registration error and cannot register

Hi!

I can’t reproduce what you’re describing… My “Network Settings” page says “Registration is disabled”.

Could you give me the steps to follow to reproduce it?

Did you apply the s2 patches? WP Admin > s2Member > Multisite Config > Multisite WordPress Patches

Are you saving the s2 options after changing the configuration? Could you show me screenshots of your settings?

??

Thanks for the reply, I have selected “Yes(automatically patch WordPress)” for Multisite WordPress Patches in Multisite Config as follows.

Also, in Multisite Registration Configuration, “Your main site/ allow Open Reguration?” is “yes(allow Open Registration : Free Subscribers. with a free Blog)” in the Multisite Registration Configuration.

Then the “Allow new sites and user accounts to register” checkbox in the Site Network Configuration under Site Network Management is checked and the site is ready to be created.

The new registration form is under lock and key.

if “Your main site/ allow Open Reguration?” in Multisite Registration Configuration is set to “No (do NOT allow Open Registration)”, the site network settings will checked in “New registrations are disabled”

Thanks for the additional details.

If you disable registrations, then it will affect the wp-signup, but the pro-form bypasses that, and will let someone register even if Open Registration is disabled.

The lock in the form is just an icon, it doesn’t mean that it’s locked. I’m sorry that it confused you. You can change it with CSS…

I am having trouble with this because it prevents the registrant from being able to create a site.

I see you’re using a pro-form, but for blog creation you need to use wp-signup.php. See: WP Network Admin > s2Member > Multisite Config > Multisite Registration Config > Running A Multisite Blog Farm?

Multisite Networking makes a new Registration Form available (driven by your theme); which we refer to as: /wp-signup.php. If, and only if, you’re planning to offer Blogs, you MUST use /wp-signup.php, instead of using the Standard Login/Registration Form. In a Multisite installation, we refer to the Standard Login/Registration Form, as: /wp-login.php?action=register. If you’re planning to offer Membership Access only, and NOT Blogs, you can simply use the Standard Login/Registration Form, which is easily customized through s2Member → General Options → Login/Registration Design.

… even with s2Member Pro-Forms, if you are offering Blogs, you will still need to facilitate the actual creation of each Blog through /wp-signup.php. In other words, Customers can register through s2Member Pro-Forms, and even checkout. But when it comes time to setup a new Blog, you will need to redirect your Customer to /wp-signup.php, while they are logged-in. This will allow them to create a new Blog on your Network. That is, if they are allowed to (based on your configuration below).

I would appreciate additional advice: the user who created the account and site from wp-signup.php is registered as a multisite user, but not as a main site user, is this normal? or is there something wrong with the configuration?

Yes, that’s normal. He’s a user (admin) of the new blog he created.

From the network users list you can see what sites he belongs to. Network Admin > Users

But you can add him to other sites from your Network Admin > Sites > Edit > Users > Add Existing User
