: User kbond added! However, I then click on Site Admin/Users to see if they are indeed the user is listed and the user is not.

The closest I've come is the <a href="http://wpmudev.org/project/wpmu-blog-registrations">WPMU Blog Registrations plugin</a>, but that only allows unregistered users to create new accounts. Any hacking advice? Should I copy wp-register.php and make a new Second, like many WPMU users, I need all users subscribed to blog 1 for certain plugins. I found <a href="http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13675">this solution</a> (thanks dsader!) for when users sign up themselves, but nothing that works when a sub-blog admin adds new users. So, even with dsader's fix, if the admin of blog7.example.com adds "newuser" in the back end, "newuser" is only subscribed to blog7 and not the main blog. Is there an action hook for admins manually adding users in wpmu? FYI, here's the code i'm running (in /mu-plugins/), based on the thread I linked above: <pre><code>add_action( 'wpmu_new_user', 'ds_new_user_meta', 10, 2); add_action( 'user_register', 'ds_new_user_meta', 10, 2); // I added this to work with WPMU Blog Registrations plugin function ds_new_user_meta($user_id) { add_user_to_blog('1', $user_id, 'subscriber'); }</code></pre> Thanks in advance for your help!

The "subscriber" may not be so critical, but we will have about 200 moderators, editors etc. And it's preferred that they have the main blog in their bloglist. I didn’t know that they could comment anyway though, so that was very useful information :) Rage00001 on "Prevent members getting deleted on main blog when they create blogs?" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14276#post-83920 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 18:42:22 +0000 Rage00001 83920@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ Thank you both for your reply... The solution which dsader is proposing may be the fix i would use if there is no other alternative what so ever. The problem with this method is that these users may not be subscribers on the main blog in the first place. So it would be far from a perfect solution because i then would have to manually give them their privileges back. tdjcbe, we are using 2.8.4a and the ticket you referred to is in place. I did try to put in blog id 1 in the admin page, but it disappeared after saving.. And it does say that it should be blank for the main site. andrea_r on "Prevent members getting deleted on main blog when they create blogs?" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14276#post-83919 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 18:41:20 +0000 andrea_r 83919@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ "I want to keep him as a Subscriber (or whatever) on the main blog." For what reasons? Just asking, because depending on why you need them as subscriber on the main blog, it may be overkill. Must be logged in to comment, for example, works for logged in users even if they are not subscribers to that blog. Needing to email everyone is also handled differently. tdjcbe on "Prevent members getting deleted on main blog when they create blogs?" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/14276#post-83910 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:24:05 +0000 tdjcbe 83910@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ Actually I remember a trac ticket on this previously but all I can find is this right off: <a href="http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/changeset/1927" rel="nofollow">http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/changeset/1927</a> which is not it.
