The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

Activation vs (former method of) Emailing Password on WPMU blog account Creation (2 posts)

    I have indeed searched through the forums before posting this problem of mine...

    I can NOT create *. wildcards for fourth-level domains.

    I have several wmpu installations on subdomains hanging off of my main domain.

    Specifically, I have the following set up looking like this:

    wpmu-install-1.domain.ca
    wpmu-install-2.domain.ca
    wpmu-install-3.domain.ca

    etc.

    I had been manually signing up for blogs, having wpmu email out the password, then I would log in under the main admin account and manually activate each and then edit each newly created blog.

    With account activation now with the new build, I can no longer do this, as accounts need to be activated first by clicking onto a url... a url which can not be created on my server.

    example: wpmu now sends out an email with a message to click on an activation url that begins like:

    newblogname.wpmu-install-1.domain.ca

    I did several installs so when I list-all blogs, they only show their respective blogs within created within 1, 2, 3 etc. That plus wpmu not being 1.0 with ongoing changes blah blah blah...

    Question: Is there still a way for the admin to manually create and/then edit the newly created blogs from the dashboard area?

    OR can passwords be emailed out rather than activation urls?

    I can't be the only one with this problem.

    Yes. Dashaboard -> Site Admin -> Blogs -> Bottom of the page you'll see "Add Blog"

    It should send out an email to the email address you put in there with a random password.

    Hope this helps,
