WordPress MU

Is it possible that when a new blog is registered successfully, that the membership setting (Users must be registered and logged in to comment) could default to checked vs unchecked?

The blog owner could always change it should they desire, but the default of checked would be preferred in this case.

Yup, edit /wp-admin/upgrade-schema.php and change:

add_option('comment_registration', 0);

to:

add_option('comment_registration', 1);

Of course make a note that you edited the file for when you upgrade. :)

Hope this helps,

Thanks! that worked.

Is there a way to make it mandatory.

Also is it possible to allow Subscribers to edit thier profile.

Thanks. Now on http://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Commonly_Edited_Core_Files

Subscribers should be able to edit their own profile when they log in.

Mandatory in what way?

Thanks drmike

I've tried to accessing /wp-admin/profile.php using a Subscriber that hasn't a blog assigned to them. And get "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page."

"Mandatory in what way?"

I would like the blog owner not be able to change the membership setting.

That last bit is what we've been talking about in this thread:
