Can't add new users – HELP!

Oh actually…I did manage to post off my iPhone, although it still shows an error.

Logged out…now it won’t let me log back in…

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /content/StartupHost/t/r/transenduro.co.uk/web/transpyrenduro/wp-config.php:1) in /content/StartupHost/t/r/transenduro.co.uk/web/transpyrenduro/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866

Oh deary me :o/

Hmmm ok, with a spot of trawling I seem to have made those errors go away, however my initial problem remains.

One question – do I actually need to enable MultiSite? I don’t want to add anymore sites (not at this stage anyway), I simply want to add another user as a second Admin or even just contributor on the one existing site I already have.

Seems like I’m having to go all around the houses to achieve something that should be very simple :o/

It seems you started the setup of a multisite, but didn’t entirely finish it. Once you manage to finish the setup, you’ll be able to add users through a new admin panel that will become available.

If you don’t need multisite, you can turn back to the regular WP, which is quite a bit easier to work with, but if you plan on making a new blog later on, you could better find out what’s wrong now.

To revert back to a regular WP, you can change the wp-config.php and the .htaccess back to the original state and I think you can delete these tables from your database (myPHPadmin):
? wp_blogs
? wp_blog_versions
? wp_registration_log
? wp_signups
? wp_site
? wp_sitemeta

Btw, I think multisite always needs to be installed with WP in the root, if you installed it in the folder …/transpyrenduro/, this could cause the problem (not entirely certain). In your case I’d think it would be a better practice to turn the main site in a WP-site with your blog and the other subsites the current site refers to as subsites.

You don’t HAVE to install in root.

Since his URL is https://transenduro.co.uk/transpyrenduro/ that’s fine ?? All his sites will start with that URL as well.

One question – do I actually need to enable MultiSite? I don’t want to add anymore sites (not at this stage anyway), I simply want to add another user as a second Admin or even just contributor on the one existing site I already have.

No. You don’t need Multisite at all for that. Just add a new user.

Ok, so I really am going round the houses!

Right, the reason I’ve posted in Multisite help is that I was directed to do so after originally posting in general help <sigh>

So anyway, that aside, my (by all accounts very basic) problem remains – I cannot add a new user!

My ONLY option when I go to do this is to “add existing user” and as there are none other than me that doesn’t work.

Soooooo…. Back to my original question, why can’t I add a new user?!

Warning: Cannot modify header information

You now appear to have an issue in your wp-config.php file. See Solving “headers already sent” warnings.

I was directed to do so after originally posting in general help

That was purely because you said that you were using Multisite.

why can’t I add a new user?

At the risk of muddying the waters, are you sure that you are logged in with full admin privileges?

I started following the Create a Network instructions, and only got as far as completing step 2! After that, step 3 doesn’t seem to work as I can’t see Network Setup in my Dashboard.

*head desk* I swear I know this one…

Okay

1) Do you WANT to use Multisite?

2) If so, where in your wp-config.php is the line define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);

What’s above and below it?

Right, let’s start again before we all throw ourselves off a tall building…

I want to add my friend as a new user to my WP site https://transenduro.co.uk/transpyrenduro/

However, from my dashboard, the only option available to me is to add an existing user.
I do not have the add new user option. As I am the only existing user thats not much good to me.

That, in a nutshell, is my problem.

Anyone able to help? Please?!

Do you want Multisite though? Yes or no?

Cause we can either spend time trying to FIX multisite, or uninstall it. Which way do we go? Up to you ??

In a word No. I dont think so.

Literally all I want to do is figure out how I can add another user to my one existing site.

So, if I can do that without Multisite then great. The simpler the better. ??

No option to add NEW user…just existing.

That;s becuase you’ve got Multisite.

Read this: https://wpmututorials.com/how-to/how-to-disable-multisite/

Do that. Multisite goes away.

The problem of not being able to add additional userts existed before multisite was enabled.

In fact, multisite was enabled in an attempt to solve the problem.

However, I’ll have a read of that and see where that takes me. Back to Square 1 quite possibly!
