Use the Multisite User Management plugin and set default role for the sub site to None.

A few of these have appeared recently, updating W3 Total Cache or clearing it were the solution…

If you have network activated it, then it won’t appear in the sub site list of plugins.

As super-admin, if you go to the Dashboard of any subsite (or the one that you are trying to login to as a normal user) and go to list all users – what do you see? If you see all the users in this subsite as the main site, then there must be another problem that is affecting users logging in.

If you don’t see any normal users listed in the All Users list of that subsite, then the Multisite User Management plugin doesn’t seem to be working.

I run this Multisite User Management plugin, but my users are not created by registration. They are created manually or are shibbolised users – I am not sure if this makes a difference or not…

I have networked activated this plugin. Apart from setting default roles as you have done, I’ve not done anything else, and my network users appear in the subsites (only those I have set default roles for) as users with those roles.

In the network dashboard, under sites, all sites, you can see this list of users in each site listed in the 4th column.

Write a plugin to rewrite a shortcode [video.mp4] to https://parent_domain.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/4/files/2011/10/video.mp4 ?

Or better still find a plugin that does this or deals with the problem.

I believe the blogs.dir structure for uploaded media has been done away with in 3.5. This might solve your problem, though a new install is needed – an upgrade to 3.5 will keep the blogs.dir structure.

You can use a user management plugin which can auto add users to subsites.

One such a plugin is: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/

The FAQ recommends you to keep up with the latest WP releases.

Go to the subsite’s dashboard. Add a new user user the Users menu

This looks like a bigger bug (probably only in multisite) than expected!

When I call the add_user_to_blog* function. It adds the current admin who is calling this function to ALL blogs as a participant!

*I am currently finishing off writing my own add user plugin (see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/create-local-users-in-each-subdomain?replies=26 ) so have to use this function.

Will do when I tackle bbpress next…

No, but no matter. It looks like I’ve found a bug.

The settings don’t seem to take effect until I check the ‘Auto role Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site’ and then save, then uncheck and save again. Doing this seems to have stop users being automatically added.

You need to add yourself as a member of the other site.

I mean all the WordPress files and directories.

What system is your install running on? Unix, Linux or something else… Do you have command line access? If so perform an ‘ls -la’ on the WordPress root directory and see who owns the files.
