WordPress MU

resurecting lost thread,

Is this still correct to have multiple blogs with one email address?

Comment out lines 100 and 101 from wpmu-functions.php

Isn't it in line 99 and 100 to comment out that if statement?

99- if( $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT ID FROM ".$wpdb->users." WHERE user_email = '".$admin_email."'" ) == true )
100- return "error: email used";
101- if( strpos( " " . $username, "_" ) != false )
102- return "error: username must not contain _";

I've done that before and it worked. However, the version that I downloaded today doesn't seem to have a wpmu-functions.php file. I've looked through some other files and haven't been able to find a similar way to allow multiple blogs from one address

I found this thread looking for something else.

Not sure if you ever found it but wpmu-functions.php is in your root/wp-inst/wp-includes/ subdirectory.

ergate: What's your understanding on this issue currently?

Hi,

I also need to create multiple blogs with a single email. I commented out the lines 857-859 and lines 1114-1117 in /wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php.

lines 857-859:

// Check if the email address has been used already.
	//if ( email_exists($user_email) )
	//	$errors->add('user_email', __("Sorry, that email address is already used!"));

and lines 1114-1117:

// Check if the email address has been used already.
		//if ( email_exists($email) )
		//	return false;

This appears to be working well so far but I do need to do some more testing before I can say it's not causing problems elsewhere. I haven't seen anybody else do this. Has anyone tried this before and if so, do you know if this could cause any problems elsewhere?

Thanks!

You don't have to hack anything.

Just visit the signup page when you're logged in, and that's it.

I'm wanting multiple blogs for a single username/email combination as well. I hacked the email bit, but not yet the username bit (we're a university, and I am implementing CAS single sign-on as well, everybody needs to be logged in to sign up, and their real userid's are to be used for blog usernames)

There's not a whole lot of settings for admins to configure such things. I think we need more configurable settings.

It's in the core files, you don't have to hack anything. if a user is already on the system and logged in, they go back to the signup page and create another blog.
