The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

"You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page." for new users? (15 posts)

    Hey all, my WPMU install went great and everything is working well, although if a new user signs up and doesn't select to have a blog created, when they go to login they receive:

    "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page."

    If the new user selects to have a blog created, there's no problem... what gives??

    This is an ongoing topic for discussion. It appears that WPMU does not give new users a default role. Here's a hack offered by JoshEH to make new users to the main blog subscribers, but there still is no good fix for default role settings for sub-blogs within the community.

    This is a rather important problem, so if anyone has another solution, it would be much appreciated...

    You can add a plugin to alter this behaviour. Here's one I've been sketching out - what it does is explained in the comments.

    /*
    Plugin Name: ADRX No Caps User Login
    Plugin URI:
    Description: This plugin determines what happens when a user logins in at a blog for which s/he has no capabilites.
    */
    function adrx_nocaps_login() {
    global $current_site, $current_blog, $current_user, $user_ID, $wpdb;
    if (!is_blog_user() || !is_site_admin) { // no caps and not site admin
    if ($current_blog->domain==$current_site->domain) { // logged in at main site -- no caps
    // if user has blog, send user there - code copied from menu.php
    $primary_blog = $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT meta_value FROM {$wpdb->usermeta} WHERE user_id = '$user_ID' AND meta_key = 'primary_blog'" );
    if( $primary_blog ) {
    $newblog = $wpdb->get_row( "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->blogs} WHERE blog_id = '{$primary_blog}'" );
    if( $newblog != null ) {
    header( "Location: http://" . $newblog->domain . $newblog->path . "wp-admin/" );
    exit;
    }
    }
    }
    // user has no caps here
    // user either has no existing primary blog of his/her own or did not log in at main site
    // redirect to front page of the blog at which s/he logged in
    header( "Location: http://" . current_blog->domain. "/" );
    exit;
    }
    }
    add_action('admin_menu', 'adrx_nocaps_login');

    Hmm, I might be saving it wrong, but can't get it to work... this sounds like a nice fix though. Still, it would be better to avoid the problem altogether by providing all new users with default capabilities/role at signup.

    did you add <?php at the beginning, ?> at the end and put it in mu-plugins?

    Sorry, should have given more details: I'm getting a "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR on line 26", which is

    header( "Location: http://&quot; . current_blog->domain. "/" );

    I get the same error message BTW.

    Sorry. That line should read

    header( "Location: http://&quot; . $current_blog->domain. "/"

    I don't know how the '$' disappeared from in front of 'current_blog->domain'. It was in the code when I copied it into the post.

    Man was I being lazy, I didn't even look for typos. Yep it works now.

    Anyone figured out the sub-blog problem?

    hm...
    I have similar problem.
    I need this: when new user is registered, he receives the Author role is his blog, instead of the Administrator (as on a default)

    *sorry for my poor English

    Hey folks, I'm trying to consolidate this question with other similar threads at a new thread here. See if this answers the question...

    Has there been a solution to this problem? I tried to register as a user (no blog) - from the main site - and got the following error:

    You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

    What do I need to change and is there a plugin that solves this issue?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Can I assume this is no longer necessary, i.e. the code is absorbed into the latest release?

    It hasn't been an issue for me since I upgraded to WPMU version 1.23 (it may have even have been fixed earlier). I believe it is now a standard fix in the more recent versions.
