WordPress MU

There's something odd about the database usermeta table, primary_blog, when I added blog to users without blog.

First, a user is created at sign-up without a blog(no gimmee a blog).

When I then give a user a blog, their first/only, the primary_blog usermeta still shows blog 1. Even though the blog list(wpmu-blogs.php) shows only their new blog.

I'd enter it at trac but would like to see someone else duplicate what I see.

(Version 1.2.4 btw)

I just tried the same on a new 1.2.5a install and same result.

New User(no gimmee blog on signup) gets primary_blog 1, as expected, but are stuck with it after SiteAdmin manually creates then adds them to their first blog via wpmu-blogs.php.

All I could do was edit the primary_blog meta key with phpmyadmin to set their primary_blog to their only active blog.

This must be a bug.

Just in time for the holiday season..., and just what the doctor ordered.

I don't get it? Broken link?

It seems to be an empty anchor tag now. Gee, real nice.
the link was to one of Andrew's plugins on WPMUDEV.

"Places a drop down on the profile page to allow a user to select their primary blog."

Quite the handy little gadget to have on a picnic.

Thanks, Lunabyte.

Any ideas about the code that needs a fixin' from wpmu-blogs.php?

Unfortunately, not at the moment.

On one site I had allowed a user to grab a second blog, and until then it really hadn't been a concern. So I grabbed that plugin and all was well. That being the case, I didn't dig any deeper into it at the time as I had other pressing matters to attend to.
